Brian Aragon has had to suffer some pretty rough verbal and physical abuse over the years, and it seems to be intensifying recently. Not only has Aragon had to deal with Able adverts discrediting his reputation, and broken ankles, he has now come under fire from skateboarding's biggest and most influencial magazine 'Thrasher'.

The magazine took out a full page to comment on Aragons dress as well as ridicule our sport/lifestyle. It is unsure at this time whether or not Aragon will be seeking legal action against the magazine that undoubtedly had no right to publish a picture of him.

The question is; does a full page in a widely read skateboarding magazine hurt the industry, or could this blatant stereotyping of our sport help to build and solidify an image of skating with non-rollers?
