| Synopsis: |
Skateboarding is a vital part of youth culture and it shows no signs of slowing down. There are approximately 11 million skateboarders in North America and the industry is now doing well over a billion dollars a year in sales. Two years ago Michael Brooke wrote The Concrete Wave, the first book ever written on the history of skateboarding. The book appealed to both current and former skaters and hit over 25,000 in sales. It also spawned a 13 part television series and a magazine. Building upon this success, this book looks at the top 140 skateboarders of all time. Like its predecessor, this book is also a publishing first -- until now, no one has ever written a book on skateboard legends. Spanning the last four decades of skateboarding, the book is filled with amusing anecdotes and insight. From Tom Sims to Tony Hawk, this book is bound to hit a nerve, no matter what era you skated in. This book includes hundreds of action photographs from some of the world's best skate photographers. |
