As someone who started skating even before Thrasher published their first issue, and who has an extensive collection of Thrasher magazines, I too was a little underwhelmed by this book. Nevertheless, it's a worthy effort at summing up what Thrasher was and is. The print quality is top notch, and the photography is excellent. Many pages are occupied by short bios of "Legends", skaters that have left indelible marks on the art of skateboarding over time. These offer little more than polish on the already established fame/infamy of those mentioned, though. I was expecting more of Thrasher's seminal articles reprinted, but besides that pillar of skateboard writing, "Skate and Destroy", from 1982 they are few and far between. All that aside - Thrasher remains the truest, most meaningful print expression of skateboarding. Don't forget - Thrasher was there when skateboarding appeared dead to the eyes of the world at large, and they're still here.

A must have book for your living room coffee table collection. I do not like how Jay Adams was thrown out there in this book,and the controversy over Dusto and the pipe Salba got busted in is bogus BS,but aside from that,this book is WELL worth the $20 bucks for a crisp,clean and new copy. If you are a skater for life,you must own this. Purchase this,and if you don't have the spending gitas,get your girlfriend or mom to buy it! AWESOME BOOK!!!

I hope the 25 year anniversary book is better, the cover of it looks promising enough with Jay Adams and the classic Skate & Destroy motto I live by across the front, but this one is b o r i n g.

Thrasher:Insane terrain is an awsome book with great pictures and information. To all skaters i recommend this book you will enjoy it. To all non-skaters play thrasher skate and destroy that is also awsome. Thrasher this book is truly a compliment to urselves as a pioneer of the skating revloution. GREAT BOOK!!!!If u dont read it you are truly missing out it was worth every cent.
