Thrasher back issues from February 2003:
Mail Drop.
Feb 01, 2003 ... JESSE RIP Last night (10.07.02) my friend Jesse Martinez was hit by a drunk driver and then died at 6:30 this morning. All I want is to ask that you put my letter in Mail Drop or tell me who can so that everyone who reads this may think about what could happen to their friends ...
Zine thing.
Feb 01, 2003 ... Ballyhoo #1 On the graff/art side comes Ballyhoo. Bizarre drawings, comics, graffiti, clip art, photos, photo manipulation, "How to Build a Potato Gun," "How to Make Moonshine," and a story/song about a guy named Crab. Useful information, brain titillation, on, and inherent ...
Upland: they don't call Upland The Badlands for nothin'.
Feb 01, 2003 ... What: A giant pipe/capsule combo and a shabby street course. Purkiss-Rose, the skatepark-building behemoth who have pretty much cornered the market on public skateparks in Southern California, continue to surprise and startle with their interpretation of what street skaters ...
Beardo.
Feb 01, 2003; Harris, Andy ... I WENT OVER TO SPAIN a few months ago. I know what you're thinking, "Just what this mag needs, another article chronicling American pros hob-nobbing around Europe, hopping on now-famous handrails and looking oh so 'shabbychic' at the hot street spots about Barcelona and Madrid." Well uhh, ...
Last Damn Am weekend.
Feb 01, 2003 ... TEXT AND PHOTOS BY SHELBY WOODS WELL, WELL, WELL. Once again I found myself at the Volcom warehouse for the Last Damn Am contest. This time they changed the course, just a little bit. Let's see, they replaced the pyramid with a 15-foot steel cage--the top of the cage protruding ...
Things to do in Texas when it's wet.
Feb 01, 2003; Burnett, Michael ... THIS ROAD TRIP SEASON I thought I'd try something new. (Instead of waiting around to get invited on a team trip. (with their video deadlines, demo duties and embarrassing in-store appearances), I took the bull by the horns and planned my own. Further, rather than venturing to some far-off ...
Justin Roy: "drive around, checking out chicks". (Heads_Roy).
Feb 01, 2003; Burnett, Michael ... What have you been doing? Skating. Just the same ol' shit. I just moved down to San Diego. Are you living with Daniel? No. He's my next-door neighbor though. Let's get some stats. I'm 20. Really? I thought you were older ...
Zered Bassett: isn't into poetry. (Heads_Bassett).
Feb 01, 2003; Rohan, Billy ... What's Triple C? Cape Code Crew, me and my boys. Little group to keep us together, you know. We always skate together and hang out together; it's tight. Who's Doctor Z? Dr Z is just one of my many personalities. I don't know how to break it down. It's ...
Diablo Valley exposed.
Feb 01, 2003; Manchild, Fu Fu ... TRAVELING DUE EAST from San Francisco through the East Bay hills via the Caldecott Tunnel deposits one in the Diablo Valley. Once here there are a plethora of spots to be killed-hubbas, gaps, ledges, and most importantly, rails. The DV has heaps of 'em-big ones, small ones, short ones, ...
Couch Tour 2005.
Feb 01, 2003; O'Dell, Patrick ... THERE IS NOTHING more lucid than a man down. The premise for this article began out of necessity. Not long after my girlfriend and I broke up, I was stuck with a Brooklyn rent I could no longer afford. After a two year stint in domestic bliss, I was to rejoin the world of skate houses with ...
New Tactics for living.
Feb 01, 2003; Pommier, Scott ... IF THIS STORY seems somehow ...under-researched, well that's because it is. Prior to going on this trip, I knew almost nothing about Korea and even after spending 10 days there I didn't really absorb all that much. I could have supplemented my experiences with some easy fact finding vis a ...
Wild in the streets.
Feb 01, 2003; Woods, Shelby ... IT WAS TWO IN THE MORNING and while most were sleeping or staggering out of the bars, I was running for my life towards a fence. All I could hear was my heart beating a mile a minute, so loud that it drowned out the barking dogs that were in hot pursuit as I raced for the fence, hoping ...
Muskabeatz.
Feb 01, 2003 ... CHILLIN' UP ON THE ROOF OF CHAD MUSKA'S crib in the Beverlywood Hills. You know, that dope spot between Hollywood and Beverly, down by the Hyatt and the Standard Hotel on Sunset. I gaze out across LA, past the beyond-huge Godzilla-size Sean John Diddy commercial on the Hyatt wall and all ...
The rye coalition.
Feb 01, 2003 ... THE FAIR STATE OF NEW JERSEY IS KNOWN FOR ITS MUSIC ... well, kinda. Other than The Boss, most folks don't know shit about the big NJ, and don't care. But with three full-length albums, a grip of singles and splits--not to mention a few million tour miles logged in the back of a decrepit ...
The Arrivals.
Feb 01, 2003 ... THE ARRIVALS ARE, IN MY ESTIMATION, THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND in America you've yet to hear. With a seven-year history of obscurity, I had not expectations beyond drinking more when these Chicagoans took the stage. The day I saw them was during a heat wave. A football player died of heat ...
In flames.
Feb 01, 2003; Buchanan, Stacy ... IN FLAMES, a true staple in Swedish metal. Hell, they helped establish a major part of Sweden's metal history with their knack for inventive and aggressive music while brandishing proudly a banner of melody. With much work ahead for the band in support of the new record, Reroute to Remain, ...
Big world.
Feb 01, 2003; O'Dell, Patrick ... DUDE, THE PACKAGE IS THE MOST EPIC DUDE EVER. I know I've said that about other people in the past, but this time I mean it. I wrote those very words about Dave Duncan in my last article, but I don't think Dave would mind be de-throned by Package. Did you ever hear about the three-way call ...
Notes.
Feb 01, 2003 ... FROM THE UNDERGROUND. A COUPLE QUICK REISSUES to get things started: The first is Electric Frankenstein's Listen Up Baby. Originally on Man's Ruin as a 10", the TKO CD has bonus tracks culled from 7's as well. It came out only five years ago, but this shit deserves a ...
Trash.
Feb 01, 2003; Bacon, Ed ... DOWN TIME THE NEW DEAL SHUT SHOP FOR THE SECOND TIME, LEAVING only empty halls and the ghosts of Ron Knigge and Nick Tancraitor to speak for the legacy. No word on RJ or Lincoln, but Aussie powerhouse Chad Bartie hooked up with Genetics, shoe-wise, with a pro model due early ...
On board.
Feb 01, 2003 ... FIRING LINE: DANNY FUENZALIDA Age: 21 Birthplace: Perth, Western Australia Colors: Green and blue Shoe size: 9.5 Breakfast: Breakfast burrito and Cinnamon Toast Crunch Beats: Anthony B. Capleton Dream spot: ...
Somethin' else.
Feb 01, 2003 ... Over under sideways down HIGH JUMPS CAME FIRST, then it was ollieing up ...
