Thrasher Magazine

Marking three decades in the game, Girl got the gang back together—from the OGs to the current roster. They also treated us with a massive trove of memorabilia from over the years. Join us as we see the famous faces and iconic art that have kept Girl fresh since ‘93. —Alex Papke

First things first, the OG run of Girl Boards, circa ’93

We even got a merch shop with all your Girl needs

Thirty years of tours, courtesy of Mark Lewman

And, yes, Deckaid brought the boards

Tons of originals, too

It wouldn’t be a show without a few photos up on the wall

Not to mention some Yeah Right! treasures

Can’t forget Pretty Sweet either

Before there were phones, there were tapes

Did we mention this was all on eBay?!

A personal favorite series of mine, featuring the late-and-great Robbie McKinley. RIP

Lots of good reading material

Litigation included

Some original Guy graphics

And even a bar napkin with Colin McKay’s contract!

Don’t think we forgot the Cliver art

First guests to the party, McCrank and Rip

Even the big dogs gotta show ID

Feds would never be late to something like this

Once the pizza came out, all the goons showed up

Cold even brought the drug bag

Look Back Library's Kevin Marks had a big night ahead of himself

Look who we got here

Free drinks are always a plus (but don't forget to tip your bartender)

It isn’t a party without Chico

Feds took a tab of acid and decided to make a Girl OG out of hard drives, all with original clips playing in the head. Sometimes drugs work

Rye and the most important person at the party, Megan Baltimore

Heavy GOAT sightings

Media titans Chris Ray and Mike Blabac were there

Steves and Val, stoked to be expecting their second

A quick catch up for Guy and Alex Olson

C-Rob and Kenny, two of Choco’s finest

If you want a dope meal and a mean back overcrook, OG Sean B and Malto got you covered

Scott Johnston, coming in second best dressed to Feds

A Sacto sandwich with Landi, Price and Janoski

Meza made it right back to where he belongs

Fuck it, let's get Chromeball in there, too

Big interviews from eBay

Return of the Art Dump, Andy X 2

Richard Mulder loves the McClungs. Can you blame him?

Damn, they even got latté art

Carlos, the man responsible for many of your favorite Chocolate graphics over the years, pictured here with his first board

Always great to see CK1

The collectors were out in full force

Everyone had the same reaction to Fed’s masterpiece

Mike Carroll is a really hands-on employer

He’s really big on affection

Maybe a little aggressive sometimes

He kept it cool for Fabian, though

We even got SOTYs in the building

The Rodfather and Spanish—quite possibly the best roommates there are

Big love for Brophy and Marello

Mike and Colin, both big on the B

The new gen of Crailtap pros, Erik Herrera and Niels Bennett

James came for SAD. SAD came for the pizza

Boise boys, Mack and James

When they decide to interview your girlfriend about what the best part of Girl is, she better say its the imagery, specifically in the last seven years

Even the shoe industry titans are homies. We love it

Daniel Policelli is Crailtap’s walking encyclopedia. He’s a fan turned employee, thus requested several photos of himself with his favorites throughout the night

Colin was definitely one of them

And Feds was high up on the list, for sure. Anything for you, Daniel!

Big fan out moment for Sheffey

The Primitive team was there, trying to gather tips on longevity

We wouldn’t have a Breezy cover without Taylor Ballard!

Tim Gavin still in disbelief he was on the original roster

There was a lot of catching up to do

And lots of hugs, too

Best believe Jeron knows it

And finally, Rickk spots the missing piece of the puzzle

Koston made it!

And just like that, we have the original Girl roster, all the way from ’93

Just like it’s always been

A quick intermission for BA to sign some gold

Now an even bigger task—fitting everyone in one photo

A team so big, we had to go panorama

And we’re only missing three of them

Kevin went straight to work

A whole lotta love for these guys

Always down to flick up Mike Mo and Malto

Let’s not forget the time Griffin and Niels dressed up as clowns to turn pro

We even got J Casanova on the phone

By the looks of it, it’s time to wind the night down

I really hope Daniel remembers this night in the morning. Shout out to everyone that came through to celebrate 30 years of one of our favorite brands. See you guys at the 40th!
