Ben Gore #7.


Ode to Kalis.

Dave Chami took this photo of Ben Gore at Fort Miley as a homage to the November 1995 issue of Transworld with Josh Kalis on the cover. The issue had interviews with Eric Koston and Guy Mariano plus a feature on the photography of Ari Marcopoulos. That collection of words and photographs is regarded as a high watermark in the legacy of Transworld. Of note is that Ben is wearing State shoes. I had two pairs of them and the shoes were awful. They were so uncomfortable that they didn't even cut it as chillers so I can't imagine skateboarding in them. That aside, Ben rips and is pro for Magenta.
