Skate Legends, by Michael Brooke
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I have skated since the mid 70's. I know that skateboarding is very "now" oriented, and always has been. The problem this presents is that history becomes lost very quickly. Michael Brooke's book does its best to lay out the decades and sets up notable skaters from those eras. Is it every notable skater? no. Is it possible that your favorite may not be in the book? it's possible. But, that does not make the book a bad book. The book demonstrates that skating existed pre-1990 and has had a history worth holding on to. I feel that older skaters will get more enjoyment from the book, because it brings back memories. New skaters, if they are really in it for the long haul, can see what they are getting into and learn some of the names of the earlier days skateboarding.

As a person that started skating in the mid 70's, this book does bring about a rush of memories. From chapter one , the 60's, through the last, the 90's, this book has it. The big names in skating, the roles they played in its formation and what they are doing now in the skating arena. Along with the informative text on each skater throughout the decades, there are great pics. The pics show the evolution in skating style and fasion but most importantly show what has kept the skating world growing. So whether you are an older skater or younger skater this book is a must. Plus, this is a great companion book for "The Concrete Wave" which is Michael Brookes first book.
