Skateboarders Companion Magazine

£4.99
Skateboarding emerged out of the Californian surf scene during the early to mid 1960s, and it wasn’t long before magazines were established to ensure this supposed trend was adequately represented at the newsstand. As ‘sidewalk surfing’ culture gradually matured, so too did the publications that reflected it. Over the course of the 1970s and the 1980s, magazines crossing the Atlantic depicted what was happening at the cutting edge of skateboarding progression. In the UK, domestic titles showcased groundbreaking tricks taking place on home turf, but they also granted an untold number of passionate enthusiasts their 15 minutes of printed fame. In doing so, pioneering British magazines built up a strong sense of community around themselves and helped to connect the scene as a whole. ? This all encompassing ethos was woven into the fabrics of earlier British publications such as Skateboard!, R.A.D., Sidewalk and Document, all of whom paved the way for the captivating skate media found in the UK today.
