Thrasher Nov 2020

This November 2020 issue of Thrasher leans into tension and unpredictability, reflecting a world where skating continues under pressure, confrontation, and constant interruption. Departments like Epic Spots, My War, and On Board capture encounters with security, police, and sketchy terrain, while Lunatic Fringe and Abnormal Communication keep the tone erratic and darkly humorous. There’s a sense that nothing comes easy here, every session feels earned, and every spot carries consequences.

The features double down on that intensity, with Dane Burman’s no-compromise approach setting the pace, backed by raw street perspectives from John Dilo, John Shanahan, and the On Glue crew. Through the Eyes of Rhino adds a reflective layer, looking back on decades of documenting chaos, while music features like Wailing Souls and Young Guv widen the cultural lens. Anchored by Shanahan’s aggressive cover line and Burman’s relentless skating in the contents, the issue captures a moment where risk, resistance, and commitment define everything.
