SF Chronicle: "Thrasher: skateboard culture’s hot spot on Sixth Street"

[tkp]

More motivation to go checkout the store. A skate spot on Minna would be sweet.

Thrasher customers are DEFINETLY into CBD Coffee

[GAY]

I heard that you can find that dude Air Yeezy there sometimes just chilling and vaping and tightening trucks.

"The point of the store, Vitello said, is to tell the under-appreciated story of skateboarding in San Francisco."

LOL
The big heads in the sf skate scene are starting to become so utterly pretentious. That South Park episode where people from sf smell their own farts reigns truer each passing day.

Phelps mentally challenged ass still thinks thrasher is the corest thing in skating while utterly ruining it.

I remember when he almost got fired about 10 years ago. Too bad he held on to his job.

SF skateboarding is at an appropriate level of appreciation at the moment.

I'd love to see how much money Thrasher has made peddling their cheap ass t-shirts. I bet it's staggering.

[Binomial Nomenclature]

you don't make money selling magazines

I didn't insinuate that they did. I just said I was curious how much money they have made selling their cheap t-shirts.

I think the conspiracy theory (at least the one I heard) was that Burnett saw some value in having Phelps be the face, so he (Burnett) could just run things behind the scenes. Burnett's move to set himself up for big things after skateboarding, like Spike and Tremaine, etc.

It has been forever since this happened, but I thought Phelps said something he shouldn't have said to someone he shouldn't have said it to? I think this all went down around the time that Rowley punched Phelps.

But, I honestly, have no clue at this point. I just remember one day everyone was like, "Phelps is getting fired because [of something]."

[Just Giver]

If Jake Phelps can be the chief editor for a skateboard publication despite the fact that he is borderline illiterate and can’t pop his board then anything is possible.

Tosh.O really had Dyrdek dialed right there. I'd forgotten it wasn't him too.

[TheLurper]

If you haven't seen the skit it is pretty damn amazing.

Didn’t he shoot some kid with a BB gun at a demo and there was a mini uproar about that?

I think Thrasher makes most of its money as a website for video content where it just slaps its watermark on other companies products.   Annoying, but on the other hand, Atlantic Drift was Vitello’s idea, so at least they’re inspiring/commissioning good stuff

5 days of hate. Phelps was gonna talk shit on a different black listed skater each day for a week. the first episode was about Frank Hirata and how he designed shitty parks, and his girlfriend designed an add or something for the mag that Jake wiped his ass with. Jake was shut down after the first episode and made a vid saying he was fired, and then a day later made another vid saying hes not fired anymore but cant do things that slanderize people. It was the first time i realized that Thrasher cant actually do and say whatever they want.

[heckler]

Wait... I actually remember this now. Was that 2008ish? Is that floating around on the boards, at all?
