I love this book.Brought back alot of memories and refreshed my memory about boards I had forgot about.Great history of alot of artist and companies.Highly recommend and cant wait for Sean to do another.

This book is great for those who have fond memories of 80's skateboard graphics. It's full of color photos of hundreds of boards and gives personal memories from both skaters and artists. Sean Cliver used to work for Powell Peralta as a graphic artist just before the fall of vert skateboarding in the early 90's so he has an interesting fan and artist perspective of skateboard art. Alot of attention early in the book is on all the Powell Peralta boards which were the most memorable boards of the 80's (Tony Hawk,Steve Caballero,Mike McGill)as well as other greats from brands like Santa Cruz,Vision and Sims. The book also reveals how the art form changed with the drastic change in skateboarding of the 90's. Cliver tells the history of skateboard art along with his own story as an artist.

This is a great book for those of you, like myself, who grew up admiring the artwork on the bottom of your skateboard. Cliver takes you through the history of skateboard graphics by combining his own personal experience as a board artist with some of the most influential artists' and skaters' recollections and stories of the time. The result is an excellent book that gives us an inside look at what was going on behind those insane graphics. Included in the book are over a 1000 high quality images of the best skateboards ever produced by the industry over the past 30 years. Ah, the good ol' days !!

Bought the book for a gift and they loved it. Thanks for the fast shipping!.....................................................................................................................................................................................

Awesome..... this book tells you about maybe the most memorable thing in your life. For people who have concern about art (graphic) on their board as much about their great times enjoying skateboarding. Try it.

A MUST have for any 80s & 90s skateboard enthusiast or just somebody that wants to relive the good ole days. The insight into how the board designs were conceived and the artwork executed, as well as how these companies competed with each other are beyond fascinating... A+++
