Thrasher Magazine

Foundation has done it once again. They made another full-length video to add to their library. In an age of overly-produced video shorts, the F troop kept it true to the core and stuck with the tried-and-true formula with a half-hour video of straight hammers. No gimbals, drones or helicopters, just good ol' follow filming on a cruiser board. Sure, it’s filmed in HD but the production screams lo-fi at its finest, right down to the punk-rock soundtrack. Exactly what you expect from Foundation: skateboarding at it’s best, pure and simple. —Joe Hammeke

The line outside The Observatory Orange County was huge!

Blake Carpenter signing his Thrasher cover for a fan

Nick Merlino, nervous anticipation

Now time for Oddity

The crowd was on their feet the entire showing

Duffman, two thumbs up!

Corey Glick’s part nailed it in case you didn’t already know from that interview in the March issue of the mag

Speaking of Duffel, Kevin from the Lookback Library was there with a bag of classic mags featuring Foundation team riders. Covers, baby

Thrasher lensmen Dan Stolling, Ewan Bowman and Rhino. Can you tell who looks through the viewfinder?

Between showings, Travesura was playing inside on stage

They always get the crowd dancing

Really dancing

Fans snappin' selfies with Cole Wilson

Don Luong, behind the lens, always

Hammer crew: Nick Merlino, Don Luong and Cole Wilson

David Loy and Corey Duffel, lots of wrist surgeries between these two

Oh, Ladies First

Erica Yary and crew will back that

Most of the Foundation team in one place. Cole Wilson and Duffel were nowhere to be found. Duffel said he hasn’t been in a team photo in five years, so I guess this is nothing new

Then Ryan Spencer went berzerk

You okay, buddy?

Dakota didn’t get off so easy and was taken outside

That’s all and good night. Amazing job by Don and the boys. Full parts dropping on thrashermagazine.com starting Feb 13th!
