The Disposable Skateboard Bible
The Skateboard Bible is a personal and unapologetic exploration of skateboard design, with a focus on the boards themselves and the art that adorns them. Rather than dissecting every component—such as trucks, wheels, and other technical elements—this book zeroes in on the deck as both a functional object and a canvas for creativity.
The title, while playful, reflects the recurring references to "Bible-like" themes that emerged during the writing process, leading to an inspired design choice. True to its name, the book begins with a "genesis": the arrival of urethane wheels in 1973, a revolutionary moment that transformed skateboarding forever.
With a rich blend of imagery and storytelling, The Skateboard Bible is a celebration of the artistry and cultural significance of the skateboard. It’s not a comprehensive technical guide but a passionate homage to the boards that have defined the sport and the creative expressions they carry. Whether you’re a skater, a designer, or simply an admirer of skateboarding culture, this book offers a unique perspective on an enduring icon of self-expression and style.
