The Story of UK Skateboarding Elsewhere Book

UK skateboarding in the late 80s through the early 2000s was gnarly and full of character.

Streets, parks, and empty car parks became proving grounds for crews figuring out tricks, style, and how to stand out.

Elsewhere dives into that era, showing what it really looked like before everything went digital and the scene became organized.

Packed with photos, interviews, and artwork, the book gives a clear sense of the people, the spots, the boards, and the fashion that defined the period.

Some pictures will be familiar, but many come straight from private archives or have never been seen before, offering a fresh look at UK skating while it was still carving out its identity.

The book also explores the culture around the skating, how crews connected, how local shops became hubs, and how the scene evolved over fifteen years.

It is about the streets, the tricks, the style, and the personalities that made UK skateboarding what it was.

Elsewhere will be available in skate shops and bookstores worldwide this May.

The cover features Curtis McCann at Meanwhile 2 in 1991, mid-trick, capturing the creativity and style that made the period memorable.

Elsewhere is not just a book for skaters; it is a record of a scene, a community, and a moment in time that shaped the way UK skateboarding looks and feels today.
