“This book is dedicated to those that kept skating alive. It is a testament to the perseverance and talents of a rare breed, the ones that kept at it against all odds and paved the way for generations to come.” – Tony Hawk

From unknown teenage skaters to trailblazers like Jaime Reyes and a double-page spread taken during the filming of KIDS in Washington Square Park.
FULL BLEED was edited by Ivory Serra, Andre Razo and Alex Corporan. Alex is a pro skateboarder, photographer and native New Yorker. In the mid-90s Alex managed Supreme’s first skate shop for 10 years when it was their only location. Supreme would go on to become a two billion-dollar streetwear brand. Around the same time Alex appeared as himself in Larry Clark’s 1995 cult classic film Kids. Larry would later contribute photos to FULL BLEED. Today Alex is revered as the virtuosic photographer, skateboarder and curator who co-created, then updated the only truly definitive, essential photobook of New York City skateboarding – the scene that shook youth culture, fashion, streetwear, film, music and art.
“Captures the beautiful grit of New York City’s skateboard culture.”
“Full Bleed captures the sensation of flight and movement within heavy, confining spaces, and the sweeping colors of the boards, the graffiti, and the riders as they fly between the gray sky and grayer pavement.”
“Corporan is a storyteller, and with FULL BLEED the pages leap with icons and history, every shot fought for.”
