DESCRIPTION:
A Breif History Visually this book is beutiful - well designed and layed out, great photographs and excellent printing - I prefere the lack of glare from an uncoated paper. I like the text all in the front and the pics seperate. After reading The Conrete Wave I realized that Dysfunctional is very breif in the telling of the history of skateboarding. Although, it does have some interesting things Michael Brooke didn't document. There's a gre. kelea said Dysfunctional. Dysfunctional is a very beautiful book with very lovely photographs and pictures. As stupid as this sounds, I think it has excellent binding. It has little text, but I think the pictures explain much more than words. It didn't feature a lot of skateboarding tricks and stunts, but more of advertisements and ads and stickers etc., which you don't see anymore. Dysfunctional showed the spirit of skateboarding more than the histo. this book rules! A Customer This book is great, it documents skateboading in a fresh way, mixing action photos with classic skate advertising and graphics. What I want to know is when somebody is going to put out a book on the gonz's life. (see broken poems)
There are the inevitable injuries, scruffy clothing, popular outlets, t-shirt graphics, cutting edge advertising, photography, painting, magazines, video sequences, and the toughest locations from Los Angeles to London. From old school to hard core, Dysfunctional is the first international overview of contemporary skateboard culture. Unlike conventional skate media it is not about tricks and competitions, but rather focuses on ideas and attitudes - the experiences and details that make skating the vibrant and lasting youth subculture that it is. From cover to cover, Dysfunctional is highly visual, a brilliant collection of graphic clues that recreate the patina of skate style. Skaters and 'skate betties' are portrayed hanging out, chilling out and hassled by security. With essays by antiheroes Garry Davis and Craig Steycyk.
