Thrasher Magazine

Vans hit Oahu, HI, for the Duct Tape Festival and the concrete waves were firing! Coping was crushed, loops were looped, DJ Juan Love (Cardiel) killed the tables (and skated!) and stoke levels were off the charts. Click play; get hyped!

Volcom revved up the Wanderlodge, loaded up their team of heavy-hitters, and set out for another jaunt around the States. This is a helluva tour vid!

We hit up the oldest and youngest rider in the Volcom Wanderlodge (Omar Hassan and CJ Collins, respectively) to see what these missions are like from two very different perspectives. Turns out, skateboarding knows no age.

The OC and ATL’s finest converge to celebrate Grant Taylor’s 20 years on Volcom with a skate jam, killer bands, bros, babes, Big Hongry and the premier of Lannie Rhoades’ epic GT documentary. Cheers, Stoners!

Independent Trucks premiered their new video Gotta Pray to Play in San Diego at Culture Brewing Co. Check out some photos here.

The bands were rocking, the pit electric and the ramp action just kept detonating. We brought the Death Match to NYC and NYC brought the high-octane energy. Until next time...

The two-day tornado of rock, rap and radical known as the Thrasher Death Match whipped into the Big Apple recently with brain-scrambling maneuvers sharing space with hellacious pits – plus all the ferocity that names like Omar Hassan, The Gza, Kader Sylla, Gorilla Biscuits, Roman Pabich, Roc Marciano and Pedro Delfino conjure up. A Bill Thomas photo show offered a glimpse into NY skateboarding’s golden age and the whole thing was free! Where were you???

After a big night it’s time to either sweat out the poison or try to soak it up. Alltimers attempted both with a donut-fueled skate jam at Fat Kid the morning after the Death Match. Burnout prefers chocolate old fashioneds!

The coals were on all day and deep into the night at Lower Bobs with plenty of flappin', sippin' and revin' up in honor of our beloved homie, P-Stone.
