Thrasher Skateboard Magazine is company grounded in the routes of skateboarding history. They started out as a way for professional and amateur skaters to gain publicity. The company now primarily focuses on their website and Youtube channel as well as a popular instagram and facebook page. Their site offers the latest news about video part releases, skateboard company activity and updates on professional skaters. They even have their own video series also known as “webisodes.”

This is an app that lets you locate a skatepark or popular skate spot around the world. Users can search certain locations to find ledges, gaps, rails and skateparks that other users have marked and uploaded pictures of. You have the ability to rate a spot from 1 to 10. There is even a photo feed option where you can see uploaded photos of skaters at certain spots and where you can upload pictures to the feed yourself. This is a great app for both beginner skaters wanting to find a local park all the way to experienced skaters wanting a new spot to skate.

CCS is a company that started out publishing magazines with the first halves of their magazines showing pro skaters and advertisements, and the other half consisting of purchasable apparel and skateboards. The company has evolved into a primarily online store with one of the biggest inventories out of any other online skate shop. Here you can find all your skate apparel, skate gear and even create your own skateboard and have it shipped right to your door. If you live up north and winter rolls around, they have a whole category for snow sports like snowboards, skis and goggles. I recommend this site to anyone needing some new gear to get you looking right on a board!
