Thrashers are a New World group of passerine birds related to mockingbirds and New World catbirds. Like these, they are in the Mimidae family. There are 15 species in one large and 4 monotypic genera.
These do not form a clade but are a phenetic assemblage. It is rather likely than not — though by no means robustly supported — that the sage thrasher is a basal lineage among a group also consisting of mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. The Caribbean thrashers occupy varying positions in an assemblage consisting of them, the tremblers, and the New World catbirds. Here, the white-breasted thrasher appears to be quite basal though it is impossible to place it anywhere with certainty, whereas the pearly-eyed thrasher is probably quite close to the tremblers. (Hunt et al. 2001, Barber et al. 2004)
Their common name describes the behaviour of these birds when searching for food on the ground: they use their long bills to "thrash" through dirt or dead leaves. All of these birds eat insects and several species also eat berries.
Thrasher is a monthly skateboarding magazine, founded in 1981 by Kevin Thatcher, Eric Swenson, and Fausto Vitello, and published by High Speed Productions, Inc. of San Francisco, USA. The publication consists primarily of skateboard- and music-related articles, photography, interviews and skatepark reviews. The magazine also maintains a website, which includes segments with names such as "Firing Line" and "Hall of Meat", an online store, a video collection, a radio show, and a forum for registered users. The company also owns and operates the Double Rock indoor skateboarding facility.
In 1999, the magazine sponsored a PlayStation game called Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.
The magazine's website features regularly updated episodes of segments and hosts a forum in which registered users can engage in online discussion.

Plot: Pauli and his friend Daniel hop on their bikes and ride across the border to Mexico to try out a bar called Rosa's Cantina, which happens to be next to the infamous El Diablo prison. Though some of the locals try to warn the two gringos away, Pauli unwisely insists on going in. In the course of the evening, he manages to start a fight with the many prison guards unwinding from work, and gets arrested. Daniel, who managed to avoid arrest, tries repeatedly to negotiate for Pauli's release, but eventually decides that the only way to free his friend is for him to take more direct action.

Whether it’s the fountain of youth or unrivaled drive, he’s still at the top of his game. We all know what he’s accomplished over the years, but seeing these high speed ledges lines in the B-Sides is so damn rad.

Violence and agression become passion in this world
Walking down the alley smelling the prey – tally ho!
Feeling like a hunter aiming for the strongest stag
All the satisfied and all the fat should now take care
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
Who is to blame – hatred of the thrasher
Fear the stalking thrasher in the canyons you call
streets
Resistance from the gutter getting hotter day by day
Victims never get to know the violators name
Leaders of society they hide in towers of glass
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
Who is to blame – hatred of the thrasher
Who do you think you are?
Everytime you went to far
You planted a gentle breeze
But a hurricane is what you harvest
Are you afraid – he came to judge you
Are you afraid – they call him thrasher
Who is to blame – violence and aggression
