Stoked!

Daniel Stark invited us down to his book launch earlier this week to show off his splendid book. Daniel has carefully curated a fine collection of ‘action sports’ photography, then mashed it up with some kookie design and fun like stickers, collector cards and tattoos. Here’s the Amazon description:

STOKED: THE EVOLUTION OF ACTION SPORTS is a visual history of the world’s most exciting sports. Through daring and dramatic images, STOKED celebrates the daring and fearlessness, the beauty and glory, the heights and depths, and the speed and agility of athletes who defy the laws of nature and the limits of sanity.

Beyond the mountains, vert ramps and dirt, these sports integrate music, fashion, art and entertainment into a way of life. The heroes and icons of action sports saturate popular culture and media. Athletes like Tony Hawk, brands like Quiksilver, Billabong and Burton, video games such as Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer, and events like the ESPN X Games and the 2006 Winter Olympics, where snowboarder Shaun White was the breakout star, are blurring the line between sports and culture.
