WELCOME TO BAIL. Bail is a new kind of skate magazine--one that’s as much about what happens off the board as what happens on it. Bail celebrates the world around skateboarding: the art, music, politics, and culture that the skate world has spawned. Instead of the strobe photography and trance-inducing copy that permeates the mainstream skate titles, Bail is setting a new standard through in-depth interviews, well-written features, and mouth-watering art and photography. In a way, Bail is a skate magazine for people who grew up even though their skate magazines didn't.
