BOOK INTRO

This book and the associated film "Mongolian Tyres" capture a visual experience through the capitol of Mongolia and its surrounding landscapes. Based on a photo of a giant skatepark in the center of Ulaanbaatar that was taken two years beforehand, a group of eleven skateboarders took the challenge in July 2004 and found themselves face to face with the ruins of the park, that had been torn down just three weeks earlier.
 
A voyage through the joy and pain of skateboarding, random architecture,
endless countryside and the knowledge of how to ollie on dirt.

Yeah i was talking to Julien about it a while ago, he was super stoked on going there, they weren't even sure there'd be anything to skate, well anything that wasn't just ganrly rubble, but he said it was one of the best trips he's been on.

Also the Anitz big push should be out pretty soon all the Blueprint stuff is really sick from that wee mission
