Thrasher got together with Wired Magazine to choose the most impressive skateboarding pics of 2011. With over 10′000 pictures posted in the print and online editions of the magazine in the last 12 months, you can imagine that the choice was not easy. We cannot choose our favorite of the bunch, they are all just amazing.

“The magazine runs more than 10,000 photos in its print and online editions each year, and damn near every one of them shows someone doing something bordering on insane. These are the 10 most jaw-dropping photos Thrasher published this year. They aren’t the best, in that the lighting or composition may not be perfect. But this isn’t about photography. It’s about skateboarding.

“It’s really more about the stunt being documented,” said Thrasher magazine creative director Kevin Convertito. “Sort of like shooting photos of car crashes.”

As Thrasher photo editor Michael Burnett would say, these are photos snapped when the skater was at his moment of “maximum rad.” And if every picture says 1,000 words, then the story here is of skaters pushing the limits of their sport in what Convertito calls “progression through focused aggression.”

Check out the rest of the photos after the jump.

As the title sponsor of the new Thrasher video “Prevent This Tragedy”, CONS produced a capsule collection of shoes and matching apparel. Up to this point, CONS hasn’t done any “collaborations” and this would be the closest they’ve come to one, and might ever come – so this is a pretty big deal. The first shoe to leak is a black suede CTS with blue accents and a Thrasher “Prevent This Tragedy” insole.

The “Prevent This Tragedy” video will be free in the February cover issue of Thrasher Magazine (on newsstands January 12th); but the shoes will be hitting finer skate shops early next week.

Have a look at the insole after the jump.

After the Vans x Board Co. collaboration that we presented, here is another exciting collaboration to hit stores Fall 2007. Vans got together with Thrasher.
Thrasher was founded in 1981 and for over 25 years has been committed to documenting the culture of hardcore skateboarding in an objective and raw format, made by skaters for skaters. Thrasher started The Skater of the Year Awards in 1990. Each year the SOTY award has honored the skateboarder who killed it that year and best represented the ideals of Thrasher, and it’s a list of legends. Three of Vans’s current pro riders have taken home the award-John Cardiel, Geoff Rowley and Tony Trujillo. The Vans Thrasher SOTY pack offers a customized version of each rider’s pro shoe, two all-over print tee shirts and two trucker hats. There is a TNT III Slip-On, Squares and Old School in the collection. This collaboration represents the love of skateboarding, and the contributions that have been made by Thrasher, these three riders and all the past and future SOTYs..
