ABOUT
An Ollie is a skateboarding trick where the rider jumps without using their hands. A "Dirt Ollie" is the challenge of performing this trick on the cracked and dusty streets of Ulaanbaatar.
Dirt Ollies documents the Mongolian journey of 17 passionate skateboarders from eight different countries. The photographs capture a vivid and intimate portrayal of the city's architecture, its hidden skateable spaces, its residents, and the unique rhythm of urban life—all seen through the eyes of the skaters.
This book is not just about Mongolia; it's about culture, subculture, and the underground architecture that skateboarders turn into their playground. Included with the book is the DVD Mongolian Tyres, a remarkable film shot during the journey, offering a skateboarder's perspective on Mongolia.
