Book 2 - The Rise of.....
« on: May 05, 2014, 12:04 AM »
Guys

Just a brief one as I am snowed trying to get this book into a design program.

Its taken a year. I have included a dedicated section on Europe and the book is overall 40 pages larger than the first. Potential availability is mid to late June. Hoping for another UK launch or two.

Lots of new information, and lots of incredible images that have never seen the light of day

Thanks for the support

Dom

Guys thanks a lot for the support. This book has been four times the amount of work as book 1 due to the size of the scene and the amount of progression (there was no way I was going to leave anything out). I have included some extra sections in this one. One dedicated to the European scene, where a Haro team was formed in the late 80's which included names like Jason Davies, Scott Carroll (RIP), Karl Denton and racer Nicky Wrestall to name a few, and also the BLIX guys in France who waged a campaign of Haro promotion to rival any country. A dedicated section regarding the MTB development and one on skate (which is a much bigger story that I first thought) This book is 40 pages larger and I think there will be a box set option. All era riders personally contributed and I have a lot of new things to make public as well as some stunning unseen images. I'm excited as you can tell.

Nick - thanks for the feedback and the support of you all. I haven't ruled out getting to MK although some red tape here is the challenge.

Ill keep you posted on launch activity and availability.  :daumenhoch:
