Thrasher Magazine

'Tis the season when we honor those that had a HELL OF A YEAR. Here’s our hot list of SOTY Contenders for 2018. Who gets your vote?

The spot hunt never ends. Pittsburgh to Detroit, and everything in between, gets ignited by this epic Indy squad: Evan Smith, Wes Kremer, T-Funk, Milton Martinez, Jake Johnson, Dolan Stearns, Pedro Delfino and Marius Syvanen.

While the Indy vid barrage of clips will melt your brain, these photos will soothe your eyes. Here’s a journal account of one hell of a gnarly trip. As seen in the Dec '18 mag.

Pedro is a barbarian, attacking each and every spot with unmatched ferocity. There is no off switch on this dude.

The bands were rocking, the pit electric and the ramp action just kept detonating. We brought the Death Match to NYC and NYC brought the high-octane energy. Until next time...

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???

After a heavy few days in NYC, you’d expect Sunday morning to be fairly chill. However, the level of skating remained sky high at Fat Kid park in BK. Cheers to everyone who rolled out.

The jump ramp is all about GLORY, especially when it’s launching you into a hill bomb. Dime took the challenge from the arena to the streets for the Day 2 festivities.

The man is SKATE AND DESTROY personified, built to attack every piece of terrain in his path. The slams are brutal, but the legendary makes validate the pain.
