    • Perfect Way to Deliver Skateboarding History!
Format: Paperback
Copy provided by the publisher There are always young readers who skateboard, but there are very few books that tie in to this interest. Having a graphic nonfiction title is a perfect way to deliver this interesting history. While most people know about the tie-in to California surf culture and the 1960s resurgence in the sport, the early 1900s background may be surprising. Creating ones own toys was always fun, so seeing boxes and old roller skate wheels made into scooters, and boards used for baking buns made into skateboards didn't surprise me at all, but I don't know that children today produce as many of their own amusements. The different technological developments are interesting; I need to know more about what a clay wheel is, since my involvement with skateboards didn't happen until the appearance of urethane wheels. There was a lot of fun history of which I was not aware; a drought in Southern California in 1976, for example, led to a lot of empty swimming pools that were used to develop new tricks. Parkour style outdoor skating utilizing stairs and railings in public areas heated up in the 1980s, and the X Games and Tony Hawk took hold in the 1990s and early 2000s. The illustrations all give a great feel for the styles and fashions of the time periods, and there is plenty of detail given to the evolution of skateboards themselves. There's even a bit of information about Vans shoes; I didn't realize that they were associated with skateboarding because the soles had extra gripping capabilities! This ends with a glossary, a few websites to visit, and a very helpful index. My students will be very excited to see this book. Now, if there could be some middle grade novels about skateboarding like Spangler's Kickturn. Other than a few old Matt Christopher titles and some Jake Maddox books, there are few other choices. ... show more
