        Stay Connected to Real Skate Culture with Slam Magazine

        Ever flicked through a mag that actually gets it? Slam Magazine isn’t trying to impress anyone—it’s just doing what it’s always done: covering skate the way it should be.

        Printed by Slam Media, this is Australia’s longest-running skate mag, repping the scene since before social feeds took over. You’ll find it on newsstands, in local shops, or stacked on coffee tables at your crew’s house.

        A magazine subscription keeps you looped in, or grab a single issue when something big drops. It’s all style, history, raw stories, and clean layout. Not to be confused with the other Slam Magazine—the one that’s all hoops, dunk, NBA or NCAA talk.

        If skating’s what you live, this is the mag that’s still keeping it printed and legit.

        Read by the Ones Who Keep It Real

        Slam Magazine speaks straight to skaters who live it, not just watch it. Its readers are grounded in Australian skateboarding, backing local spots, street edits, and the culture that keeps things real. This isn’t for people chasing trends. It’s for those who already know what’s up.

        From Australia to New Zealand, the mag covers everyday crews, rising stars, and women pushing harder every season. It’s grassroots, raw, and written for people who skate because they love it, not to chase clout.

        Real Coverage That Matters to Skaters

        You don’t read this mag for filler. Every issue of Slam Skateboarding Magazine hits with purpose: clean layouts, solid writing, and content that speaks directly to skaters who know the difference.

        The mag covers what actually matters to the scene. You’ll find full-length profiles that go deep without the fluff, legit event recaps that capture the vibe and gear breakdowns based on real use. It’s all built on firsthand access, trusted voices, and a long-running connection to the streets.

        Unlike brands that chase trends, Slam Skateboarding Magazine sticks to what it does best, which is telling stories from inside the scene. Each issue reflects what’s going on right now in skateboarding, from local legends to the next names coming up.

        Who’s Pushing What and Why

        ​Every issue of Slam Skateboarding Magazine dives into the stories of Australia's top skaters, offering readers a genuine look into their lives and journeys. These in-depth interviews go beyond the surface, capturing the passion and dedication that fuel their craft.​

        For instance, the Autumn 2024 edition featured an interview with Reef Condon, highlighting his transition from the Sunshine Coast to Melbourne and his rise in the skate scene. Such profiles provide readers with authentic narratives, connecting them to the skaters who shape Australia's skateboarding culture.

        Big Comps, Big Moments

        ​From local throwdowns to international showdowns, Slam Skateboarding Magazine brings readers to the heart of the action. Its coverage spans grassroots Australian comps and global events, delivering stories that resonate with skaters who crave authenticity.​

        Beyond the podiums and scores, Slam offers behind-the-scenes insights that capture the true essence of each event. High-impact photography complements these narratives, immersing readers in the moments that define skateboarding culture.

        Real Gear Talk, No Sales Pitch

        When it comes to gear, Slam Skateboarding Magazine keeps it straightforward. Each issue offers honest reviews of the latest decks, trucks, and apparel, ensuring readers get insights from skaters who know their stuff.​

        Whether it's breaking down new tech or assessing updates on classic gear, the magazine provides the information you need without the sales pitch. It's all about helping you make informed choices for your setup.​

        Who Has Been Featured in Slam Magazine?

        Some skaters just get covered. Others earn the page. Hayley Wilson made history as the first female Skater of the Year, and Brad Saunders turned heads with a heavy 360 flip in the middle of Madrid.

        Then there’s Nixen Osborne, dropping a flawless backside disaster in Sydney, and Rome Collyer, locking in Skater of the Year with raw consistency and power. Slam Skateboarding Magazine takes the time to show what these skaters are about, why it matters, and how they’re shaping the future of Aussie skateboarding across all time.
