Skate and Destroy: The First 25 Years of Thrasher Magazine, Edited by Jake Phelps


In January of 1981, a bunch of San Francisco skaters published the first issue of Thrasher Magazine. Today Thrasher is better than ever, having chronicled the evolution of skating from its roots, to the thriving sport it is today. Skate and Destroy covers the first 25 years of Thrasher’s history reprinting some of the best original columns, interviews and pictures. Also inside are previously unprinted photos, rejected covers, and other great material never seen before. Awesome photos show the greats like Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist, and Tony Alva at their best, as well as forgotten heroes of the sport. This is one of the definitive histories of skateboarding. Don’t leave the library without it!
