Skatepark of Tampa Pete Thompson Book
To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it
was for much of the 1990’s. The photographs, quotes and anecdotal text in ’93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making
a livable income as a professional skater was a luxury and public
understanding of skateboarding was at a all-time low. It was a
time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time
before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating
was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovate style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the 90’s were the golden years of skateboarding. ’93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for ’93 til was buried inboxes for close to 2 decades and hasn't been seen or published before. The 250 page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late 80’s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists.

What Others Say About SPoT
The item was shipped quickly. I was very happy that the shoes were available at your store/shop when they were unavailable in the needed size at the Adidas site and a couple other stores.
