Aragon Insulted By Thrasher Magazine
Brian Aragon has had to suffer some pretty rough verbal and physical abuse over the years, and it seems to be intensifying recently. Not only has Aragon had to deal with Able adverts discrediting his reputation, and broken ankles, he has now come under fire from skateboarding’s biggest and most influencial magazine ‘Thrasher‘.
The magazine took out a full page to comment on Aragons dress as well as ridicule our sport/lifestyle. It is unsure at this time whether or not Aragon will be seeking legal action against the magazine that undoubtedly had no right to publish a picture of him.
The question is; does a full page in a widely read skateboarding magazine hurt the industry, or could this blatant stereotyping of our sport help to build and solidify an image of skating with non-rollers?

Man skateboarders are just jelious of what we can do, becuase we can hit rails higher than our shin, maybe they should stop worrying about how were dressing and doing our tricks and start worrying about their dying sport and realize the only reason its still alive is becuase of the recessitation of the x games

dude wtf why do skateboarders always criticize us. They are all just jealous of how we can bust things that our higher then our waists and they can only jump onto something thata about 3 feet high. They always gotta start shit

my comment sorta sounded like the other guys but w/e
October 11th, 2005 at 3:15 pm
Man the only reason why Thrasher magazine has to put that picture in their magazine is because they needed something else to talk about other than the 6 inch ladge that they had recently went and “KILLED”. And I really agree with Jon Torres when he says, that they are just jealous that we can kill stuff that is way bigger than that 6 inch high ledge that they skate every day!!

Yes Indeed thats a load of bollocks why would you actually publish rollerblading in a Skateboarder mag. what a bunch of twats. The only thing i can say is Aargon is such a Beast when it comes to skating (Rails or Ledges or even park). Regardles to what Thrasher wants to say…. They are simply board of of publishing shitty Skateboarding kick flips and manuals (WOOT!!) Dicks!, and thats why they printed that. All i can say is don’t let it affend any of you people and just rock out till you quit. Peace out guys and galz….

FUCK TRASHER THERE ALL PUSSYS
November 2nd, 2006 at 8:00 pm
shitface has a point there…
December 2nd, 2006 at 10:10 pm
They should also have put “note: the handrail all skateboarders wish they could even attempt” on the side
December 5th, 2006 at 9:15 pm
hahah thats just pathetic, why would they “waste their time” writing a full page article about something as “stupid as rollerblading”…just proves theyve all got fuck all better to be doin at that pussy ass attempt at a fuckin magazine…and to be honest, its, in a way, advertising for the sport of rollerblading. i used to be a skateboarder and seeing clips and images of chris haffey and brian shima made me see what i was missing… so hopefully it’ll get some kids interested…but a fucked up, pathetic attempt to have a go at rollerblading, they just wish chad muska n them fags were as good as aragon…word!
December 16th, 2006 at 3:18 am
He makes some cash off what he does and he is one of the bigger pros. He could dress better. Great guy great skater. Who ever shot it should sue. Trasher makes good money. Sadly instead of hating on what they do we should look at our self and ask why our mags dont make enough money to make it ok for us to fight back.
any press is good and shit who else is gona hype us!!!!!!
December 17th, 2006 at 11:42 pm
i hope aragon takes legal action against thrasher for publishing that pic of him, they deserve it
December 18th, 2006 at 2:50 am
i just looked at the photo again…is aragon even really wearing a red hat? it kinda looks photoshopped.
December 21st, 2006 at 9:13 pm
We Got Skateboarders Hating on us….
And We Got our Own Rollerbladrers HAting on Each Other….
Time To Change The Game.
February 7th, 2007 at 3:47 pm
you see..this is why everytime i see a woodpusher i start shit with them and it ends up with me fckn them up.. not to start a “revolution” but i only start shit with the woodpushers that i know are talking shit just by the way they look at us and there fckn scared of us in everway..there pathetic..and there they go still talking shit because our sport is more tech and keeps improving every day there still stuck on trying to hit a rail from beginning to end they can only disaster little down rails, there still stuck on the same shit as last year and the year before even the “snow mobile” is improving faster then them they just recently can do back flips now..and then you look at how skateboarding is improving and all you do is look in disgust…….keep rollin
February 8th, 2007 at 2:28 pm
the rolling community’s response to this stuff is exactly what fuels this stuff, jsut forget about it, rise above it already.
February 14th, 2007 at 4:26 am
WHEN THEY SEE THEY ARE LOSING MENBERS TO ROLLERBLADING THEY BUST SOMETHING LIKE THAT… WE DON’T PLAY DIRTY AND THEY DO… SKATEBOARDING IS COOL AND ROLLERBLADING IS INQUEDIBLE… IF I HAD A CHANCE I WOULD FUCK THIS MAGAZINES UP.
BUT I DON’T ,SO I JUST PREFER TO BUST A HUGE TRICK:D AND KILL THEM WITH THAT
PEACE
February 20th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
i say thats bull shit…..aragon is the man…..one sick baster…and skateboarders are just mad they cant do that with their little piece of shit boards…..and able has to stop talking shit about him because he shut them up in his ego section…he will take on any one in the fucking able team….thats how sick he is…thats all i have to say about that….shout out to shoulin and brooklyn was good…1
September 10th, 2007 at 10:30 pm

September 14th, 2007 at 10:54 am
à quoi ca sert de resortir un vieux dossier comme ca ?
September 28th, 2007 at 8:08 pm
anyone no how brian felt about it ?
October 5th, 2007 at 11:13 pm
The skateboarder in the pic should be saying, “Goddamn I wish I could hit that rail”
Old man; Aragon probably didn’t care cos stuff like that is gay and lame ass and Thrasher mag has nothing better to fill its pages with.
P.S i use Thrasher mag for toilet paper
November 21st, 2007 at 10:30 pm
i cant beleive how gay they are, and btw that vid is funny! haha what a fag, hes the best ive seen ;). seriously whats wrong with them, they start stuff off when were just minding our own buisness, they hog the parks going down, up, down and up and then when they bail the just run off away from everyone to hide their embarresment little pricks. and then they walk off in and you look at em and theyre like wtf and they start on em and u beat the crap outta them and then they try and act ‘cool’ with you.. gays arrrgh… gay faggot arse holes dick head twats
December 4th, 2007 at 5:52 am

December 12th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
that shits lame!, i think the owner of thrasher was online looking for a pair of skates to start rolling when his friend walked in he started talking shit. people like that need to really grow up, rolling is getting bigger and bigger everyday IT’S COMING BACK! skateboarding brands are afraid that many skateboarders are going back to rolling so they are losing out on money haha. skateboarding will become instinct because there is only so many trees left hahaha
January 5th, 2008 at 7:40 am
Really shows how professional Thrasher magazine is. Way to go guys, your prepubescent target audience must love this garbage. For all the rollers here, just remember 50+% of kids skateboarding today are just kicking the wood around to be cool. No need to fear.
January 16th, 2008 at 4:42 pm
yo i skateboarded, and couple months ago now i rollerblade cuz i find it more fun and out there but YO the thrasher shit ant cool man, skaterboards are gay now i lost all respect for them , and my boya that skateboard they will be hearing from me now and gay woodpushing looks.. skateboard are scared cuz we are comeing back to the top and they are just trying to push use back and quick as possable
January 16th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
