Summary
Critical Evaluation
When browsing through Thrasher it was not that easy to grasp
as someone that is not part of the skateboarding community. For folks that are
in the skateboarding community, one must
get a sense that this magazine is exactly for you. Their website seemed to
function as a community, has many videos of skateboarders doing stunts, they
have an archive and a shop. It has a DIY
feel and seems like many different folks can submit to it. For individuals that are pro skateboarders or
whose passion is skateboarding, with many teens in this category, Thrasher can
be a go to and learn a few things and see themselves in a print magazine, or engage
with online.
