Thrasher Magazine

Founded in 1981 by Fausto Vitello and Eric Swenson, Thrasher Magazine redefined skate culture from San Francisco, becoming the unapologetic “skateboarding bible” with its iconic Flame Logo and “Skate and Destroy” ethos. From pioneering the King of the Road series to crowning legends like Tony Hawk and Tyshawn Jones as Skater of the Year, Thrasher remains the gritty authority on raw street style, punk rebellion and skateboarding’s unfiltered soul.
