Built to Grind: 25 Years of Hardcore Skateboarding

Rating:
Summary: A Must Have Book for Skateboarders.
Review: This book is chock full of excellent photos from the beginning of company to now. It does an excellent job of explaining the mystique and fanatical devotion to Independent Trucks. "Bikers have Harleys, Skateboarders have Independent Trucks" pretty much sums it up. More than just a product, Independent Trucks and their iron cross logo have become an icon for more than 2 generations of skateborders. The book details the development of the product and the fanatical devotion that followed. This is the ultimate coffee table book for any skater or skate fan.
