the boys over at thrashermagazine.com have been posting online back issues from 1982 on up, I think thier at 1987 right now. This has been a virtual trip down memory lane for me and I am in awe of the images that bring back my young adult life and my deep decent into skateboarding culture. Go see when street skating was being born and vert was in full swing, it's def worth a look.
There's a lot of gems like these: The old Santa Cruz adds with the incredible Jim Phillips art and shots of guys like Natas Gonz and Tommy taking the ollies and wallrides to ridiculous heights for the times, peep game!
