Generally photos are credited but most are old scans so if you see one of your photos and wish to be credited or have it removed please get in contact.All video parts are captured from original tapes/DVDs and then uploaded to the Skateboarding Is… YouTube channel, although this may change due to the music rights checking they have introduced.

What's on the left is pretty much an archive of my "Visual Sound" feature in the Euro skateboard magazine Kingpin, plus a bunch of random bonuses.

They enlisted real experts in twisted planes: skateboarders. "We spoke to them about surface textures and the areas they prefer," architect Simon Ewings says.“
