Long before co-founding Concrete Wave Magazine, before Longboarding for Peace, prior to writing the book Concrete Wave: The History of Skateboarding, and decades before creating The Inside Atlas, Micheal Brooke was a Canadian kid who was obsessed with skateboarding. So obsessed that it shaped his entire life.
Over the past summer, Brooke, now 61, decided to pull all his skateboarding thoughts together into one “book” a.k.a. manifesto. It’s on online book hosted by Vandem Longboard Shop in the UK and it’s titled: 50 Years of Skateboarding.
If you’re feeling nostalgic for Skateboarder Magazine, the dawn of urethane wheels, G&S Fibreflex boards, Warren Bolster, Steve Rocco, and the rest and have a few minutes to spend with a heartfelt, rambling, personal love letter to skateboarding from a true fan, then by all means, click the link.
