Description

Skateboard: A Chronicle of Design and Evolution From its humble beginnings as a simple wooden plank to the high-tech models of today, the skateboard has undergone a remarkable transformation. This authoritative book explores the golden eras of skateboarding through over 100 boards that brought about pivotal moments in the sport's history. Developed in collaboration with Converse, Skateboard delves into the materials, designs, and events that have shaped the art, sport, and culture of skateboarding. With more than 500 illustrations, including studio-shot images and archival photographs, this book provides a comprehensive look at the skateboard's technical, design, and structural development across time. Featuring iconic pro models from legendary skaters such as Laura Thornhill, Ray 'Bones' Rodriquez, Tony Hawk, Natas Kaupas, and Mike Vallely, Skateboard is a must-have for anyone interested in the history and evolution of skateboarding.
