Did make me wonder about how Mike John will react given his recent posts about him having to sell his camera due to brands not paying him for his photos. Hopefully he’ll get some £ from Thrasher

Mike has posted the link to it on his Insta already. Also as a point of interest they are not all Mike’s photos in the Thrasher article, 3 of them are mine and 2 are Iain Borden’s. There may well other’s in there too.

Fair - not unlike Thrasher tbh but that’s what happens I suppose.
I noticed that our own scienceversuslife was absent from the list of people involved too :man_shrugging:t2:

Regardless, as Winstan said, best Thrasher coverage of non American skating ever.
:grin:
