SK8 Thing//Printed Matter//Skate Book Vol 3



Feat. Bart Simpson

One of the skate world’s best-kept secrets is the ultra-collectible but hard to find SKATE BOOK. A 350+ page hardcover “mag,” from the minds of skaters SALMAN AGAH and MIKE BALLARD, the refreshingly formatted quarterly periodical is a welcome departure from the copycat skate mags that could once call themselves cutting-edge. Featuring beautiful photography and in-depth articles, Skate Book embraces several themes and riders per issue, delving deep into each in a timeless manner befitting the magazine’s hard cover status. Volume 3 is a must-have featuring lengthy profiles on OG pro and Supertouch homie LANCE MOUNTAIN, vintage skate stickers, and cover boy BART SIMPSON who was illustrated especially for the issue in a series of spreads depicting “El Barto” ripping hard across legendary SoCal spots like Carlsbad, Hollywood High, and the Sunset Carwash Gap.
