TIME FOR A CHANGE
We've grown, but we've shrunk. I
mean we're bigger now, but smaller. I
mean we've expanded, but contracted.
What I'm trying to say is welcome to
the 'new' Thrasher Magazine. If you
haven't already seen us before you've
been missing out on the hottest
skateboard coverage around. If you
are a regular reader then you may have
already noticed our new trim size and
the 20 extra pages inside. Surprised?
You should be since we never formally
announced this new change. But
that's just part of our committment to
bringing you all the radical action,
new trends and hot photos you can
handle each month. And all this for
the same price you paid for the first
issue way back in January. That is, if
you paid for it.
TALKING ED
Thrashers' involvement in
skateboarding is unsurpassed and will
remain so as we expand our staff, add
new features, upgrade our quality and
dare I say, begin featuring full color
photos.
But, before I move too fast let me
extend thank-yous to everyone who
has written or called in, to our sub-
scribers and advertisers, and to the
people who have made this thing hap-
pen over the last year (photogs,
writers, you know who you are). Keep
in touch. Write in with your com-
pliments, comments and criticisms. If
you think the mag sucks then say so,
at least we'll know you're reading it
every month. If you don't like the way
a story is written, tell us about it.
Maybe you can do better. Or, if you
don't think your area gets enough
coverage, well, put together an article
and send it in. You probably know by
now that we will print almost anything
that has to do with skateboarding and
it's practitioners.
So let's roll together. Remember,
every skateboarder acts as a salesman
for the sport, it that's what you want
to call it, and no matter where you
skate, how you skate, or what you
skate. Thrasher will be behind you.
