“Soviet skateboards—what we dreamed of, what we skated on, what will forever remain in our memories.”
You are holding in your hands the publication “Skateboards of the USSR,” which features photos and information about 102 models of popular and unusual skateboards, manufactured in the Soviet Union and exhibited at the Skateboarding Museum (Minsk, Belarus). And with the words of Miki Vuckovich SKATE NERDS OF THE WORLD, UNITE! If you’re a skater of a certain age and wonder how skateboarding developed on the other side of the , “Skateboards Of The USSR” by Museum Of Skateboarding (Minsk, Belarus) Founder Gleb Bentsiovski will answer all your Cold War questions. I helped with the English translation, so international readers can learn how Soviet heavy industry took on the State-ordered mandate to manufacture happiness for the people—in this case, through the manufacture of skateboards. Filling 300-pages, the book includes photos and history of more than 180 skateboards, designed and built in several Soviet Republics in the 1970s and 80s, and featuring some very eclectic designs and material choices (often, the manufacturers had no choice). But ultimately, these are the skateboards that brought skateboarding to kids in the and laid the foundation for thriving skate scenes in all of the former Soviet Republics/now independent states. Give a Follow for updates on the book’s release.
