Books UK 1970's

There were a flurry of books published in the late seventies to capitalise on the new Skateboard boom. Most took the form of 'How to' books. Some contain interesting early photographs but many were assembled by those people working on the Skateboard magazines and thus contained a lot of photographs already published in the UK and USA magazines.

  Ace On Wheels by Godfery Goodwin 1980
 

Ok -  so technically published after the '70s but that's Mark Baker on the cover, in the Pool at the Barn Skatepark in Brighton, and its circa 1978.


This is novel by the way - 'Sam was just learning about Skateboarding, but his older brother David was an ace. Everybody that had ever seen him skate knew that - including Dr Colorado Bigheart, the big talking American manager in search of a new Skateboard Star'
