Thrasher Magazine

Joe was not only a pioneering ripper, but also an early member of the Thrasher family. Get to know a legend—gone to soon—with this powerful tribute from his fellow lifer Bryce Kanights.

The Antihero team descended into San Diego to rip it up and help celebrate the awesome force which is Peter F—in’ Hewitt. A few grinds, a few laughs and a big blow-out photo show with a special video and musical guest made this bash one for the history books. Who should we celebrate next?

Vans celebrated the release of Rowan's new shoe with a star-studded night on the baseball diamond and a video premiere to boot. Think he's just a menace in the streets? You gotta see the switch hitter at the plate.

Winkowski kicks through the ceiling with a classic part, paving the way for a killer team section before Rob Pace goes on an onslaught for the ages. 50 years in and Santa Cruz is still screaming.

Who’s been ripping the longest with no end in sight? Gotta be Screaming Lord Salba. Pools, pipes… push-ups? Simply untouchable. Happy birthday, Mr. Alba!

Salba, Tony, GT, Rune, Tristan and a gang of greats hop corners in backyard pits, gettin’ busy before the 'dozers hit.

Steve Caballero celebrated 30 years of the Half-Cab with a VIP final session at the Combi Pool. Hosoi, Pabich, Lizzie, MacDonald .... who WASN'T there?!

Hop on the session with Salba for a full day of guitar riffs and backyard dips accompanied by Lance, Dressen and more for Indy.

Knibbs kicks off the show, careening through traffic before Maurio covers the street-bump beat and Eman gets rocked by a phone pole, only to continue his high-speed pursuit. The Santa Cruz squad has outdone itself.
