Thrasher Magazine

Friends and family gathered at the Pink Motel Saturday Jan. 15th, 2022 to share memories of our beloved Joe Hammeke.

From the early days of Burnside to 2019’s Rip Ride Rally, this film explores the friendship, struggle, triumph and tragedy of DIY pioneers Mark Scott and Mark Hubbard –– true iconoclasts hellbent on building the skateparks of their dreams. Watch this with your friends.

The Sellerdoor talks Schmitt with our resident pod god about the birth of the Thrasher site, his 100th episode and lessons from his years at the Bible.

Gerwer and Schmitty get Carroll to set the record straight on Kelch kicking T-Dogs out of EMB, spider bites on the road, club tracks and Phelper stories. Nerd out with one of the greats.

Appleyard talks about his killer new part, Phelps grabbing the mic at his SOTY party, eating cigarettes and the nostalgic scent of piss at Hubba. Up your playlist game with one of the best to ever do it. 

Bob hops into the hot seat to reminisce on early Hell Rides, taking a run after Jake Brown’s horrific slam and his Megaramp’s greatest hits. Listen up to some sound advice from one of the GOATS. 

Bringing one of the heaviest playlists to date, Sam stops by the Plant to swap Jake, Monk and P-Stone stories with the guys. Wanna know the best way to sleep in the van? Listen up.  

Right before the debut of Dre’s first full part, the guys got the lowdown on fashion offers from the 'Gram, keeping it real with stunt coordinators and starting Maxallure with Karl Watson. At only 18, he’s come a long way since he was just a Potrero park baby getting yelled at by Jake to do his tricks right. Luckily, plenty of it sank in.

It’s been a year but the love keeps flowing. We’ve added new testimonials to this retrospective page. Take a few moments and soak up more stories from the life and times of Jake Phelps.
