Skateboarding Design and Construction (Power Skateboarding)

By Justin Hocking

Book Overview

Did you know that the first skateboards were built by kids, not inventors? Adults eventually improved the design and mass-produced them to satisfy the need for this growing sport. Through full-color photos and detailed chapters, this book tells the story of how skateboards become the works of art that skaters use today. From wheels and trucks, to the 7-ply sandwich construction, right through to screen printing the designs on the board, this book gives enthusiasts a unique view into the process of creating a board.
