Book Description
The editors of Heckler magazine have assembled hundreds of photographs, copious interviews, and profiles of the most infamous, and not-so infamous, figures in skateboarding, snowboarding, and music of the eighties and nineties in a book that documents the formation of an independent era. They include the biggest names on the scene including: Jake Burton * Tony Alva * Ian MacKaye of Fugazi * Victoria Jealouse * Tony Hawk * Lance Mountain * Duane Peters * Craig Kelly * Shaun Palmer * John Cardlel * Noah Salasnek * Moby * Bob Burnquist * Metallica * Carabeth Burnside * Steve Albini * Public Enemy * Terry Kidwell * Christian Hosoi * Steve Caballero * Jim Rippey * Mike Valleley * Mike and Tina Basich * Glen Friedman * Mark Gonzalez * Chris Senn * Ed Templeton * Bonne & Jim Zellers * Tom Burt * Todd Richards * Mike Ranquet * Simon Woodstock * Green Day * Sleater-Kinney * Michelle Taggart * Shawn Farmer * Dave Seaone * The Hatchett Bros. * Cynthia Connolly Heckler magazine is the mouthpiece for a thriving subculture of skateboarders, snowboarders, and music fans - a proud and incredibly active youth culture that continues to grow but whose formative independent era is ending. From the humble days of suburban leisure activities and punk rock for bored youth to the advent of "alternative" rock and professional sponsorships for board youth, Declaration of Independents: Skateboarding, Snowboarding and Music: An Intersection of Cultures charts the history of this movement close-up, with the people who made it all happen. John Baccigaluppal, Sonny Mayugba, and Chris Camel have produced Heckler since the early 1990s, experiencing and observing the upheavals that the decade has wrought. Declaration of Independents puts their years of front-line writing and photography together in one master document of the forces that will continue to shape youth culture for years to come.

A review from the Disabled Skater Himself,
By Eric Franks (Currently: Phoenix, Arizona (U.S.A.) originally from Valley Springs, California, and Livermore, California.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Declaration of Independents: Snowboarding, Skateboarding + Music: An Intersection of Cultures (Paperback)
Aloha All, I hope all you Canadian skaters out there enjoy this book. I know I do! Why, you ask? Cause I am in it! No joke. That's right, my name is Eric Franks (AKA The Disabled Skater). I still skate 7 years after the photo, and interview. It was by far, one of the best days of my life... The picture of me holding my REAL Keith Hufanegal Deck, standing in my walker (four-wheeled type contraption) was taken at Yuba City Skatepark, in Yuba City, California (U.S.A.), in April, of 98. I was there with my mom, (Lynne) and my two good friends: Jason and Gerald Lifur. As it happened, I was just cruising around, and, Sonny Mayiugba (aka SM) noticed me, and came up to me asking, "do you mind if I take some pictures of you skating, and do an interview..." of course, I said yes! But, he also had to ask my mom. (cause I was under age at the time) Anyway, he actually took a pic of me skating up the side of a pyramid (at the park). The pic of me on the ramp was not published in the DOI? (For whatever reason). The pic of me actually skating is found in the magazine though. I think you can still get a copy of the issue via www.heckler.com or possibly EBAY, if they don't send you one? (for whatever reason) Then, about a year ago, one of my friends, who owns a skateshop in California, called Unity, told me I was in this book! Then he went and showed me. Since then I have autographed a half dozen copies! I don't know how easy it is to get a copy in Canada? But in the U.S. you have to usually order it. I had to. Heckler never sent me any copy of the mag, or book. Lastly, all the other skaters, snowboarders, bands, many of whom I looked up to (and still do) are awsomely profiled in this book, such as Metallica, Ian Mackaye of Minor Threat (R.I.P.) and the still together, Fugazi, also appearances by: Green Day, Public Enemy, Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Duane Peters (of the band: U.S. Bombs) Steve Caballero, Christian Hasoi, and tons more! As always, keep on doing what you love, and do it the best you can. Live to skate
Yours truly in everything skating, love, unity, and Canadian, Eric N. Franks (The Disabled Skater) AKA: The Canarican (Canadian American) (I Will be someday)
