In the DogTown area of west Los Angeles, a group of young surfers known as the Zephyr Team (Z-Boys) was experimenting with new and radical moves and styles in the water, which they translated to the street. When competition skateboarding returned in 1975, the Z-Boys turned the skating world on its head. DogTown: The Legend of the Z-Boys is a truly fascinating case study of how an underground sport ascended in the world. These are the stories and images of a time that not only inspired a generation but changed the face of the sport forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume has been described as \"the DogTown textbook\" and an indispensable companion piece to the Sony Pictures Classics film Dogtown and Z-Boys. Now spanning 1975-1985 and beyond, the first section of the book includes the best of the DogTown articles written and photographed by C.R. Stecyk III as they originally appeared in SkateBoarder Magazine. The second half compiles hundreds of skate images from the archives of Glen E. Friedman--many of which appear in the movie. (Stecyk and Friedman acted as executive producers and advisors for the film.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bigger, newly designed edition of the book includes many never-before-seen Friedman photos, along with a new postscript by Stecyk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617756993\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 9 Inches, Length: 9.5 Inches, Weight: 2.95 Pounds, Width: 1 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craig Stecyk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801780642099,"sku":"9781617756993","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27332163482763.jpg?v=1785980110","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/dogtown-the-legend-of-the-z-boys","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
