Thrasher: Maxium Rad

Riizoli New York is publishing a book containing every cover from the first 30 years of Thrasher Magazine called Maximum Rad: The Iconic Covers of Thrasher Magazine, with an introduction written by Craig Stecyk. There are 250 pages of covers, some full page, some are quarter page. It’s being released on February 21st, and Skate and Annoy has a copy for one lucky S&A reader. Just leave a comment in the post, deadline is February 21st at midnight. Don’t bother trying to butter up the editor, it’s random.

  3. Cool…wonder if B&N will make a version for the Nook.

  4. “Maximum Rad” sounds like an obscure skateboard candy from Germany that would normally be posted on this website.
