Accept no imitations, the blue chip, standard reference of skateboard deck history and graphics is back in print. Fifteen years after first publication, author Sean Cliver’s towering achievement has stood the test of time. This “Bible” of pre-millennium skateboard decks is lovingly curated and impeccably designed and photographed. The boards take center stage, but fascinating vignettes and recollections by an A-list of skateboarding personalities from Tony Hawk to Mike Vallely, Mark Gonzales to Stacy Peralta bring context to the aesthetic mayhem. The boards within The Disposable Skateboard Bible are broken down by decade: (beginning in 1960) documenting some of the earliest deck designs; through the 70s and the game-changing advent of urethane wheels; the 80s with its ups and downs, big decks and mass-market popularity; and finally the graphic chaos of the 90s through the turn of the millennium.
