Concrete and Smog Book
"An important part of BMX freestyle history" - Bob Haro
"One of the most talented--and youngest--photographers in BMX" - John Ker/BMX PLUS!
424 pages from my lost archive of BMX freestyle photos spanning 1984-1985. Take a nostalgic trip back to the mid-80's, when we were young and BMX was life.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to shipping, these books many have small inperfections on them.
Includes coverage of some of the earliest AFA freestyle and King of the Skateparks contests, rad Pipeline sessions, and a behind the scenes perspective on the sponsored pros you haven’t seen before. Bonus section from 1988 delivers more AFA action and the infamous Meet the Street freestyle street contest which changed BMX forever.
More than a photobook, CONCRETE AND SMOG tells my story of catapulting from young BMX fanatic (and middle school dork) to one of only a half-dozen photographers behind the skatepark fence, working alongside BMX photo legends Bob Osborn and John Ker. Designed with the analog aesthetic of my original fanzines, the book weaves unseen photos with contemporary writings and vintage content into a four pound book of 1980s BMX freestyle history.
600+ original photos (over 500 never seen)

Do the bikes arrive pre-built or will they need to be assembled?
Bikes arrive in a flatpack state and require the Handlebars, Seat, Pedals, Accessories and adjustment by a qualified cycle mechanic for the warranty to be valid. We do offer our Ready2Ride service where we build the bike here at the shop from our mechanics, adjust everything and keep your warranty intact, all you need to do is turn the bars straight and attach the pedals and you are ready to shred! There is an additional cost due to the oversize box and you can find this as an option on the product page or contact us.
