    About the Book

    Edit

    Published from 1981 to 1991, Skate Fate was one of the earliest and longest-running homemade, photocopied skate zines.

    Like the first The Best of Skate Fate book published back in 2011, the all-new The Best of Skate Fate Too bursts with more of the most crucial content culled from the pages of nearly all 76 issues of this legendary zine. It’s delivered to you fresh from the pre-computer period, when paste-up on artboards with triangles and T-squares was the only way to do it. Scanned directly from the original master layouts, it all looks better than ever!

    Expanded and updated articles like “Xerox Scuzz” and “A Sketchy History of Skate Fate” explore the 1980s skate zine phenomenon in detail. Exclusive full-length interviews delve into the minds of skateboarding legends John Gibson and Lester Kasai, plus plenty of ams like Mike Hill, Brett Martin, Bryan Ridgeway, Dave Swift, Winchester manager Dan Peterson, GSD and others. Also includes a new interview with Kevin "Squid" Dickmann.

    In addition to a massive photo gallery, there are sections featuring hand-drawn ads and cartoon strips, spot profiles, contest coverage, corrosive essays and so much more—all wrapped up with a gallery of Skate Fate covers and a collector’s guide in the back. Now is the perfect time for The Best of Skate Fate Too. If you love '80s skateboarding, this is the book for you.

    • Includes 36 pages of color photos.
    • Higher quality paper.
    • Also available in hardcover.
