An amazing display of graphic design and artistic imagery appears
on skateboards made over the last forty years. Early "Plain Janes"
gave way to many diverse colorful designs, some closely in step
with developing rock music. Boards that rock include images of
favorite musicians and bands, like Black Flag, Agent Orange,
Sublime, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, as well as memorabilia from the
Dog Town movie...revealing a major subculture. Over 500 dazzling
color photographs show hundreds of distinguished skateboards
chronologically arranged, including construction details that make
some collectors' items, and related stickers, memorabilia, and
racing team clothing. Today's collector market is reflected in the
values with the captions. Nostalgic riders and hot new blood alike
will race through this book.
