Thrasher Magazine

Omar Hassan sits down at the Vans Skatepark Round-Up and tells the story of his head scalping during the Downtown Showdown.

Jesse Martinez opened the gates to Dogtown and the Vans team showed up in volume. From Tony Alva to Andrew Langi, our biggest Round-Up yet.

Some tours get bogged down with 1pm wake-ups, four meals a day, and weird shopping errands… But not with Danny Garcia, Omar Hassan, Riley Hawk, and others on the road.

Orange County kinda sucks, but the new combi is killer. Check the Thrasher edit of the total bro-down. And that's time. Thanks to Vans for a great weekend!  

A couple of decades ago, Omar was one of those skate prodigies you hear about. Well, he's been charging non-stop ever since and clocked a full part that's going to make you want to skate today for sure.

From old dogs to young guns this week's 'five' consist of Omar Hassan, Nick Palmquist, P-Kid, Andrew Reynolds, and Robbie Russo. Photos: Rhino
