Book Report > (UP)Rising Sonz!
The sun sets and the sun rises in each and every city. In between these shades of gray, there are colorful and inspirational people that drive sub- and pop-cultures by following their passions. (UP)RISING SONZ! is an homage to these creative individuals. The common language is art and the thread that ties them together is skateboarding - (UP)Rising Sons!
“With (UP)Rising Sonz! we wanted people to get a sense of energy that we all felt, the first time we set foot on a skateboard. . . . It is the feel of freedom and the energy of creativity that never leave, the soul is what creates a universal bond. Our goal with this book was to share with others the people and things that inspire us and move us to live life and create beautiful things.” − Scott Kinsey
