Thrasher Magazine

It’s been a year but the love keeps flowing. We’ve added new testimonials to this retrospective page. Take a few moments and soak up more stories from the life and times of Jake Phelps. 

Stüssy’s new promo comes through with some strong coastal flavor. Aaron Loreth returns to wreck his staple Ventura spots and Cyrus Bennett closes the curtains. Plus, Lance has his own section. What more do you want?

You won’t get a better mentor than Lance to help you get upside down. Follow along in this Nike segment as he makes a house call, slaps some curbs and helps Donny hoist. Listen to the man: “inverts keep you young.” 

Some of the best people in skating descended on Portland to rally behind Rattray and the fight against mental illness. Check the photos here.

The OGs Ngoho, Mountain, Alba and Olson descend upon Japan to tear into some concrete and present their creative craftsmanship. Love and Guts, lay it all on the line.

Curb skating is a blast but it's rarely the subject of a photo essay. Ryan Maddox documents the art of colliding with curbs and shows that, if you're up close enough, every slappy is a lightning strike.

Since not all of us can have a private tour of their warehouse, DLX was kind enough to take a selection of goodies down to Black Long Beach for a lil’ art show.

This was the 15th and final Vans Pool Party at the Combi Bowl in Orange, CA, and it was fired the F UP! From the Legends to the Masters to the Pros, everybody put it on the line for this one. May the fourth be with you all. 

Our guy Hambone hit up the Pool Party and brought back the goods! Check the photos and get the recap from one of the gnarliest events in skateboarding. Gonna miss ya, Combi!
