Slap Magazine was an American skate magazine created by Lance Dawes in 1992, while he worked for Trasher.[1] Slap was distributed by High Speed Productions alongside Thrasher.[2]

History

Founding

Dawes worked at Thrasher as a darkroom technician, developing film and printing for the magazine. It was Thrasher's idea to start a new magazine, choosing Dawes to spearhead it because he was the youngest dude that worked at Thrasher, rode for dogtown, and skated everyday, often skating at Embarcadero.[3]

The first issue, April 1992, featured Mike Carroll with a backside 50-50 photographed by Lance Dawes.[4] Slap magazine was for many years under the stewardship of Mark Whiteley.[5]

The last Slap print issue was in December 2008.[4] Despite discontinuing its publishing, Slap has continued to be publish skate media with its website and online message board, which is known as the go-to place for skateboarding rumors and news.[4]
