Description
Skateboard: A History in Its Own Words The skateboard's journey from a menacing fad to an Olympic sport is a story told through its own community. Writer and skateboarder Jonathan Russell Clark delves into the lives of skaters, photographers, commentators, and industry insiders who shaped this unlikely rise. Through a collection of videos, photographs, and personal memories, Clark uncovers the skateboard's history, from California beaches to Tokyo 2020. The result is a global community driven by creativity, camaraderie, and unceasing progression. Published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic, Object Lessons offers a unique perspective on this ordinary thing that has become an extraordinary part of our culture.
