founders fausto vitello and eric swenson originally started the company as a way to promote their skateboard truck company independent. the way the magazine is put together it is perfectly crafted for skateboarders. that was in part down to the ex editor in chief jake phelps who had very much seen and done it all. sadly phelps passed away in 2019 and has played a huge role in the magazines identity from very early on. since 1990 thrasher has annually awarded their top pick with the title skater of the year.
