Thrasher and Converse CONS are back again to throw the best party of the year. This was our second rodeo at Pappy + Harriets, and hopefully not our last! Roll in with a conglomeration of artists, degenerates and the best in the biz.

We’re getting revved up over here

Milton and his new ramp! Not sure how you’re gonna get it home, though
Showin’ up for Minnesota and Austin, we got Dennis Burdick from Familia Skateshop and Elias Bingham from No-Comply
This is the type of fired up we like to see! Right on, Cody
Sally V and Jordan Joseffer, always a pleasure

You don’t wanna run into these two in a dark alley
Are you guys starting a band? Well, I think we got your first album cover
Big shoutout to our Push and Pour family, all the way from Idaho to keep everyone caffeinated AF
Big, fat happy Cons family
Okay, now we’re getting serious. Bailey and Kat getting the crowd absolutely raging
I can’t be the only one swooning over Kat Moss
Watch the spikes
A Gang Called Speed laying down the law
This photo is all-time. I hope you’re out there reading this!
Showing some skin and playing the flute…wait, what?
I didn’t know the belly flop was a pit maneuver. Well, now it is!
Filmer dudes Ewan and Brendan
The big homie, OG homie, Too $hort takes the stage
This right here is what Bay Area folks consider “Going Dumb”
Too $hort says this is the first time he’s seen people crowd surf his set
Yes, girls come to this stuff! We paid these ones: Rachael Rothstein, Lorrisa May, Maddie Manson, Julia Gonsalves, and Sally V
The Effs family
Alright, now let’s get this crowd going for the ramp jam!
Trish Mendez takes a run or two before we get started
Yoda with a hurricane
Greyson Fletcher flies one more in practice
Bring in the specs! Making the Old Man proud
Tom Schaar getting boosted and making Neck lose his voice
Cody takes a back noseblunt to the left rim
And Greyson gaps up to front blunt on the bridge
Roman getting wacky over here with a fastplant
Dro puts the Texas in Texas Death Match
GT had to get a few in. Ain’t no thang but a (boneless) chicken wang
Psycho Dro brought the eggs
Time for the main event: The Texas Death Match! Last one standing gets that money
After the ramp, Alán Gonzalez, Tony V, Julia and Maddie hold down the fort ‘til the inside festivities begin
Last sets for the night, Kumo 99 gets those hands—and phones—up!
Nuovo Testamento got the curtains. That’s a wrap!
Now, everyone, get the heck out of here—safely—before we burn this place down. Thank you to all of those who showed up and showed out! This year was one to remember. Thank you, Converse CONS, Pappy + Harriets, Keen Ramps, Push and Pour Coffee and all the individuals in between
