Dom Forde - Ramps, Pools, Ponds and Pipes, Self published / Famous Visual Services, 2015, Melbourne

 

Softcover, spiral bound, printed in 2 colours using a riso printer, design by Dom Forde, signed. First edition 50 copies, second 100 copies.

Prior to the glossy skate magazines, and pro-tours of the late 1980s skateboarding’s popularity ebbed and flowed. A lack of facilities meant early skaters had to build their own ramps and locate empty swimming pools, ponds and pipes to develop their skills.

Ramps, Pools, Ponds and Pipes is a selection of images from the photographic archive of pioneering Melbourne skater Noel Forsyth. The images are grouped by the inventive locations used by the first generation of skaters in Victoria, designed and published by Melbourne-based designer Dom Forde.
