Cover model.
The latest issue of Thrasher is all about the 40th anniversary of the mag. It's pretty cool and they explore some of the more behind the scenes history. There's an interesting interview with Kevin Thatcher, the former editor. He discusses the printing process and graphic design, which I thought was a neat read. There's an article on the best covers. I was surprised to learn that Figgy has been on the front six times. It turns out he has.
1. May 2010 - Backside Smith grind on a handrail.
2. June 2011 - Switch backside 50-50 on a handrail.

The September 2015 cover was for the Lakai and Emerica Stay Flared tour. They did two versions. The other was a Raven Tershy over vert backside tail at FDR.
