Writer and skateboarder Jonathan Russell Clark\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eanswers this question by going straight to the sources- the skaters, photographers, commentators, and industry insiders who made such an unlikely rise to worldwide juggernaut possible. Skateboarders are their own historians, which means the real history of skating exists not in archives or texts but in a hodgepodge of random and iconic videos, tattered photographs, and, mostly, in the blurry memories of the people who lived through it all. From California beaches to Tokyo 2020, the skateboard has outlasted its critics to form a global community of creativity, camaraderie, and unceasing progression.\u003cbr\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46629826920606,"sku":"UBD-9781501367489","price":19.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781501367489.jpg?v=1774222435","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781501367489","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
