Book Reviews of Built to Grind: 25 Years of Hardcore Skateboarding
Book Review: Old school, new school, whatever school...this book rocks!
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a bunch of "retrospective" skate books that have been published in the last several years (Legacy of Warren Bolster, Bulldog's Art, Dogtown & Z-Boys, Skate Legends, Concrete Wave, Insane Terrain, etc.). Most focus on one particular facet/era/person. While for the most part they are all really good, Built to Grind is one of the best...and by *far* the biggest (weighing in at nearly 5 pounds!). Of course it portrays Indy trucks as being the center of the skateboard universe from the earliest old school all the way to the present (um, like, um, wasn't there a little company called "Tracker" that made trucks that *most* of the pro's rode for like a decade? And Gullwing? And dozens of others? etc.). But aside from the blatant self-promotional "pro-Indy" propoganda, the book really is an *excellent* document of all types of skating from early roots to backyard pools to ramps to new school street/stairs/rails. TONS of killer pics, and not too many stoopid captions. Buy it now.
