It's hard to believe that almost 17 years have passed since Warren Bolster left this world. When I look back on the extraordinary odyssey of my time with Warren and his work, it seems almost surreal. Warren's vision and drive created "the bible" of skateboarding. His commitment to documenting all types of skateboarding and skaters has stayed with me for close for almost five decades. It is a vision that I tried to capture as publisher and editor of Concrete Wave Magazine. His devotion to building and documenting skateboarding almost consumed him. By 1978, the editorial reigns were passed. However, the legacy of Warren's work within skateboarding has not been forgotten. Warren Bolster didn't just capture the rebirth of skateboarding; he captured its true soul. Skaters worldwide owe a tremendous amount of gratitude and respect to Warren Bolster, who created so much magic within the skateboarding world. Thank you for inspiring me, along with millions of other skateboarders!
