The man in black floats a backside ollie down in Australia. Alan was on Puma's skateboard program before switching to Vans. He might have ridden for Vans previously, too. I like how they used a close up of the graffiti to fill up the ad.
I enjoy Thrasher's This Old Ledge series with Ted Barrow. It's nice to get some architectural history to go with the famous skate spots. I also decided I'm not reading Thrasher until the calendar month matches up with the month on the spine. I'm tired of the rush. You get all this hype about the new cover and then a week later the next issue is already being teased on the internet.
