Thrasher dude gets fired.

Jake Phelps at Thrasher Mag is a dude with a reputation.
He seems to act somewhat crazy most of the time and he´s not afraid to speak his mind.

Anywho, I guess his hate message to skater Frank Hirata was the final verbal assault from him while being employed by Thrasher.

Frank was a big time pro in the 90´s and did some very impressive shit in his day. He now lives in Venice CA in a semi collective with some mutual friends. I was actually quite starstruck when I saw him there last summer.

As far as Franks´s skatepark drawings/designs go I have no idea. But I guess Phelps had to rant about it and now Thrasher will never be the same.
