- Summary
- Written by an avid and enthusiastic skateboarder, this fun series introduces the reader to the colorful world of skateboarding. In a reader-friendly, conversational style, all aspects of the sport are covered, including instructions on how to do tricks, how to safely build obstacles, and how to petition town governments to build community skate parks. Also presented are profiles of the most famous skate park designers and builders around. With the growing popularity of the sport, this series will be a huge hit with readers. The ever-growing popularity of skateboarding has made skate parks almost as common as basketball courts and baseball diamonds. However, there are still towns and communities that don't provide kids with a place to skate, and this book, through a combination of civic awareness and passion for sport shows readers how to remedy that absence. Covering skills from organizing a group to meeting with town leaders, this book offers practical information and valuable life lessons.
