Thrasher Magazine is a monthly skateboarding magazine published by High Speed Productions, Inc., San Francisco, USA, which was founded in January 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson and Fausto Vitello. Most of the magazine's pages are devoted to skateboarding - photos, interviews, tour reports, but there are also articles about music, photography and skate parks. The magazine also runs a website: http://www.thrashermagazine.com and is present on all social media. Its goal is to develop and promote skateboarding. On the YouTube channel we can regularly watch various series, such as Skateline, Magnified, Hall of Meat, Classic Covers or My War, but full-length films also have their world premieres there. It is the main platform for every skater. Every skateboarder dreams of being at least on the page, not to mention a photo inside or on the cover. In the skateboarding community, the magazine is referred to as the Bible. In addition, Thrasher produces clothes, a large selection of which can be found in our store, including: Flame Logo sweatshirts and T-shirts, Skatemag Logo sweatshirts and T-shirts or classic T-shirts with the Skate and Destroy pattern.
