Thrasher Magazine

Steve Nesser and Familia co-owner Dennis Burdick took an empty space and built it into a community hub for Minneapolis skaters. On top of the shop, they operate the winter haven Familia HQ skatepark. See how they made it work in the Midwest. 

The Minneapolis streets were warmin' up so we headed out to Familia HQ with some of the heaviest hitters on the Vans roster and three sick hardcore bands. Hop in the van with Brook as he gives you an insider look at all the action.

All it takes is a couple days to hit the reset button. Leave the stress behind and roll with us. Big Love to Familia and everyone in MPLS. Next stop, Boston...

To celebrate Alexis Sablone's new shoe, CONS threw one of the most extravagant release parties with the full team in attendance at the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Big pros, fresh kicks, famous artworks and not famous influencers, see why Trevor Thompson called this night a movie.

A new Louie Lopez/ Erik Herrera Cons flick? You better believe LA rolled out. And before the night’s over … somebody’s going pro!

Louie’s pro Cons had a good first year, so why not throw a party? With hitters like Louie, Alexis and Jake Johnson in the post, you gotta check the photos!

DC shoes and Boulevard skateboards teamed up with LB Skate in Long Beach to throw Tiago Lemos a premiere for his Thrasher part going up this Friday. With Tiago's pop and trick selection, it was a no brainer for all of Cherry Park to come check out the sneak peak. —Ben Karpinski

Nesser is Triple OG, but hasn't lost a step. Tabari represents the new blood outta Minnesota. Put both of these cats together and you have a killer part. Familia is everything. 

Did you know our Double Rock skatepark has an illegitimate child across the bay in the mean streets of Richmond?
