San Diego Had The Covers

Thrasher’s Classic Covers, San Diego’s Greatest Hits digs into some of the most iconic cover shots to come out of San Diego.

Wes Kremer and Alexis Ramirez walk through the stories behind the photos. The skaters involved, the spots, the photographers, and what it actually took to land the shot.

Before social media, a Thrasher cover meant everything. One photo could define a career.

The video shows how much work went into those moments. Endless tries, rough spots, and photographers chasing the right frame at the right time.

It’s also a reminder of how important San Diego has been to skateboarding. From legendary street spots to some of the most recognised names in skating, the city helped shape an era.

If you’re into skate history, classic photos, or just want to hear the stories behind the covers, it’s worth the watch.
