Synopsis

Tyres, mics, mohawks and halfpipes - by bringing together aspects of BMX, Punk and underground youth culture, this collection reveals the freedom of those that do things their own way and live life from the heart. Lodown Magazine calls the book "a testament to Ricky Adam's ability to capture the optimism, energy and enthusiasm of a generation that prefers to live a counter lifestyle."

'It's hard to explain, it just felt right and when I began to see the results it pushed me to take more. At the time no one else was taking photos at shows, so apart from enjoying taking photos as time went on I also felt it was important to document certain aspects of the punk scene that I was involved with'
