Slam Magazine

Slam Skateboard Magazine

Slam Magazine has been Australia's longest-running skateboard publication for over 30 years, published by skateboarders for skateboarders rather than corporate media companies trying to exploit youth demographics. Their four premium issues per year focus primarily on Australian skaters while including international coverage that actually matters to local scenes, documenting progression with quality photography and editorial content that treats skateboarding seriously. Slam provides perspectives often missing from American skateboard media, showcasing riders and scenes that might otherwise remain unknown outside their regional contexts. The magazine represents independent skateboard journalism that prioritizes authentic documentation over promotional considerations, appealing to readers who understand the difference between skateboarding culture and skateboarding industry. Their longevity proves that quality content and genuine community focus can sustain publications longer than trend-chasing or advertiser-driven editorial strategies.
