No Comply…Skateboarding Speaks on Authority

It’s not often that I get to review a skateboard product that’s a book. Skateboarders need to write more books.

Well, I haven’t read this book yet, maybe I will when I get a free copy (hint, hint) after it comes out and then I’ll actually write a review, but the idea itself is interesting, and the authors are all of the highest caliber.

The website says…

No Comply…Skateboarding Speaks on Authority is the first in a multi-volume series of skater authored social commentary anthologies to be published by Fun Not Fame Productions.

Other installments include:

Skateboarding Speaks on Religion
