Thrasher Magazine

Vans rolled out the red carpet to celebrate Elijah Berle’s hotly-anticipated signature shoe – we’re talking skate jams, party busses, baller-ass spreads and the hip-hop stylings of Soulja Boy. Burnout could barely keep up. Congrats, Eli!

Any good ramp session will heat up. But this one turns into a damn feeding frenzy! There’s a whole mess of sick clips amid this chaos.

The bands were rocking, the pit electric and the ramp action just kept detonating. We brought the Death Match to NYC and NYC brought the high-octane energy. Until next time...

The two-day tornado of rock, rap and radical known as the Thrasher Death Match whipped into the Big Apple recently with brain-scrambling maneuvers sharing space with hellacious pits – plus all the ferocity that names like Omar Hassan, The Gza, Kader Sylla, Gorilla Biscuits, Roman Pabich, Roc Marciano and Pedro Delfino conjure up. A Bill Thomas photo show offered a glimpse into NY skateboarding’s golden age and the whole thing was free! Where were you???

After a big night it’s time to either sweat out the poison or try to soak it up. Alltimers attempted both with a donut-fueled skate jam at Fat Kid the morning after the Death Match. Burnout prefers chocolate old fashioneds!

After a heavy few days in NYC, you’d expect Sunday morning to be fairly chill. However, the level of skating remained sky high at Fat Kid park in BK. Cheers to everyone who rolled out.

We teamed up with New York City’s own Tyshawn Jones for a jam-style contest in Brooklyn. One man’s trash can is another man’s skate spot.

The OJ's crew is thick, with enough styles and approaches to please even the saltiest skater haters. If you can’t find some joy in this Elite vid then you’re probably a closet scooterer.

In honor of Mark G and the historic Y-Ramp contest of yesteryear, we teamed up with adidas to bring the contest back to the beach. The channel claimed a few bodies, Pabich took home the top spot, and the G-Man brought down the house.
