Thrasher Magazine doesn’t hand out flowers lightly — you earn them the hard way that’s why we’re proud that Thrasher magazine has announced Chris Joslin as their Skater of the Year.
Joslin skates like the laws of physics are optional. Raw power, full commitment, zero shortcuts. Every clip feels like a make-or-break moment, and somehow he rides away every time. No gimmicks, no trend-chasing — just hammers dropped in the streets with a work ethic that borders on unhinged.
In a year where skateboarding keeps splintering into algorithms, contests, and content churn, Joslin stayed locked into what matters: going fast, going big, and putting it all on the line. The kind of skating that reminds you why you started watching in the first place.
2025 belonged to the heavy hitters. Chris Joslin stood tallest.
