TRACKER TRUCKS FORTY YEARS OF SKATEBOARD HISTORY BOOK

Back in 1975, the Tracker Fultrack was the first truck in history made specifically for skateboarding by skateboarders to incorporate high quality, performance and strength. Trackers truly were (and still are) the Trucks You Can Trust. On Trackers 40th anniversary, those four words continue to be the driving force of the brand. TRACKER Forty Years of Skateboard History is a hefty 388-page hardcover book full of photos and stories about Tracker and its rich history straight from the people who worked there, as well as the professional riders and photographers who made Tracker a major icon in the skateboard world.

The origin of Tracker Trucks dates back to 1974, when Tracker founders Larry Balma, Dave Dominy and Gary Dodds made the first prototypes. As Larry tells the story of Trackers formation at San Diego spots like La Costa, the Escondido Reservoir and the Kona Bowl, and about how the brands many innovative trucks and related products came to be, forty-four of Trackers top riders chime in with colorful recollections and revealing, behind-the-scenes insights. Rounding out this massive book are plenty of unpublished photos; a detailed skateboard history timeline; chapters on the Dogtown influence, Rockit Skateboards and Trackers other decks; a big scrapbook containing photos and quotes from the Tracker team; and way more.

The Tracker book is so important because future generations will be able to learn about skateboarding historywho was involved with it, and how it all happened. It will blow their minds.Christian Hosoi
