intro 1.1

My fellow thrashers. I call you to join with me on our glorious journey of success. When people think of "thrashers", they think of high school drop outs who fight multiple dudes at once and love to bleed......and that's about right. But there is another side to the thrasher....gettin sh.t done. Thrashers are the dumb guy that you convince to try the homemade ramp first. He may be dumb but he landed that junk. They are the guys who do what other people are afraid to do but wish they could. Some examples include: UFC fighters, mountaineers, Motocross guys (or anything else at the X-games) and Porn stars. It funny how these are the jobs no one would ever do, but man, people are all about trying to look like they do. I mean, 90% of Mountain Hardware and North Face "tech wear" is balled up in the back of a Toyota Four-runner, under the cooler painted with a Jimmy Buffet quote. And fat dudes with bald heads are all about some "TAPOUT" gear. Well, enough ranting for one day, you get the idea.



In my inaugural Thrasher of the Day post, I give you the king. Sir Jackie "speed rub" Chan. Most in the know need no further explanation. But for all of you posers who try to look and talk like a thrasher but watch the world from the cafe in a Barnes $ Nobles (Outside Magazine), I will explain....

1. He is a trained Opera singer, has 20 albums and has done almost every theme song for his movies.
2. Holds the world record for "most stunts by a living actor". Also holds the record for most takes for a single movie scene (2900)
3. He broke his foot seriously in a scene where he jumps from a bridge to a Hovercraft, then he has a booty painted to look like his shoe slipped over his full plaster cast. Why does he do this? Not so he can do more acting, no, so he can barefoot ski on it at 55mph behind the hovercraft. By the way, he learned to barefoot ski the day before.
4. Finally, because he can without a doubt beat the fu yung out of Jet Li. Look it up. Jet lie was a champion martial artist but retired at 17, acting there on. Definitely not a thrasher!
