Thrasher Magazine

Unless you’ve been living underneath a rotting mini ramp in the woods, you undoubtedly already know that Milton Martinez is our 2019 Skater of the Year. We celebrated his win this past Friday with a bangin'-ass party in The City by the Bay.

The original and greatest raw street contest roared back to life at an undisclosed California kinker last weekend. From Mark Suciu to Jamie Foy and every rail ripper in between, this was one for the history books. And Alex Midler… you’re nuts!

We shut down the alley next to our shop with our friends from Atlas and adidas. Big Love to everyone that came out.

The ultimate Rock, Rap and Radical roadshow returned to Austin, Texas for three days of Thrasher-style fun. Despite some sad news, the spirit of stoke prevailed.

No Comply skateshop in Austin, TX, recently teamed up with Vans and Daniel Johnston to release some kicks with DJ’s artwork on them. Don’t believe us? Click the darn link and see for yourself. We don’t lie.

Every December we gather in SF to ordain the newly minted SOTY. This year’s party might’ve just been the best celebration to date. Congrats, TYSHAWN!

Skateboarding's glitterati stormed LA and the Big Apple to soak up some of that Supreme glow and bask in the triumph of Bill Strobeck's Blessed. Warning – there will be hugs. Congrats, everybody!

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???

Friday’s SOTY celebration in San Francisco was one for the ages, as Foy was crowned and Nickatina elevated the party to another level. Big ups to everyone that made it out.
