Did for a few years up to last year, but it's too low effort. They should employ some dudes who give a shit or something, i'd love a magazine that had good articles and interviews.

When gonz wrote short stories and the free shirt was shitty Hanes you wear once; I was all in. I buy an issue if I run into one, it's not the same anymore. My prescription was 13.95 then haha. I'd suggest to collect back issues and really dig in. Shit that magazine got me through high school.

Not anymore. By the time I receive my issue, two more have already come out. I hate walking into a store, seeing the new issue, and knowing I have to wait a month before mine arrives. That’s what pisses me off—I’m a subscriber, and everyone else gets theirs, but I have to wait. A subscriber should get it before the bookstore. I don’t have a skate shop around; if I did, I’d just get it from there when they dropped.

How strange. Im from Australia and usually they send me a month in advance, I got june in the mail already.

No, I never have. I prefer to get them in my local store

HaveFunSkateboarding · « **Reply #38 on:** May 21, 2024, 07:32:58 AM »

I still do. Last year when I re-subbed it doubled in price and no free shirt and I almost didn’t but said fuck it and still did. Then this year (few months ago) I re-subbed and got a shirt. It was a nicer one too, navy blue with the flame logo.

I enjoy print mags still and I enjoy getting things in the mail. I subbed to Closer for the first year and I did enjoy it but it’s not worth $80 to me.

Whenever I read anything burnett writes, I can hear his nasal, timid, poser voice.

Please skate gods, give the reigns to forest edwards or andy roy... like someone that actually knows what riding a skateboard feels like, instead of this dork photographer.

Subscribed for a couple of years (initially for the free shirt lol) never renewed after moving. I have enough issues for bathroom break perusal.

Off and on between 2002-2010, then been subscribing since 2016. The free shirt is a nice bonus. The first few years, the shirt was the same white shirt with the Thrasher font in black across the chest. The last few shirts have been better quality, different colors, and cooler logos/designs. I still enjoy print media. There's a few mags sitting at my desk at work for reading during breaks. Shoutout to Notes From The Underground and Zine Thing.

I miss The Skateboard Mag.

I think when it was first out I was (or rather my parents were) paying >£4 per issue in skateshops/newsagents and it felt so worth it. Obviously.

I’m sure he’s good at the mechanical running of the business, which is why he was there but any time he writes it sucks the air off the page. He’s no fuckin writer and you can tell he does it for ego and to pay himself / save bucks. Employ Cole Nowicki from simple magic. Easily the best skate writer going atm.

2004/2005 The Skateboard Mag was prime 👌🏻

Xen doesn’t have a thrasher sub. He’s too busy swapping a 0.5 mil washer for a 0.75 washer on his royals to make them feel like stock thunders. (This is a joke, ily xen)

I've not sub'd to Thrasher (or any mag) in forever; ages ago I sold all my physical media (books, DVDs/CD, mag collections) and went pure digital.

You know where to buy .5 washers? Getting Royals to not turn so creamy so they are closer to thunders twitch is impossible.

I wish there was a supermarket tabloid version of thrasher - the cover could be collages with like Jamie Foy photoshopped to be 600 pounds and a photoshop of jerry hsu screaming in gifted haters ear “I WILL DESTROY YOU”

Thrasher is great but i miss Transworld skateboarding printed mag. First one i ever got was from my local food lion and had Koston on the front cover doing that massive back noseslide that was in Yeah Right with the red shirt on in the K3s. I remember the mag was so fucking thick was like a dictionary. Wish i still had that issue.

Yes, been subscribed for years.
As a child in the 90’s, I had Thrasher, TWS, Slap and Big Brother getting delivered monthly. In the 00’s, it was Thrasher, TWS, Skateboard Mag and Skateboarder.
I actually renewed my subscription to TWS right before they folded and I’m still getting Forbes and Mens Health magazines as a makeup.
