Thrasher Magazine

Concrete crusaders from San Diego and beyond converged on Washington Street to rip, laugh, rock and gawk. Happy 25th, you beautiful, terrifying bridge!

Hella merch … for a good cause!

Steve and Gregson know

Mikey Ratt with the WSVT Torah

Bumped into the Breedings, early-bird style

Logos out, always

Daniel Zapata test drives the treacherous temporary additions … as if this place wasn’t challenging enough

While Eric drives a casual Losi upstream

Made Brandon Perelson try a trick probably eight more times than he wanted to. Gonna run it in the mag tho!

Worth it when you see that sweet, sweet clip

Filling up

Slappy’s crew made it, with back lip legend Jason Carney and the injured list’s Bryson Farrill on judging detail. Thank you for your service(s)

Larry n Smokes

Grimple adjacent: Evan and Raney

Left Hesh and a small portion of the OG Hesh Crew

The kids started firing. Kanon lifts a fish

Heavy andrecht with the pants barely holding on!

Arron tosses lien in that pool shirt, wow!

Ty’Rae Carter, wrestling a Smith

Did you guys know about Matthew Wilcox?? Dude will land ANY air. Never seen someone consistently land airs so far down the transition in my life and SURVIVE! Very special skill

Boneless corners, too. And to revert!

Lady Meek, never mild, through the corner on a feeble to boardslide. Plus, we’re both from Texas, so Yee-Haw

Nick Papa tests out the shelf thing. More on that later

Archer was on one, as the phone already showed you

How is that dude NOT DOOBIE??? C’mon!

More boneless action

And then Muscle rolled in …

A terrible force of nature, really

Part animal, part some other kind of scarier animal

But nice as grandpa off the board!

Eli, coming through!

Dezmin Lane looking dynamite on a front board

While Nick stabs the feeble

This may have been the contest, but it was kind of hard to tell. The shit was nonstop! Omar made it

These were nuts ––corner float to disaster. Greyson is equally as special as Muscle but in his own distinct way

The Radical Rabbi! FSA corner

Tristan Rennie showed up a little late. Made up for it, though

And that might have ended that portion!

Starthead primes the crowd for the next event

Healthy turnout considering the treacherous standing room

All part of the experience

Box time!

Rick Bugos got the fast plant

And wouldn’t you know Dalton Dern McTwisted the goddamn thing! Happy 40th, BTW

Perimeter check: all seats occupied

Jimmy Moore: check

Bring your guard dog … if you got one

Nordic types on tailgate

SD OGs Mark Johnson and Hurvey

The only birds we know. And Ronnie

Lady holding court

Lil B made it

Speaking of … time to rev up the streetstyle portion! Lunatic Fringer Sam Sneed goes straight in

There’s no NBS in the ocean

Eric Hutch gets handsy

Jhanca made it … to shove it out!

And then Sneed buries the needle with the 270 backbender. Wow!

Michelle, Michaela, Vanessa and Trish ––vibes are high

Ramp owners: David and Milton

Danny G and Jhanca G

You too!

Next up: the shelf. Greyson’s face is all you need to know

Scraping somewhere around the hole

This egg was so surprising I shot it way late

Locals mostly

Slightly over vert on a wall that’s hard to get speed for anyway

The frontal coulda happened, but not without serious anguish

Turns out this artsy inside-the-hole angle was largely a mistake

Daggers … everywhere

And then Hericles Fagundes put a cork in it with the good ol’ nosegrind, thank God

AND FINALLY …. The CRADLE OF FILTH!!!!

What’s a good song for going upside down??

Insane cat and mouse

With Archer being more mouselike, by default

And thus, taking the lead

You know it’s fucked if Tristan is only tapping the top

Holy shit!

You saw the Muscle crail revert, of course

Doesn’t seem reasonable to get this much air out of it

And then the elusive backside crail Varial

Ride away clean

Simply amazing. Congrats, Archer!

And then the greatest prize of all … a towel, hopefully

Music portion

Grab a partner for the dance floor!

First up, the skate-inflected stylings of Sewer Gap!

Bringing the intensity

Like, fr fr

Followed by Curb Creeps

Somehow I knew that duet wouldn’t last

Unless it’s Perelson getting some bars in

No time to be shy, get out there!

Engineer Paco and his secret microphone-saving technique

Texas Dan and Joe Pino approve

Even the legends had a nice time

Mindblowing, all said

What a time to be alive

In San Diego. At Washington Street. For 25 years

Really makes you feel grateful. Thank you, WSVTers. See ya in 2049!
