Thrasher Apr 2015

This issue is a full-throttle collision of power skating and surgical precision, with Anthony Van Engelen on the cover smashing over-the-back to switch 5-0 in New York, all muscle and momentum barely held together by nerve. Inside, Shane O’Neill delivers machine-level control and crowd-killing consistency, while AVE reflects on skating with zero safety net, taking whatever the terrain throws back at him. Deathwish keeps the emotional damage high and the commitment higher, Krooked in Korea exports crooked chaos overseas, and Day of the Shred spirals into all-night sign-hunting madness. Cyril Jackson teases resurrection energy, Ex-Cult keeps things crusty and feral, and Riff Raff floats off into strange skyless mythology. The whole issue hums with sweat, impact, raw street energy, and that familiar Thrasher electricity where legends grind forward, bodies pay the toll, and the only real currency is going faster and harder than last time.
