CalStreets was recently featured in A Book by Ben Marcus called ‘ The Skateboard: The Good , The Rad And The Gnarly ‘. Many Photo’s for this book were provided by CalStreets.com as well as many of the vintage skate ads. The story of the simple skateboard is part thriller, part underground, underdog success tale. It’s chock-full of innovations, far-out graphic artistry, and ever-more-incredible hot-dogging feats. And the story’s told in this book with contributions from the stars themselves—Tony Hawk, Stacey Peralta, Jeff Ho, the Dogtown Z-Boys, and more. Beautifully illustrated with historical posters, ads, and memorabilia along with new action photography, studio skateboard shots, and unique portraits of the stars, this is a fitting tribute to an American classic.
