In January of 1981, a group of skateboarders in San Francisco put together the first issue of Thrasher magazine. 25 years later, Thrasher is bigger than ever; its name is synonymous with both skateboarding's roots and constant evolution. International corporate bigwigs try to buy into Thrasher's credibility, while kids tattoo the magazine's mantra, Skate and Destroy, into their skin.
'Skate and Destroy' is more than just a 288 page retrospective of Thrasher's first quarter century. The magazine's staff, past and present, left no file cabinet or ramp unturned in seeking out the lost photos, the covers that never were, outtakes from interviews that defined the mag, never-been-told stories of secret skate missions, and accounts from skateboarding's top pros of what Thrasher has meant to them. This excellent volume is packed with phenomenal photos, interviews, and articles from skateboarding's leaders: Tony Hawk, Bucky Lasek, Steve Caballero, Rodney Mullen, and Chad Muska, to name a few.
