| skating primo: The Skateboarder's Journal - Lives on Board , 2009 A piece of wood, two trucks, four wheels ... a skateboard. You start by rolling down a sidewalk, and end up rolling through life. For some the ride stops at the end of the street; for others the ride never ends. This book was written by those for whom the ride is never-ending: by the 15-year-old grom who falls asleep dreaming of skateboarding; by the 40-something pad dad you see at the local skatepark; by the women whose stories have never been told; and by the 73-year-old architect who didn't begin skateboarding until the age of 65. Over 170 stories and 200+ photographs. The 'everyman/everywoman' are accompanied by contributions from some 'notable' skateboarders, and other personalities from the skateboard world ... Some of the great skateboarding photographers have graciously contributed to the book.--Description from www.amazon.com |
| skating primo: Stalefish Sean Mortimer, 2008-04-30 How is being a professional skateboarder different from being, say, a professional golfer? More scabs, for one. Veteran skate journalist Sean Mortimer has interviewed the top skaters of all time to answer that question in meaningful and often humorous ways.

| skating primo: Skateboarding and Philosophy Joshua Heter, Josef Thomas Simpson, 2025-03-19 The histories of skateboarding and philosophy are not entirely dissimilar. Skateboarding got its start in the middle of the 20th century and quickly garnered a reputation as an activity that both attracted and encouraged a sort of lawless rebellion. In a similar vein, not long after its inception, philosophy was most commonly known for its out-of-the-box questioning of authority. However, both skating and philosophy eventually crept into the mainstream of society and have since earned their place as permanent fixtures in the culture. With all they have in common, it's only appropriate that the two should intersect in this book. This collection of 19 new essays (written by philosophers who are also skaters and skating enthusiasts) covers a wide variety of topics important to skating such as its culture, politics, history, art, and status as a sport. If you're a skater (or someone who simply appreciates skating), and you're interested in thinking a bit more carefully--a bit more deeply--about skateboarding, this book was put together to help you do just that. |
| skating primo: Skateboarding Legends Ava Thompson, AI, 2025-02-19 Skateboarding Legends explores the captivating story of how skateboarding evolved from a niche pastime to a global phenomenon, celebrating the innovators who defied gravity and shaped its culture. The book highlights key figures in skateboarding history, illustrating the ingenuity and dedication required to push the boundaries of what's possible on four wheels. Readers will discover how skateboarding's roots in 1950s surfing culture led to the development of groundbreaking tricks, and how these innovations influenced art, music, and fashion. The book progresses through distinct eras, beginning with the early pioneers and their initial innovations, then focusing on the rise of vert, street, and freestyle skateboarding. It examines the competitive excellence achieved by skateboarding legends and their lasting impact on contemporary culture. The book offers a comprehensive look at skateboarding's multifaceted nature, emphasizing the human element by sharing the struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs that shaped these legendary careers. By presenting archival photographs, competition results, and firsthand accounts, Skateboarding Legends provides a unique and valuable perspective for anyone interested in skateboarding, sports biography, or the stories of individuals who have transformed a simple activity into a global phenomenon. This narrative celebrates the dedication, resilience, and innovative spirit of skateboarding legends, offering inspiration for achieving personal and professional goals. |
| skating primo: The Skateboarding Art Tait Colberg, 2012-10-29 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. |

| skating primo: Carlsbad Jeannie Sprague-Bentley, 2009 Once a small coastal community known for avocados and flower fields, Carlsbad has grown into a sprawling suburban city, with a small beach-town feel that still maintains ties to its roots. The discovery of its mineral wells in 1885, and the subsequent naming of the city after the famed European spa in Karlsbad, Bohemia, put Carlsbad on the map as a world-class resort destination. Miles of beautiful beaches, and three lagoons located within its boundaries, have shaped Carlsbad into a recreational destination as well. The Flower Fields, with vibrant rows of colorful ranunculus, now serves as a reminder of the past and a link to the future, as shopping and businesses have grown up around them, helping Carlsbad evolve into the diverse, progressive city it is today. |
