Thrasher Magazine

New York City is a treasure trove of Epic Spots and rich layers of history. Ted Barrow takes us through three blocks that boast some of the best terrain in the world. Monumental spots make great skateboarding.

R.B. Umali’s tapes catalog major players from numerous decades, from OGs like Harold, Clyde, Javier and Huf to contemporaries like Westgate and Ishod. We’re forever indebted to The Banks.
