Skate: A arte da resistência

Renown sportscaster Rupert Safkin has discovered a new sensation that is sweeping the nation: The sport of Skateboarding! Displaying peculiar prowess at this wild new craze, Mr Safkin rolls us through the hot moves of this groove he has come to admire. Check out his splendid reports on the streets, ramps and hotspots throughout the country complete with never before seen footage of daredevil skateboarders as they perform the most incredible stunts.

Every skater's worst nightmare turns into reality when a couple of revved-up rednecks pick the wrong gang of skaters to mess with. What started off as a close encounter turns into a deadly game of chess and we all know who's gonna win. Look in this video for insane tricks like: Kale Sandridge being towed by a motorcycle to 5-0 on top of a hawaiian vert wall. Richard Mulder's switch 5-0 shove-it. Marcus Macbride's frontside 180 heelflip over a pier 7 block. Mike Rafter's big spin frontside noseslide shove-it. And other ripping to make your eyes bleed.

The summer of '99 was the last of the century and everyone had to get their licks in before the end of the world. All of the hottest tricks that went down are in this box, so you'd better wear potholders when putting this in your VCR.

On The Road - 25 days of skating, over six thousand miles of highway, one rental van, thirty two tanks of gasoline, two citations, and a smorgasboard of skatespots all add up to one hell of a road trip. Peel back your eyelids and join in on the events that went down in Thrasher's summer tour.

From Madison Avenue ESPN®, skating is everywhere. But beyond all the hype and fanfare, there is a lot more than image. Check out how one clueless fool decided one day that he was going to be a "skater".

Thrasher Magazine presents Feats, a brutal visual assault that cuts to the bone of what skateboarding is all about. Travel through europe on 90¢ a day. Tour the Australian continent with a rag-tag crew jonesing for concrete skatepark annihilation. Sacramento's underground N-men reveal the tactics of locating and skating backyard pools. Karma Tsocheff shares his beliefs on skating, urban transcendentalism and bizarre apparel. Plus! Rare footage of Pipa Grande expedition. East Coast, West Coast, pools, ledges, flips and grinds. Hey it's all in here, Thrasher style.

Bottom line: Thinking ain't doing, so when you put on the ol' sneakers and get ready to blast off, just remember that skating is not rocket science...it's harder. This ain't something they teach you in school; we learn on the streets.

They come from all walks of life and every city in the universe to San Francisco for the dream of becoming a skateboard superstar. The migration is constant and because the magazine is here it is not unusual to find a skater out there who is willing to throw down if there is a camera around. The media is somewhat responsible for sponsorship but in reality, if you are worthy of adulation, it will come to you. We titled this video "Sponsor Me!" for all those screaming kids throughout the world who want to know what it takes to become the next skateboard celebrity. In between our victories and defeat we ask ourselves "What is sponsorship?"
