Skate Rock Series
Thrasher released a music compilation series titled "Skate Rock" under the label of High Speed Productions, starting in 1983 with Volume One and continuing until Volume Seven in 1989. The series started out featuring California-based punk rock bands, eventually featuring bands fronted by skaters (Steve Caballero, Tony Alva, Klaus Grabke as Eight Dayz, etc.)
Of the seven volumes of Skate Rock, all volumes were produced as a cassette available through Thrasher Magazine. Some volumes were also available on LP.

Famous quotes containing the words skate, rock and/or series:
“Wait, Kate! You skate at such a rate
You leave behind your skating mate.
Your splendid speed won’t you abate?
He’s lagging far behind you, Kate.”
—David Daiches (b. 1912)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
“Through a series of gradual power losses, the modern parent is in danger of losing sight of her own child, as well as her own vision and style. It’s a very big price to pay emotionally. Too bad it’s often accompanied by an equally huge price financially.”
—Sonia Taitz (20th century)
