In 1981, a group of San Francisco skateboarders put together the first issue of Thrasher magazine. Today, Thrasher is bigger and better than ever -- its name synonymous with both skateboarding's roots and its constant evolution. This jam-packed retrospective recounts skateboarding's twists and turns of the last two decades, and offers a glimpse at its thriving future. It reprints the best of the original Thrasher photos and columns, and features unpublished photos, rejected covers, interview outtakes, and detailed profiles. Action-packed photos capture legendary skaters such as Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Andrew Reynolds, Tony Alva, Mike Carroll, and Lance Mountain. The definitive guide to the history and development of the risk taking, bone breaking world of the world's fastest growing extreme sport. Big, softbound, loaded with color photos.
