All of Thrasher's staff photographers are the blandest in the business.

I still think the worst cover was Dane Burman's 50-50 in Philly. The number 1 gnarliest thing about that trick was the gigantic drop off the end, but Burnett shot it from above so you couldn't see the height of the drop at all. Some dude took a way better phone photo from the bottom. It just doesn't make any sense.

There's a lot of younger photographers killing the game in California but they can't get a look because the old boys club runs the show. Glad they gave Spitzer the last cover at least...

Transworld’s been using them.   They’ve always had great photos.  Not sure why they’ve been getting hate on here recently.

Ive had subscriptions to both for years and Thrasher is straight up trash. The writing is boring, the photos are bad and no way i would want to re-read any of them. Thrasher seems to cover a side of skateboarding that has very little appeal to me and its rare they have an article i want to read, and even when they do run an article that i might like its always super bland and disappointing.
 In the last few years TWS lost alot of content and now it just feels pretty weak and thin. dont really like the new big format they run with the matte paper but its way better than the small matte version they ran before that with the nasty feeling paper.
TWS always have better photos than Thrasher but euro mags like Solo, Free, Vague and North blow them out of the water with better content, photos, creative pieces and overall feel and vibe. I miss Kingpin.

Free is straight up the best magazine out there these days. The articles, the covers, the photos even the layout is all incredible.

There’s a ton of great mags out there. Look no further than here: https://theories-of-atlantis.myshopify.com/collections/mags

Definitely agree with the sentiment that Thrasher covers are all about the “big spots”. Is there anyone else that finds Phelps insufferable? The man bases his SOTY decision off whoever does the biggest handrail.

Phelps needs to get stronger eyeglass cylinders,this cover is terrible!

I find this opinion of Phelps more annoying than Phelps

Strongly agree, how about the recent Foy cover. He does one of the sickest tricks ever and the photo angle and cropping makes it look like a frontside 5050.

yeah I wasn't a fan of that one either - I don't know shit about photography but kinda seems like an amateur move to shoot a fs crook from that angle

i wonder how much shake junt money you get to be worth having it on your grip on a cover

[MintySandwhich]

I would have liked this more

[Owen]

That is so much better than the actual cover

[eastenders]

saying this is a fakie 50-50 triggers me so hard.

From the way Arubas face looked from the footage made me think he wasn't expecting a first try roll away. Regardless of that I doubt he was planning on framing it any other way which, like you said is a mind blowing amateur move.

[bongboarder420]

Burnett shot this one and blew it

[billyerlife]

I think a common factor to all these shots is that they are fucking monumental, and anyone who has ever tried to take a picture of a full moon or a mountain range will tell you it never turns out as cool as it looked in real life.

Anyone see the Nyjah cover in real life yet? Wondering how much the low res instagrab was a factor in its ambiguity.

[Bubblegum Tate]

[Enrico Pallazzo]

Here's hoping he doubles down and it's 18 pages of talking about why skateboarding is still not for girls.

[Szechuan]

Eh shoulda known.

[DM]

Is this the same trick/spot different angle? If so, it's a fakie 5050

[doublesteveburger]

The interview was on par with how terrible that photo is, I promise.

[Sick Duck]

At least he's wearing pants

[ungzilla]

the single guaranteed positive thing you can say about any clip wherein Nyjah is wearing pants

[Szechuan]

#getbuck indeed.

I like Phelps but it seems like you’re right. The big handrail killers are rarely my favorite.

Would be nice to seem Thrasher switch it up and give to someone like... well... Tiago

[MTLDIPSET]

Thrasher really made a statement this year by not giving the greatest ledge skater of all time the SOTY nod. It’s been the same type of skater skating the same stuff forever, they could at least aknowledge us* for one fucking year. Nope, Same old shit made me realize my soty pick will never, ever be the one.
