Thrasher Magazine

Dogtown and Z-Boys found an audience outside of strictly skaters. Tony Alva, Peggy Oki, Stacy Peralta and more from the OG Zephyr scene break down why it worked and what was missing.

Thrasher founding editor Kevin Thatcher set the stage for everything that has come since. This 40-year ride we have all been a part of could never have happened without him. We caught up with the humble, elusive legend. As seen in the Jan. 2021 issue.

The stars came out for the Bones Brigade Documentary, live from Santa Barbara.
