Thrasher is not just a brand, it is a statement. Founded in 1981 by entrepreneurs Eric Swenson and Fausto Vitello, Thrasher began as a venture to promote the duo’s skateboarding hardware company, Independent Trucks.  The magazine is not limited just to the subject of skateboarding, it publishes articles about photography, features interviews with professional skateboarders and bands, has skate park reviews, and other oddities.Earning the nickname “The Bible” among skaters, its success makes it the longest running and most popular magazine in the community. Today, Thrasher is bigger and better than ever. It keeps defining the constant evolution and the adventurous spirit of its readers. Supporting events, contributing to charities, and organizing contests, Thrasher is here to stay!
