Thrasher Magazine

Leo Banuelos and the crew from Cens.us Zine tackle topics as diverse as bicycle polo beef and skaters in drag – along with some conventional shredding, of course. Second place, not too shabby!

Hopefully you’ve checked out the zines, now peep the release party/award ceremony to see who won what. If print is dead then zombies rule the earth. 

Our friends at 35th North skate shop in Seattle held a zine-making contest recently – two weeks to shoot it (using only Fun Saver cameras,) and two weeks to put it together. Check out their stellar results. Now go make your own!

Hell, Thrasher started as a zine so you know we have love for all hand-made publications. Here’s a look at some zines we’ve received over the years plus an interview with our long-time zine-reviewer Wez Lundry.
