Eric StenmanGUEST
So there's a couple stages to that.
Eric StenmanGUEST
Me actually thinking I could be a part of music started because of Thrasher magazine, probably because of seeing ads and a few little articles on mainly punk bands in the back of Thrasher magazine.
Eric StenmanGUEST
I was a skater kid, started being drawn to the wider skate culture, which included punk, right? Yeah.
Eric StenmanGUEST
Um, started getting fascinated with that, then made a friend who was a few years older, kind of the typical story, the friend with a car and knows a little bit more about music than you do have some bigger record collection.
Corey MonteroGUEST
Yeah.
Corey MonteroGUEST
King of the Lou was, um, a rip-off of King of the Road, and it's like Thrasher Magazine did one every year with pro skate teams where they would, like, essentially sponsor them for a week and have them drive all over the country and do challenges in different cities, like skateboarding challenges.
Corey MonteroGUEST
But then there was, like, a whole bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.
Corey MonteroGUEST
So we were like, "We should do one for St. Louis," and then it kinda blew up.
Chris CotéHOST
It's gonna be great.
Chris CotéHOST
Tom Schaar, Thrasher Deathmatch.
Todd RichardsHOST
[laughs]
Chris CotéHOST
Bro.
Todd RichardsHOST
Yeah.
Todd RichardsHOST
It-
Chris CotéHOST
Thrasher Deathmatch is always so entertaining
Todd RichardsHOST
...
Jeff HarmatzHOST
It was a happening over there.
Jeff HarmatzHOST
It was the Thrasher Magazine skateboard event that they do once a year.
Jeff HarmatzHOST
At the same time as the concert? The concert was part of the Thrasher magazine.
Cody JosephHOST
Oh, and you just didn't realize that the concert was part of a larger event.
Cody JosephHOST
It was a huge event.
Ken RichardsonGUEST
And, uh, you know, looking at magazines and, and all that stuff brought me into this whole world of, like, you know, taking pictures, taking a picture of my friend skating.
Ken RichardsonGUEST
You know, looking at art in magazines, like Thrasher Magazine would have, like, bands and art and skateboarding and, um, that was really my inspiration for, you know, taking pictures and doing that sort of thing.
Alex GagneHOST
What was the skate scene in Hopkinton when you started getting into skating back then?
Ken RichardsonGUEST
I think I was it.
Dan DennisHOST
Transworld.
Dan DennisHOST
Thrasher.
Dan DennisHOST
Skateboarding.
Dan DennisHOST
Because it was designed to be a fun kind of like, get a cool magazine and then get a great sandwich.
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
My, my interest in all this shit just deepened.
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
Uh, also military school is when I got into skateboarding, and Thrasher Magazine was a good source of information.
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
The Pus Zone particularly was a place I could hear ab- about...
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
And I, I, I, I have all these very specific memories.
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
I remember reading about D. Boon's death, um, while at military school in Thrasher, and, um, that seeming very, uh, sad.
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
'Cause by that point I'd been...
Jeffrey Joe JensenGUEST
I'd heard of, heard the Minutemen and just, just a whole cavalcade of music.
Tony HawkGUEST
And so she saw it as a positive.
Tony HawkGUEST
That is what kept me afloat or at least motivated even through success, 'cause there's a mindset, especially in skateboarding, where you wanna make it, right? You wanna b- you wanna get on the cover of Thrasher, or you wanna, you wanna have a good video part, or you wanna win a contest, and if you get to that goal, you might lose your incentives.
Tony HawkGUEST
I didn't care so much about those accolades.
Tony HawkGUEST
I cared about learning new tricks.
49 MINS LATER
Tony HawkGUEST
I learned to shift that priority through later years, um, I mean, in all kinds of ways.
Tony HawkGUEST
Mostly to, to spend time with my family, but, but also to find time to skate in a meaningful way, not just for a video.
Sam ParrHOST
Hey, I wanna ask you about internet culture, because I grew up watching, like, 411 videos, and, like, basically, Sean, like, before the internet, like, s- there was magazines like Thrasher, and then there was Transworld.
Sam ParrHOST
And they would put out...
Ashley RehfeldHOST
Well, and it's not just any nose pick, it's her cover.
Ashley RehfeldHOST
It's like the Thrasher-
Alex WhiteHOST
The cover
Ashley RehfeldHOST
... cover of Nora.
Ashley RehfeldHOST
I, I have not seen any of it.
Ashley RehfeldHOST
I knew there was footage, and so that was like one of my favorite parts is finally seeing the process behind the cover, because that was such a big moment for Nora, and it was such a huge moment for women's skateboarding.
Ashley RehfeldHOST
There is such a small percentage of women on the cover of Thrasher for how long that publication has been out, so any time a woman's on the cover, it's a big deal to see the whole behind the scenes of it, and then it ends in her hands just being covered in blood and like really putting in the work for that moment I really appreciated kind of seeing the context to the whole thing there
Alex WhiteHOST
Yeah.
Paul DunnGUEST
Yeah.
Paul DunnGUEST
So the Thrasher magazine set kind of said, because they're San Francisco-based, they're like, this is our scene, and they had talent, too.
Paul DunnGUEST
So it was kind of like print wars.
Paul DunnGUEST
Yeah, a little competition.
Paul DunnGUEST
And they all had their own group of people.
Colin JonesHOST
Right.
Colin JonesHOST
Thrasher's out of the Bay Area.
Colin JonesHOST
