411 Video Skateboard Magazine was a skateboard video magazine that was founded in 1993 by Josh Friedberg, who was a former editor at TransWorld Skateboarding magazine. 411 Video Skateboard Magazine quickly gained popularity among skateboarders for its unique approach to presenting skateboarding through a video format.
The first issue of 411 Video Skateboard Magazine was released in 1993 on VHS and featured some of the biggest names in skateboarding, including Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Mike McGill. The video featured a mix of skateboarding footage, interviews, and product reviews, and quickly became a hit among skateboarders.
In the years that followed, 411 Video Skateboard Magazine continued to release new issues on a regular basis, each one featuring the latest and greatest in skateboarding culture. The magazine became known for its high-quality production values, innovative editing techniques, and the wide range of skateboarders it showcased.
Over the years, 411 Video Skateboard Magazine produced more than 60 issues, and the publication became a staple of the skateboarding community. The magazine also spawned a number of spin-off series, including "411VM Best Of" and "411VM Industry" which focused on the business side of skateboarding.
In 2008, 411 Video Skateboard Magazine was acquired by Wasserman Media Group, a sports marketing and talent management company. The magazine continued to release new issues until 2012 when it ceased publication.
Despite its relatively short lifespan, 411 Video Skateboard Magazine is still remembered fondly by many skateboarders as a groundbreaking and influential publication that helped to shape the sport and culture of skateboarding.
