« on: October 23, 2017, 01:50:57 PM »
Sup gods Im writing my thesis paper and skateboarding is in the mix of it, I was wondering where could I find a good webpage, book or whatever that would help me out with skateboarding history. Thanks a lot in advance!

Thrasher backlog is available on their website. About 30 years worth of mags.
