About Me:
No Comply: Skateboarding Speaks on Authority is a book published by FunNotFame Productions and Travis Jensen and illustrated in chief by Dale Dreiling.
Intended as an introductory volume, No Comply is a collaboration of anecdotes by skateboarders from assorted backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, and education levels. The central concepts are authority and liberty as seen through the eyes of your average skateboarder. Contributions arrived quickly and the book went to press in just thirteen weeks. of sixty-three contributors, a dozen hold college degrees. The ensemble is varied and contributors include professional skaters of all stripe, students, shop owners, lawyers, college professors, photographers, artists, writers, and one engineer. No Comply examines the relationship skateboarders have with their urban environments, and the inevitable conflicts that arise as society adapts to a phenomenon that blew up far too quickly to prepare for. There are all the obligatory animosities and f-bombs you might expect from such a title, but the relationship between skateboarders and authority also gets the unexpected scholarly treatment it deserves from this intellectual cesspool.
