Happy Holidays from everyone at 411VM! This year, we are bringing you a special 411VM present with creative direction from none other than the legendary Mark Gonzales! The 522 On The 411 highlights Mark's special touch to the graphics, so you'll for sure want to get your hands on a copy of this FREE issue in stores on December 25, 2007 (well, maybe a day or two before...)!

Kickin' off the issue with a mean Openers segment, Don Nguyen Heelflips over one hell of a street gap and Felix 'Polo' May gives the infamous MACBA 4 a piece of his mind stompin' down a Fakie Varial Flip. Bolts! David Gravette wastes no time with an Ollie into a steep-ass gnarly bank and right into Chaos. Here we go again with Devin Appelo, Eric Fletcher, Dyson Ramones, Lee Yankou, Aldrin Garcia, and Jordan Hoffart!

"Hey 411VM, can I have a part?" asked Justin Schulte. "Sure you can," we said. Just like that Justin comes through with a full part showcasing his smooth style while taking his friends Tony Tave, Mike Anderson, Dennis Durrant, and Torey Pudwill along for the ride.

The Gonz drew upon on his childhood memories of listening to Camel and hanging out with his uncle for the theme behind the Krooked Montage. It displays the skateboarding talents of Bobby Worrest, Van Wastell, Dan Drehobl, and the rest of the Krooked squad.

Without pause, Mike Anderson spills his guts on his life goals of learning to draw, play guitar, and how he feels about art and skateboarding. Mike proves to be an interesting cat with some interesting skating to match.

We'd like to go on the record and say that the Adidas skate team is awesome and so is this montage. With Mark Gonzales Dave Bachinsky, Tim O'Connor, Vince Del Valle, Rob G, Nestor Judkins, Dennis Busenitz, Lem Villemin and the rest of the crew that spend all day dreaming about skating.

Putting the final nail in the coffin, Andrew Allen stumps Jake Phelps with a Switch Ollie to Last-Step-Disaster that's soon to turn into a classic skate quote. Andrew is the epitome of what raw street skating is all about: fast, powerful, and having the ability to skate any and all terrain without hesitation. Our friends at Anti-Hero are proud to have him on their team and holding down the last part.

Special Features include an extended edit of the Krooked Montage featuring tons more Gonz footy as well as a few extra clips of the team for everyone to enjoy. Hurley brings a hurricane to Orlando, Florida featuring Kris Markovich, Robert Lopez-Mont, and Justin Strubing. The Crimson team hit up the Midwest earlier this year. We got the footy covering it all from shop signings to demos with Richie Belton, James Atkin, Rick Eusey, Steve Fauser, and the rest of the guys that bleed skateboarding. The staple product guide shows off some of the new skate gear that's available so be on the lookout!
