My type of history

This is just plain awesome.The first 12 issues of Thrasher in their entirety. Including all the adverts. I remember reading Thrasher before I started working in a skate board store. I remember reading Thrasher when I was working in bicycle stores. Back then you either read Thrasher or Transworld Skateboarding. Just like you either read BMX Action or BMX Plus. Thrasher covered more in the way of skate related culture. Great record, show and band reviews. At least that's how it seemed to me at the age of 16. This was pre internet, so magazines were the only real way to find out what was going on on the other side of the country. There were only a handful of skate videos out at the time so you looked at stills and sequences to try and figure out how a new trick was done. It was good stuff back then. I still have a fondness for magazines in general though it has been many years since I picked up a copy of Thrasher. I do have a 1989 NYC issue with Jeremy Henderson on a Shut floating around my archives. (archives my ass, what I have is a pile of rubble strewn about my apartment)
