More than a celebration of skateboard graphics or photography and videos; more than a personal memoir of one life on four wheels; this book argues that riding a skateboard is an art form of the same kind and stature as the traditional visual and performance arts. Like a paintbrush or a musical instrument; the skateboard has become a tool of limitless creative possibilities. Not a sport; often a crime; and for many a broader lifestyle; skateboarding transforms mundane travel and neglected spaces into extraordinary experiences and spectacles. Mullen; Gonzales; Hawk; and others count among its Masters.
