Thrasher Weekend: Boston Photos
9/07/2023
We teamed up with CONS to bust up Boston for a Weekend with a handful of all-stars and New England icons. Zered, Alexis and Dutchy were joined by their fellow road-tested teammates Louie, Baca and Kaue. Newcomers Sean Evans, Zion Effs and younger brother Jax kept the energy up from the spots to the parks. The November issue of the mag has our favorite skate flicks, but here’s a little taste of what it’s like behind the scenes of the street skating, backyard ramp ripping and double-demo demolishing. —Dan Zaslavsky
First spot, Eggs!
Taking in the vibes and feeling things out
Someone’s already having equipment issues
BOD skates a little different
This was a very phone-heavy trip
Older Brother Zion Effs flipping outta something
Berman getting some too!
Louie up…
…and up again to BSNBS, too easy
Tried…
Rye editing on site
Next spot is also by the water
Baca bigspinning out of a noseslide
When you're shooting clips on the phone, it looks like you're doom scrolling
The spot wasn’t tough enough
What’s up here past the crazy skate stoppers?
More stuff for Baca to noselide
What next, Rye?
The spot was like this, remember?
Louie closes the first day with a steezin’ noseslide
Day two, first spots looks like a skatepark but it’s actually a waterpark—that doesn’t work very well
What'chall doing?
Oh, it’s this thing
Jax with a SOTY behind the camera phone
Pedestrians have right of way, sometimes
Louie "lipslide" Lopez
Fucking hot out here!
Still watchin'
Zered the artist
What’s this thing?
And how do you skate it?
That’s how!
Focus, Rye
Winding down at the last spot of the day
Kaue brought a box of classics
Zered with his iconic powers, switch flip
Kaue got some sick lines with Ryan Lee
Next day we found this legend, Doug Moore
This bowl has some relics in it
Raney brings the bone count up
Nailed it
Who knew Kaue got some bowl skills?!
Not posed
Milton with a classic
Who’s thanking who?
What’s this for?
Ah yes, cracks!
The process…
Upcycle your griptape
Butter smooth
Now it’s ready
Fisheye?
Or long?
Milton goes long
Tricks for smiles
Not sure what’s happening here, but I like it
Evening jam sesh at The Courts
Our guy Jerome guards the goods
Dutchy!
Berman!
Dress appropriately
Massachusetts icon Alexis Sablone made an appearance!
Goodnight!
Last day, the people showed up for an even bigger demo!
Raney's legs still worked, grasser over the hip
Gimme some!
Switch front feeble, BOD
Zered can loft the regular ones, too
Milton tosses a kickflip crook for the crowd. SOTY shit
Sean Evans skips over it with a big V heel. He's sick! Now, we gotta jam to check the music
Quick stop on the way to the concert
I think Vanik Hacobian skated this in 1997
Wonder if he ever skated this though? Raney, front board transfer
Showtime
First up, Waste Man
Uniform is next
It ain't a pit if Rye ain't in it
And finally, Candy shut it down
After an insane couple days, we had one last hurrah, Chinese food. Thanks again to CONS and everyone who showed up to the demos and the shows. We'll see you soon
