Thrasher Magazine

After all is said and done, we lived like pirates. Sleeping in a hotel or bushes, it doesn't matter. This is the best crew, straight mental cases. If you want us in your town, let us know. We will rock your world.

After a week of busted bones and ear ringing, Skate Rock Japan winds down at a sea wall spot that didn't help much two years ago. Thanks to all of the Japanese skaters, hosts, ramp owners, and everyone we met. Felem rules and nothing is safe when the Skate Rock crew is in town.

More carnage, more beer, more barneys. This is what we do.

First night out, tons of slams. Vincent leaves early and Raven coasts in late.

"Went to Oz, witnessed the gnarliest skateboarding in the history of urethane and even kicked the Mayans in their cosmic balls. 2012 was heavy fuckin' duty."

Hall of Meat is a harsh reminder of skating's brutality. It's a medicine usually given in small doses… So prepare to overdose. This clip is not for the faint of heart.

Here's more photos and footage from this year's SOTY party. This was the first venue in years to not give us a permanent ban. Thanks to everyone who showed, the bands, sponsors Monster and HoodieBuddie, and most of all, David Gonzalez.

A guided tour of SF, casual dining and vintage black metal make for a hell of a SOTY party. Congrats, Gonzo!
