Back in 2000, Upson, Drehobl, Staba, and Anderson took it Down Under and came up with a full part for video #13, Timebomb.

Thanks to everyone who entered the Drehobl To Fakie contest. Here's a montage of some of the entries, with Dan's top five at the end.

Here's another classic cover excerpted from our December 2009 issue. Switch 5.0 at Hubba Hideout in 1995? That's right, it's Fred Gall, fuckers.

Continuing East on our Northwest journey, by the time we got to Irigon the crew was all tore up.

After a good night at The Hut in Portland, the crew got up and headed east. Hood River was the first stop with a full-out assault on the QP, with a guest appearance from the newly married Al Partanen.

Continuing on our Northwest trip: Red took us to his friend's front yard bowl, and then we headed into the vortex of Portland.

Woke up the next morning to an epic breakfast courtesy of Red and family. The crew got some last licks in on the bowl, and then we headed to the Shit Banks.

Day two had us rained on in Coos Bay, so we took the crew north to Florence and Reedsport where Danger went for the loop.

Day one of a week-long trip to Oregon had us at Myrtle Creek and Winston. Skating, camping, and BB guns, good to be back on the road.

Send in your gnarliest pivot or 5.0 to fakie on video and win a fat box from Dan Drehobl. Contest ends October 16, 2009.

It's hard to find a Thrasher video that Dan Drehobl didn't at least have a few clips in, but out of them all, I'm gonna have to go with his part in Hall Of Meat as my favorite. This 1999 part introduced the late Wesley Willis to me, and with tricks like wrap-arounds and dumptrucks to fakie in the Vagabond? You pick a better nomination for a Classic. —Schmitty

Here's a sneak-peek at the cover and first trailer for our epic new skate video, Under The Bridge, available now Thrasher DVD.
