Skate Obsession (Engels)

Bol

Rider? Trick? Trucks? Santa Cruz? Skate Obsession plunges readers into the exhilarating world of skateboarding. > Invented by surfers as a way to kill time between waves, skateboarding rose from its "anti-sport" roots in 1950s Californian youth subculture to its place today as a global cultural phenomenon. Perfect for novice riders, this book covers skateboard anatomy, a dictionary of key terms, and a guide to the tricks—the ollie, flip, grab, grind, manual, shove-it, slide, and wall ride, along with their infinite combinations and accompanied by step-by-step illustrations. Diehard skate obsessives can take a visual deep dive into all facets of the sport's history, through profiles of epic skate locations, headline skateboarders such as Tony Hawk and Nyjah Huston, and popular and cult brands that cater to skaters. Riding a balance between the rebellious spirit and mainstream appeal of skateboarding—which draws generations of young audiences worldwide—and cementing its status as a lifestyle choice that transcends even the sport itself, the ever-evolving world of skateboarding is obsessively fascinating.
