Thrasher Magazine

There’s a million things to do in NYC at any given moment, but there’s only one Death Match. While bands like Obituary and Agnostic Front lit up the stage and riled up the pits, ramp sessions were fueled to the next level. The energy was explosive. See you next year...

Once again the world’s greatest skate and music fest roared to life in the Big Apple with a diabolical new ramp, epic bands and Yuto, Greyson and the Vans Wrecking Crew throwing down all weekend long. Missed it? Sucks to be you.

Skateboarding’s top concrete crushers slug it out on the insane terrain of Red’s Lincoln City, Oregon – parks, pits, dirt and destruction. Grindline the Band, Arctic, Bad Shit and many more provide the soundtrack as the crew pushes the limits for those who can’t. Pure mayhem and good times! Where were you?!

The sun was bright, the revvs were high, and Oakland’s concrete sanctuary of the skate Gods was alive with the spirit of the recently departed. Fix yourself a coffee, grab a snack and enjoy the show.

A sunny day in Oakland brought out a heavy crew of skaters and spectators to celebrate the life of Preston "P-Stone" Maigetter. Check out some photos here.

Vans hit Oahu, HI, for the Duct Tape Festival and the concrete waves were firing! Coping was crushed, loops were looped, DJ Juan Love (Cardiel) killed the tables (and skated!) and stoke levels were off the charts. Click play; get hyped!

Neckface got free rein from Stance to hype up his new signature line of gear, so he picked his favorite holiday, Halloween and threw a launch party.

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???

Rowan and Frecks kick it off with a rip ride around Vietnam, meeting Ishod and the boys for an island hop to Bali destroying every spot in sight. Loud tunes, crusty spots and cold beer–Skate Rock Bali is one for the books!
