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.

“To fill the hour,—that is happiness; to fill the hour, and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval. We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate well on them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“What a long strange trip it’s been.”
—Robert Hunter, U.S. rock lyricist. “Truckin’,” on the Grateful Dead album American Beauty (1971)
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
