"Transworld Skateboarding (TWS) was a global skateboarding magazine founded by Larry Balma and Peggy Cozens in May 1983 in Carlsbad, California.
TWS provided the skate world with visually stunning material and a different perspective than Thrasher magazine.
This perspective comes from Transworld's founder, Larry Balma.
Thrasher's main competitor came up with an alternative motto: "Skate and Create," as opposed to the iconic punk saying "Skate and Destroy."
The goal was to deliver a mainstream skateboard magazine with quality photography and parent-friendly content that all youth could read.
The publication was a success and attracted brands, athletes, the mass market sports manufacturers and, therefore, the X Games.
Transworld Skateboarding quickly grew its fanbase and the positive thinking formula paid off - the magazine had the largest subscription audience among skate publications."
