Skateboard Culture

Skateboard culture seen by those who live it. Born as a simple pastime, skateboarding has become a real culture in the early 70s. Since then, it has never stopped evolving, bringing in every decade a wave of innovations and creations capable of influencing many aspects of our society: fashion, photography, music, cinema, design... With 17 interviews with key figures of skateboard culture (including Wes Humpston, Marc McKee and Spike Jonze), 250 skaters, 400 photographs, 65 advertisements, 100 stickers, 180 boards and countless tricks, this volume illustrates all the key events of a rebellious DNA culture. A comprehensive work from a historical and technical point of view, for professionals and enthusiasts, encouraging you to launch into flips, grinds, and tailslides.
