‘I needed to get drunk to land in bank on all my fours but I was still hesitant to land it. The fire went out all the time, so I was trying to add gas by hand. I almost burned this place down and while trying to put the fire out, I caught on fire myself. I ran in some other room, rolled myself into a blanket, went back and managed to put the fire out. By that time. everybody was gone.’
This interview took 6 years, but it was all worth the wait. Almir Jusovic is a writer, sculptor, skateboarder, martial artist, lover, giver and his own biggest fan. This interview gives a glimpse on his creative mind and the struggles that come with it.

@lto.tattoo était pressé d’aller faire ce pole jam et il a eu raison. Vite avant que le service de la voirie vienne remplacer ces poteaux sans doute tordus par un automobiliste maladroit.
La photo avait été exposée chez @artbyfriends pour l’expo “Pigeon Camo”, on peut désormais la voir dans le numéro 32 de @backsideskatemag en ligne et comme toujours sur le site annecyzoo.com

‘Ryan Thompson. Nollie backside 180. I honestly can't convey to any of you how fucked this is. The one thing that troubles me about this photo is that you can't tell he travelled at least 8 feet in distance also. Sheeeesh Ryan.’

Congratulations to Brian Anderson for being inducted to the Skateboarding Hall of Fame 2026.
This is what Dave Swift had to say about his shot of Brian:
'For a big part of the 1990’s the UCSD campus in La Jolla was a hot spot for local and out of town skateboarders who wanted to film tricks on one of the many spots. This ledge was nearly shoulder high on me but Brian Anderson had no problem sticking this tailslide in only a few tries. Brian was on fire in 1999.'
Dave Swifts full interview along with other background story is in Vol10 under 'Issue' at backsideskatemag.com
