Skateboarding books


The Disposable Skateboard Bible


by: Sean Cliver
Very cool fun book. I skated a lot in the late '80s and of and on in the '90s. More recently I bomb hills on a longboard, and my nephew is getting into it. This book is a complete and enjoyable look at practically every deck design one could possibly recall, from the 1950s to now. Well done and could work as a good coffee table book, but understand - there are few actual skater/skate shots, or anything about trucks or wheels. This is an encyclopedia for collectors and lovers of decks and deck art.

Dreamseller


by: Brandon Novak
This should be on every high school read list with a book report for the parents, friends and relatives. This book is very, very, very, very much of an adult read BUT get over it.

This is not a reminder of death but of a future.

If you want to know what an enabler is, what drugs meant, what they promote and weaken, then this is the one.

I saw this kid on the Howard Stern Show and what he was allowed to do. This book is not an Artie Lang feel sorry book. It is a warning and telling of what one could be, or is, for life and knows it.

Skateboarding: Book of Tricks


by: Steve Badillo, Doug Werner
My son didn't find this book helpful at all. He said that he already knew how to do most of the tricks and even if he didn't, the instructions were not clear enough to be able to learn them.
