Mike Wright apreeeesh Somehow I had never seen this footage of Mike, which looks like it was filmed over a couple of sessions at the works and I was so staggered I had to start a new thread. Obvs it’s not news to say he was/is one of the most transcendentally gifted skaters ever, but just to see what one of his random sessions was like, just beggars belief. A true savant. Big up Mike. Feel free to post up any other gems.

Skaters are grifters poll Are skateboarders grifters? A grifter is someone who engages in swindling or trying to make a fast buck. Mike Mo’s NFTs, Nine Club memberships, Mikey Taylor investments, Supreme scarcities, Blind jeans, Mob grip, Cariuma, energy drinks, perhaps even the notion that skateboarding as a profession… I’m not throwing it all under the bus but I get the impression a lot of the culture is based around snake oil salesmen and this passes over to very dubious business plans. It feels like some skat...

The Self-Filming Thread Anon suggested a Ryan Lay thread, but I thought it might be interesting (or not) to broaden it out slightly to reflect the new(ish) style of skate video that his videos are part of. I feel like pre-Covid self-filming was frowned upon and seen as a bit kooky. The preserve of skate vloggers and their tripods. Now, in contrast, it seems lots of legit and respected pros will film themselves for quick social media clips. See Nick Boserio, Bobby Puleo, even AVE’s at it. However, a few have turned th...

Fraser is 50 ! Skate Jams and Party at Lost Art.8 OK , So i turn 50 on the 15th of February. Its all been a bit hit and miss. Plan is to skate at 4 motion Darlington on Saturday 21st of Feb as a skate jam with my friends company doing stuff. Should be fun. Then the real killer is to hopefully do a daytime skate in Liverpool and then a party at Lost Art from 8 til 12 or somnthing. That one is on the 7th of March anyone want to come and stay my flat is open and will be eternally grateful that is on 7th March when we are both actually 50. Will...

Is skateboarding at its zenith? Is it thanks to ledge curation? I used to think hard goods and construction techniques were the reasons behind the excelling of the physical act of skateboarding but board construction and shoe designs don’t appear to have made massive changes for several years now. However, watching modern skate videos I do feel the methods employed to render ledges skateable has had a strong effect on the tricks we see done. Spots are unlocked snd skaters have the time to set up or shift about, far more than in previous decades. Maybe I’m ...

Trom One of the Irish homies I met and spent some very memorable times with in BCN - Roy O’Halloran has made this sick scene video. Absolute bonafide legend if you ever come across him. Shreds as well as a fine lensman. 100% thread worthy. Not sure if this has been posted in the footage thread.

Wrap that Shizzle ! Was meant to go skate today but the Wirral peninsula is wet from overnight rain couldn’t see an 'of the year ’ thread , bit late but thought why not.

Comps. Max posted this in the Penny topic. Comp reports in the “mag” were always something to look forward to. They either made you want to have been there, relive it, or kick you up the arse to get to the next one. The only modern equivalent is Voltarol. But obviously there’s not a singular large monthly entity to cover it like in the old days. So what happened? Did comps become wack when people started taking them seriously like some kind of career path? Is it the internet breaking everything as...

Friday stupidity. Ruin a name with 1 letter. Add, remove or switch 1 letter from a skateboard related person, location or thing to completely ruin it. eg Lube Ogden Fart Godoy Boob Burnquist Clit Peterson Gory Rogers Colon McKay etc etc You get the idea.

Justin Parker RIP Hey guys, Much like Tom KP, I can’t summarise how much Justin meant to everyone in Oxford and around the U.K. if you ever had the pleasure to meet him or watch the “skate ninja” in action. If anyone has a few spare pennies it would be appreciated. The funeral is on the 29th in Oxford, if you want to attend please DM me so I can give you the details etc. This has been a very hard few days for all involved. Fly high brother

UK SOTY 2025, nominations As Thrasher trudges through its SOTY schedule, perhaps its time we turn our attention to who has been killing it within the geographic bounds of the United Kingdom (plus Ireland) this year. As per usual, nominate up to 3 skaters each (I will take only your first 3 suggestions), and I’ll put the suggested names into a poll in a week’s time. Then we can vote for da winner! See if you can use your brains to sift through the detritus of the attention economy in order to recall any skating that happ...

Slappy kerb intel Slappy kerb owners, I need your input: We have a 2-part (so maybe 3m long in total) kerb (by crazyroadwalls) and the new floor of the indoor is tarmac. The kerbs are slipping around a little. Anyone have any advice on what we could stick to the bottom of the kerbs to stop them moving? We don’t want to fix them into the floor permanently. And bear in mind when we skate there it can get to like -10c so soft rubber actually becomes hard rubber. Any help or proven suggestions appreciated!
