Book Synopsis Skateboarding and the City by : Iain Borden

Download or read book Skateboarding and the City written by Iain Borden and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Skateboarding is both a sport and a way of life. Creative, physical, graphic, urban and controversial, it is full of contradictions – a billion-dollar global industry which still retains its vibrant, counter-cultural heart. Skateboarding and the City presents the only complete history of the sport, exploring the story of skate culture from the surf-beaches of '60s California to the latest developments in street-skating today. Written by a life-long skater who also happens to be an architectural historian, and packed through with full-colour images – of skaters, boards, moves, graphics, and film-stills – this passionate, readable and rigorously-researched book explores the history of skateboarding and reveals a vivid understanding of how skateboarders, through their actions, experience the city and its architecture in a unique way.
