PUSH: J. Grant Brittain - ‘80s Skateboarding Photography

I bought this for my husband, who was an avid skateboarder (still is) during the time this book covers. He was blown away by the photos, and recognized quite a few locations. It's one of his favorite books.

This book is so rad ,wonderful for a gift

Iconic

💯

Wonderful. Many of the classics and a few deep cuts. I hope it does well. I'd love to see another book from Grant.

One of my favorite skate books so far! Grant's new book is full of 80's nostalgia. Anyone who grew up along the coast in San Diego got to see a lot of skate history being made first hand...and Grant captured it all. The book is beautiful and gift-worthy. I love the fabric on the spine and the matte finish of the pages. It has the place of honor on our coffee table.

If you love skateboarding then you need to have this. Well worth the money.

Old school skater husband loves this book. Even though he's kept up with all the mags and websites over the years, there were still shots he had never seen before in addition to famous magazine cover photos. Great gift for a hardcore skater.

if you don't know J.Grant Brittain, but you are into skateboarding, you surely will know some of his classic images. They are among the most famous photographs in all of skateboarding history, and they are also some of the finest examples of action photography you will ever see. No digital here, all film. No way to check he had the shot, he had to make sure he had it as he fired the shutter. Grant is one of the true masters of skateboard photography and this book is essential for anyone who loves skateboarding, and a must have for the collection of all action photographers. THIS is how it is done.

Is pitty to see the work of Grant's print is such cheap quality paper, I'm sure it wasn't his choice but a publisher's choice.I wait for years for this book and with high expectations, I cannot believe GinkoPress did a cheap quality job...The bottom line is, the photos are amazing, the book is a cheap job... pitty... anyway buy it... you have no choices.

So many iconic images I remember from the skate mags back in the day.Such a beautiful book. An essential purchase for anyone who was part of the skate scene in the 80s.

If you know you know

Book looks great. But Amazon delivered it to the wrong house, did not take any photo evidence but claimed it was handed to resident. Eventually the problem was sorted the next day by myself and a neighbour.
