The Skateboarding Art

By Tait Colberg

More than a celebration of skateboard graphics or photography and videos, more than a personal memoir of one life on four wheels, this book argues that riding a skateboard is an art form of the same kind and stature as the traditional visual and performance arts. Like a paintbrush or a musical instrument, the skateboard has become a tool of limitless creative possibilities. Not a sport, often a crime, and for many a broader lifestyle, skateboarding transforms mundane travel and neglected spaces into extraordinary experiences and spectacles. Mullen, Gonzales, Hawk, and others count among its Masters.
