Thrasher Magazine

the people of New York got treated with a new feature on channel 56. I heard Dick Rizzo was gonna have good shit, so I just had to be there. Hang with the Bronze gang as we go from the famed Williamsburg monument to the big show at Brooklyn’s Vans Space 198. —Ted Schmitz

I started off the day by sharing my super secret pin. Hope nobody blows it out

Rollin’ up, I see the stars of the show: Rizzo and Cuz

I heard the city has to bring a cherry picker to get those cones down. I love some light mischief

I actually don’t like scary movies

They make me feel sad, like this water bottle

Orange juice and beer? Is that an East Coast thing?

Don’t look. It’s the Bronze team and I forgot my board

Shoulda told them it was a mellow session

Looks like the risky rider already paid the toll

Excuse me, I’m required to tell you that Cookie did both rails in one clip

Same as it ever was. Danny Dipalo knows

My absolute favorite thing I’ve ever heard someone say about Cuz was when we were watching the first Bronze TV with Brian Panebianco and he goes “That’s crazy they call him Cuz. He's my cousin.” He made it seem like a coincidence, and I’ll never forget it

Pro skaters, they’re just like us!

Pretty sure we witnessed a Jordan heist

Committed by actual children

Godspeed You! Young Hypebeast

Sam Zentner was on the scene!

He was hyped

So was Flushing legend Joseph Delgato

I made sure to get one alibi skate photo, which was actually pretty impressive on the cruiser wheels. Dick Rizzo, frontside slappy

What’s the opposite of a round-table discussion?

Mark Humienek rolled up. But before I could see that signature finesse...

...it was time to get to the show

Skatepark, venue, Zion billboard, this place does it all!

Stoked to see familiar faces

The night’s guest of honor picked up some very special company on the way over

Pointers up!

Especially for John Devine and the crew from Minnows. I still owe you a tip. Hit me with that Venny request!

What’s that fake proverb that hustle culture dudes talk about? On your shirt there is one wolf. Feed it nachos. I think that’s it

Green-screen selfie booth courtesy of… Selfie Booth?! Imagine all the epic places you can get snapped in front of

Let's test it out, guys

Look, you're in Delaware

Now you're back outside with your friends. Fun stuff

Helmkamp and Humienek approved

Hey, dudes! I like your… beers

It’s hard to know what to do with your hands without a cup or a Liquid Death

Speaking of... I’d like to report over two dozen thirst homicides. You know the perp

Glad to see Solomon Cardenas survived the JIT intro

I stopped to admire the art, but it kinda just felt like looking in a mirror

Here you really can have it all

The behind-the-scenes heroes, Jersey Dave, Cass Lopez and Chris Ramos

Hey, gorgeous

Shit’s about to get heavy now!

Wait, this is just where we were. Oh well, good to see some love for Hoosier tech god Nyle Lovett

Josh also picked up his special plus one on the way

Here’s some skate trivia: which one of these fellas has a part in Static III that I still watch when I need some fire?

Fellow media men? They were there. Good to see you, Wilson

Jimmy McDonald, Rob Gonyon and Danny Falla asked me to Join, or Die… so either I’m on 5Boro in 2012 or I’m dead, writing this blog with St. Peter helping me track down names

I think Andrew’s on, too

Photographers, epic East-Coasters and people who are supposed to be pro but decided to write code instead were there! That’s to say I saw Cole Giordano, Jimmy McDonald and Sean Doyle 

That World Cup hat would probably fetch a few bucks on Depop

Coda red! Duncan, Dylan Goldberger and Jake Keenan in the rare moment they’re not ripping all over the Tri-State area

Your name is Sam? My name is Sam, too!

Caught up with Sadiq and Johnny

Some of the best in the city

Isaac had the pointer up, too

Justin got caught in the crossfire

You’re not gonna "forget to tip" like Ted, are you?

Purple haze with Jadeja, Davey and Naquan

This is the part of the night where I fucked up my shutter speed. Queezy and Thomas Dritsas didn’t mind

Queens killer Marcello knows everyone!

Davey snapped up with Big Hen Dawg

Almost too much style to fit into one picture—Dustin Eggeling and Mark Humienek

Oh shit, it must be time to get this thing going

Packed house

Floor seats mean something different at a premiere

It’s just a skate video. Don’t overthink it

Good Q. Congrats on over a decade in this hairy business, though

Dick Rizzo, the hero we need

Everyone stop in to Minnows when you’re in BK. Best bar by far

That’s about it for the night. Let’s say peace to a few on the way out. Chicago ruler Jesse Ward was in the building and making friends with a Scorpio 

John, Danny and Jovi loved it

Thanks again for everything, Dave! We simply must do it again

Give another round of applause for this gang, then watch it when it hits this very site
