I have seen this new book called “DYSFUNCTIONAL” and it’s the skateboard book of it’s culture and art and creative genius we’ve all been waiting for. Not this baby drivel from CanaDUH! the concrete wave was a big dissapointment to us here . . .
Rating: 1 / 5
Possibly one of the most lame jaded skateboard books written without good fact checking and bought and paid for by a fausto vitello mythology of SF- centric [stuff].It is full of horrible misconceptions and leaves out the real people who built the sport. It is total BS by a dude in the frozen north who is so detached from the scene.absolute GARBAGE, should be a 0.

Simply stated: This book is garbage! If you are a real skater and really know skating you know that this book is for those who know almost nothing about our sport. The book not only looks horrible (circa late 80′s ugly post new wave design), there is alomst nothing to be gained from looking at the pictures or reading the 3rd grade level writing throughout. If people want to really know something important about REAL SKATEBOARDING they should go buy “DOGTOWN – The Legend of the Z-BOYS” That is the real skateboarder’s BIBLE. The Concrete Wave book really is a piece of doo-doo. The history of skateboarding? hardly. Don’t buy it, in fact if you own it, you may just want to recycle it. Anyone who gave this more than a 2 star review is not a real hard core skater, that is obvious to anyone who is. SKATE4LIFE!

It’s only almost good enough (not even) to check out at the book store . . . No reason to buy it. And I know skating, REAL skating! This is WHACK.
