Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. DogTown: The Legend of the Z-Boys BY C. R. Stecyk III , Glen E. Friedman; 2000, STATED 1ST EDITION. Hardcover. In the early 1970s, the sport of skateboarding had so waned from its popularity in the 1960s that it was virtually nonexistent. In the DogTown area of west Los Angeles, a group of young surfers known as the Zephyr Team (Z-Boys) was experimenting with new and radical moves and styles in the water, which they translated to the street. When competition skateboarding returned in 1975, the Z-Boys turned the skating world on its head. DogTown: The Legend of the Z-Boys is a truly fascinating case study of how an underground sport ascended in the world. These are the stories and images of a time that not only inspired a generation but changed the face of the sport forever. This volume has been described as the DogTown textbook and an indispensable companion piece to the Sony Pictures Classics film Dogtown and Z-Boys. Now spanning 1975 1985 and beyond, the first section of the book includes the best of the DogTown articles written and photographed by C.R. Stecyk III as they originally appeared in SkateBoarder Magazine. The second half compiles hundreds of skate images from the archives of Glen E. Friedman many of which appear in the movie. (Stecyk and Friedman acted as executive producers and advisors for the film.).

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The definitive record of the surfing iconoclast who became an iconThe surfing iconoclast who became an icon, Miki Dora was the epitome of 1960s beach culture. His dark good looks were the envy of Malibu. His talent earned him trophies (which he disdained) and the nickname Da Cat. And in the end, when he didn't like the commercial direction of the sport he helped define, he turned his back on the beach, wandered the world, served time in jail, and, finally in 2002, suffering from pancreatic cancer returned to his father's house in Montecito, California to die at age 67. A Malibu graffiti that appeared during his years on the road sums up his role in the surfing imagination and still holds true: Dora Lives. Years in the making and compiled with the cooperation of Dora while he was alive and his family after his death, Dora Lives is the definitive record of the legend. Transcribed interviews with Dora and texts by former Surfer magazine editor Drew Kampion and writer C.R. Stecyk are combined with nearly 100 photos and stills from photographers, filmmakers, and Dora's personal albums.The story starts out in Budapest, Hungary, where Miklos Dora was born in 1934, follows the child emigre to Hollywood High (except when the surf was up), and finds him at the center of the post-Gidget surf boom of the 60s. At that time, Dora stunt-doubled in a few films and competed when he felt like it, but mostly he embraced the hedonist milieu and burnished his antihero legend, culminating in a mid-wave mooning of the judges at the 1967 Malibu Invitational. Shortly after, he left for points (and point breaks) abroad in France, Indonesia, Australia and Madagascar until 2001, when he returned to the West Coast to die. The surfing iconoclast who became an icon, Miki Dora was the epitome of '60s beach culture. "Dora Lives" is the authorized biography of the surfing legend, based on interviews and texts by Kampion and Stecyk and featuring nearly 100 photos and four gatefolds.
