Skateboard: A Visual History of the Evolution of Skateboard Design
From its humble beginnings as a simple wooden plank to the advanced high-tech models of today, the skateboard has undergone a remarkable transformation. Skateboard explores the illustrious eras of skateboarding through over 100 boards that have played pivotal roles in shaping the sport's history.
Spanning six thematic chapters, the book is organized chronologically by decade, focusing on the materials, designs, and events that have defined skateboarding as an art, a sport, and a culture. Developed in close collaboration with Converse, a brand deeply intertwined with skateboarding since its inception, Skateboard is packed with information and insights about the people and events that have shaped the sport. With over 500 illustrations, including newly studio-shot and historical images, the book vividly captures the technical, makeup, and structural development of skateboards across time.
Each board featured in the book is photographed to scale, allowing readers to appreciate the individual flair and size of each board in relation to its counterparts. Accompanied by engaging text from author, designer, and former skater Jonathan Olivares, the book delves into the stories behind the boards, shedding light on the creative processes and the technical challenges that have been overcome throughout the years.
In addition to pro models of iconic skaters such as Laura Thornhill, Ray 'Bones Rodriquez, Tony Hawk, Natas Kaupas, and Mike Vallely, Skateboard showcases a selection of archival action shots that bring these legendary skaters to life.
Skateboard features a foreword by Paul Professor Schmitt, adding further insight and perspective to the history and evolution of skateboard design.
