Skateboard Design and Construction: How Your Board Gets Built

By Justin Hocking

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.
