Los Angeles, High Speed Productions, 1981-1991. £10,000.00 Very good, mostly approaching near fine condition - although some of the early issues have minor and endemic nicks and bumps. Still going strong in 2026, 'Thrasher' is a historic, San Francisco based skate-zine which was launched during or just after, a historically low point in skateboarding's history and that was funded by skateboard designer Eric Swenson and businessman Fausto Vitello the two partners in the San Francisco based Independent Truck Company. This is a very desirable group of issues that is verging on the unique as a run on the market of the complete first ten years and so making up the first decade of the best post 1970s non-Xerox skateboard magazine. The run is very rare as there are no complete ones on WorldCat with two listings showing 356 and 275 overlapping and or duplicated institutional citations for post - 1984 holdings. However, OCLC 10357605, covering 1981-1983 only, is held by just 20 libraries worldwide and within that there are actual smaller holdings such as the Gregory T. Scotten Library at Martha's Vineyard Regional High School which retains the last six months only. Some public libraries then, by necessity, haven't committed to retain them beyond their being read to bits in the open reference areas. A large percentage of the post-1984 places probably only have electronic versions or digital subscriptions for more recent issues from this century. Significantly, there are no copies listed on the auction results database Rarebookhub as the rare book trade has almost ignored skating. Perhaps this scarcity in the trade demonstrates a bibliographical contempt for, or, an indifference to skate culture as a mere, childish 'fad' and therefore irrelevant for most of its history. Comparably, there are similar big gaps in the record of actual children's and infants books. So, the collecting was largely left to the skaters themselves who are probably still hanging on to the magazines and have read them into destruction. Skate-culture has been a 'fad' for around six decades now, one that now has co-educational skateboarding making appearances as a 'discretionary's sport at the last two Olympiads. Notably, it will be a 'mandatory' sport in the 2028 Summer Olympics hosted by Los Angeles which is of course in California - the primordial 'Skate State'. The skateboarders themselves of course are gathering up their own print culture and distributing it amongst their tribe for posterity - regardless of its Olympic standing, the rare book trade or holdings in institutional libraries. The pure skateboarding content within is a mixture of reports on skate venues, competitions and the 'eye candy' of 'great air' made by great skaters who were literally inventing skating day by day. Subjects include, pioneering skaters such as Carabeth Burnside, pipe master Chris Miller, legend Tony Hawks, Kevin Staab, Chris Strople the 'vert' god who were featured with photos documenting them by the teenage Glen E. Friedman, Richard 'Mofo' Noll, J. Grant Brittain, Bruce Kanights and others. There is so much important material from the streets and bowls of California and beyond as Thrasher cleansed the scene of hippie surf culture and went in lockstep with hardcore punk. The slam dancer's scabbed elbows and knees were equalled by the street skater's wounds from grinding hand rails, falling off boards and trying to get 'air'. …
