Last Thursday we were on our way to the LAB in Costa Mesa to celebrate Thrasher 30 years of Art and Photography. Thrasher was the first real Skateboarding magazine I got in my hands back in 1989 and walking into this room filled with some of the most iconic pictures in Skateboarding history was overwhelming. I was literally sorrounded by the progression of Skateboarding from Tony Alva to Leo Romero; Moments forever captured by some of the best photographers like Luke Ogden, Bryce kanights and Mörizen Föche.
After getting one of the big posters and walking around the room for like an hour we went outside to get some prints. Gunther got a 10 piece print set from Lance Mountain and I got an amazing Dragon print from the CAB himself, he told me that Stacy Peralta’s documentary about the Bones Brigade is coming out soon, Stacy is a great filmmaker and we can’t wait to see it. After the show we went to the party thing in the back of the LAB but thats another story. It was a fun night and a very inspiring one, here are some pics of the show.
