His pictures inform my story in one of the simplest ways potential. Grant sees issues from a veteran photographer’s perspective and [perhaps more importantly] from a skateboarder’s perspective. I am honored to share this e-book, which is greater than a group of recollections. It’s a tribute to the tradition that formed us all, and displays the magical connection between skateboarder and photographer.’ – Tony Hawk

‘Little did I do know that when, in 1980, the younger Tony Hawk skated by the entrance gate of the Del Mar Skate Ranch the place I used to be employed, that our not-yet-started skilled careers would start their parallel paths. Since then, over the past 45 years, Tony and I’ve shot photographs of among the key moments of his wonderful skateboarding profession. On this e-book from Genesis Publications, I’ll share skate photographs much less seen, some by no means seen, and private behind-the-scenes moments solely pals can seize.’ – J. Grant Brittain
Hawk and Brittain’s restricted version e-book will embody unique commentary from each authors, together with insights from author Sean Mortimer, a former Powell Peralta staff rider, and nice good friend of Hawk.
