Skateboarding beyond the tricks

Skateboarding: Stories and Secrets surveys the sport through its eccentricities and lesser-known episodes. The description ranges from extreme records, notable falls and unusual ramps to brand secrets, competition scandals, military skateboard prototypes and boards that have sold for striking sums. It also emphasizes the creativity and rebellious spirit associated with skaters who have shaped the sport. Together, these subjects frame skateboarding as a culture with stories spanning invention, competition, risk and collecting—not simply a set of skills performed on a board.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Skateboarders interested in stories about the sport’s culture and history.
  • Readers curious about unusual ramps, records, equipment and competition controversies.
  • People interested in the creative and rebellious aspects of skateboarding.

Book overview

This book is a mind-blowing journey through the most unusual, surprising, and hidden corners of skate culture.

Here, you won't just find tricks and legends, but real stories blending madness, risk, innovation, and anecdotes that feel straight out of a movie.

From the most extreme records, legendary slams, and the world's weirdest ramps, to brand secrets, competition scandals, military skateboard prototypes, boards sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the obsession of skaters who changed history through sheer creativity and rebellion.

A book for those who skate, those who dream of skating, and anyone who wants to discover the truth behind a sport that's so much more than rolling on four wheels.
