A highly-visual celebration and cultural overview of skateboarding
through the voices of the biggest names in the sportSkateboarding
is more popular than ever. In the last 5 years, and especially,
since the 2020 Olympics, where skateboarding debuted as an official
sport, skateboarding has gone mainstream, and it will keep getting
bigger and bigger.The sport was put on the map in the late 70s when
legendary skater Rodney Mullen created one of the most famous
skateboarding tricks, the ground Ollie, and became popularized in
the early 80s when Thrasher magazine, with its counterculture vibe,
was established, and, then, in 1982, a little known skater named
Tony Hawk came onto the scene at just 14 years old, changing the
face of the sport forever. Since then, skateboarding has gained
traction, but was always portrayed from a one-dimensional
perspective, when in reality, the sport and the stories of
prominent skaters are extremely diverse.Enter Skate Board Life.
Through 65 dynamic profiles of skaters and over 100 striking
images, Dr. Neftalie Williams reveals how skateboarding has
permeated every inch of our global culture-Media, Art, Fashion,
Music, Business, and Education. From the legends: Tony Hawk and
Paul Rodriguez, to the Olympians: Nyjah Huston and Sky Brown, to
the artists: Mark McKee, most celebrated skateboarding artist of
all time, to the activists: Briana King, Vogue model, artist
skater, and women's and queer skateboarding advocate. Never before
has this mega-roster of skaters been featured together.In addition
to the profiles, there will be interstitials that include: famous
skate parks around the world and the coolest looking boards. Skate
