Description
Author: Sean Cliver
The skateboard decks documented in this special collection are immaculately photographed and laid-out for maximum graphic glory.
In “The Bible”, the visuals take center stage, but the fascinating vignettes and recollections provided by an A-list of skateboarding personalities from Tony Hawk to Mike Vallely, Mark Gonzales to Stacy Peralta bring context to the aesthetic mayhem.
The board graphics within The Disposable Skateboard Bible are broken down by decade: (beginning in 1960) docu- menting some of the earliest deck designs; through the 70s and the game-changing advent of urethane wheels; the 80s with its ups and downs, big decks and mass-market popularity; fi- nally, the graphic chaos of the 90s through the turn of the mil- lennium.
This book is a blue chip, must-have reference for any graphics library.
