Description

A celebration of skateboard culture from the 1970s to today, featuring interviews with legendary skaters including Tony Hawk and Mark Gonzales, a foreword by director Spike Jonze, and over 400 rare photographs and images Since the 1970s, skateboarding has emerged from the fringes of the Californian underground to become a global phenomenon and a culture of its own. Throughout each passing decade, skateboarding’s creativity, both on and off the board, has influenced mainstream fashion, photography, music, art, and film. In this beautifully designed celebration of skateboarding, Morgan Bouvant and Sébastien Carayol retrace the rich history of skateboard culture through seventeen exclusive interviews with legendary skaters; numerous engaging essays recounting key events, crucial local scenes, and meaningful anecdotes in skate history; nostalgic explorations of brands, movies, and fashion; and over 400 photos by iconic skateboard photographers, carefully curated advertisements by legendary brands, and detailed diagrams showcasing skateboard anatomy and the different types of tricks. Perfect for skaters old and new, Skateboard Culture is a stunning ode to more than five decades of free-spirited rebellion. Read more

  • Came for the Content, Stayed for the Design Came for the Content, Stayed for the Design
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book as research for a design project, and I was absolutely blown away by how well designed it is. Seriously, it may be the best-designed book in my collection, and that's saying something, as I often buy books just for their design. The content is just as impressive, with essays, interviews, reproductions of old ads, and really fun diagrams. It's clear this was a labor of love. ... show more
