Thrasher Joslin SOTY July 2026 Cover
« on: May 15, 2026, 10:44:46 AM »
Is it just me or is this the grossest looking cover in a long time? Looks like a high schooler made this in MS Paint or something. Am I tripping or is Manny Santiago on there twice?

Isn't a really tacky, fucked up collage with multiple Manny Santiago pics, done by a meth head kind of Joslin's whole vibe?

Looks like how they design the inside article title pages slapped on the cover. All for mixing it up but there's a reason they usually don't do this.

What are the odds that Sheckler and Joslin thought PR was a foreign country?

why have a sleep paralysis demon when you can wake up in a feverish cold shiver, check under your pillow, and have this cover remind you that reality is even more yolked?

They've had quite the run of good covers over the past few years, kind of nice to get a reminder of how bad they could be

I dunno, after they took off all the captions and committed to very serious banger-only covers the last couple years, kind of fun to have a stupid one. Definitely fits the vibe.

Only problem I see, is there seems to be more Red Bull logos, than Rockstar logos. That Rockstar bag gonna be a bit lighter
Is it true?  Or did you read it on the slap message board?

My bad. I was in shock. Multiple Manny Santiagos/Joslins, multiple energy drink logos, multiple shirtless dudes with coconuts/pineapples, goatee guy giving me the finger with half his skateboard missing…it’s a lot to take in.

Don’t forget the multiple Lazers Crawford (it’s pluralized like attorneys general)

I wonder if the Red Bull guys get paid the same amount of money for just being on the cover with a hat despite not being the person landing the trick.

That cover is rough.
I wish there was another major skate magazine.
Thrasher’s quality would likely benefit from a little healthy competition.
Their Highlander status has fucked them up.

Antwuan’s cover was beautiful aesthetically and emotionally.

This one makes me want to puke.

There is none.  Thrasher puts people on the trip they want to be on the trip

I would agree the cover is gross, however I think it's kind of appropriate in it's trendy/trashy vibe for the subject matter, also eyecatching and probably not a bad marketing move.
