urethane dreaming: Australia's Skateboarding History - the concept

David Pang: 1 January 2008

An overview of the project: 

To create/edit (with your help /contributions) the definitive coffee table book on skateboarding in Australia, with a key principle to be unbiased toward any sector of skateboarding and coverage (individual, company, location, photographer, writeretc).   Vertical, street willbe the majority of the focus but other areas (luge, slalom, cross country, downhill etc) will not be overlooked.

My concept is to implement this publication in a co-operative manner in which all contributors accept the risk in this publication, but if the final product is the quality and success that I hope itwill be, we will have all agreed on the percentage contribution that we haveall made towards this product and we will share the fruits of the publications success, even if that is the realisation of a quality and comprehensive publication of our history.

The baseline- standard I am aiming for is:
