With most people knowing what to expect from a Thrasher video by now, it’s no surprise to find heavy tunes, horrible slams and plenty of beer drinking inside this killer box set! They say not to judge a book by its cover, but with artwork by Sam Hitz, the age old prophesy has to be proven wrong!
In usual Thrasher style this bad boy kicks off with a slam, then a banger, slam, banger, slam, banger and so on…then in usual Thrasher style it sprays gnar like the mud from a 2 girls, one cup clip.
Fred Gall opens the proceedings, skating some of the most haggard spots out there and killing it on some really awkward street transition at speed. Lance Mountain, David Gravette, Alex Horn, Darren Navarrette and our very own Ben Raemers then take this to the next level whilst the amps zoom to 11 on the soundtrack. Check the line up from that site, works a treat.
Colin Lambert brings the pain with some ridiculously hard slams to kick his part off and also gets creative at the infamous steps of Macba. His efforts are followed shortly by an Antihero true ‘balls out’ banger after banger section with Hewitt showing you how it’s done and Robbie Russo pulling out some ridiculously long grinds at stupid speeds.
It’s rad to see that Europe also gets a spotlight, before Thrasher regulars Sammy Bacca, Steve Forstner and Andrew Cannon get all hesh for your viewing pleasure, with Drehobl , Guzman, Navarrette, Horn, Ramondetta and Strubing hucking out some filth to fuel the fury. Haslam and Hassan tackle some of the deepest pools and most challenging terrain in the southern hemisphere and Vans riders stray from the beaten track in checking out Israel.
Tony Trujillo ends the proceedings, takes some hard slams and also delivers the style that you’ve come to expect from this madman. He covers pretty much every spot where others ripped and then some… This concrete junkie knows how to shred and he seems to get better every year, awesome section.
I have real trouble distinguishing the sections as it seems to have none, but hey that’s Punk and needless to say it’s a RAD video with some amazing skating – be it street, park or pool. There’s no doubt that this production will get you hyped on skating so grab it whilst its Brutality remains fresh.
