Absolutely essential reading material especially if you were fresh into skating in the early days of Plan B, 101, Blind, New Deal, Think, World Industries, Girl, Bitch, etc. An era that is easily forgotten and overlooked as skating was more of an underground niche culture in those pre-social media, corporate sponsorship, XGames, the Olympics(! Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before.

In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004. The 248 pages book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in '93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a liveable income as a professional skater was a luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated.
