Review

"Jonathan Mehring’s first book, called Skate the World, featuring images he’s made over a period of 15 years of skateboarding in unexpected places all over the globe." --Photo District News

"A new book of photography provides us with a novel way of looking at the world." --Hemispheres 

"Beyond these impressive landscapes and hair-raising tricks, Mehring documents the spirit of skateboarding culture found in unassuming small cities and towns: quiet moments where people find community and solace in a pastime that can be a distraction from hardship, and the skateboard a badge of camaraderie." --Vanity Fair 

"Skate the World chronicles skateboarders grinding, ollying, and catching record-breaking air on nearly every continent." --Daily Beast

"Jonathan Mehring's Skate the World (National Geographic) is sick." --Vanity Fair
