Letter From the Editor

BOYS AND THEIR TOYS. It’s a subject near and dear—although I was admittedly off my game in 2018. I’ve been riding,

gulp, the same bike (still love ya, Canyon Endurance!) since last August, and I recently crashed a drone I was testing into a tree (user error!). Luckily our team of experts picked up the slack, and this year’s “Gear of the Year” (page 68) is as eye-popping and expansive as ever. But what makes this iteration particularly special is how it fits our cover star. Jason Momoa is the epitome of boys who love their toys, and he’s about as much a

“Men’s Journal guy” as we’ve ever featured. When Marissa Stephenson visited the

Aquaman star’s home, she was treated to an intimate look at his personal trove of guitars, surf boards, bikes, motorcycles, axes, skateboards, and more. “American Badass” (page 60) is an amazing peek into the passions—for both collecting and conquering—of this star on the rise.
