Skateboarding isn't just a way to get around. It's a way of life-a youth culture phenomenon that's spawned an industry worth $150 million a year. Everywhere you look, skate web sites and magazines are popping up, reaching an ever-growing audience of thousands of kids per day. And if you want to hop on board and live the life, you gotta know what's up-down to the gear you wear, the music you crank, and places you hang. Go Skate takes you on a wild ride into the heart of the skateboarder's world, care of author Ben Bermudez, one of Southern California's skate experts. If you've never pulled an Ollie, Half Cab, or Pop Shuvit, Go Skate teaches you the basics to get started. Talk the talk as you learn the tricks, smell the smells, and watch the pros in action. More than just a how-to guide or dictionary of skate slang, Go Skate features full color photographs on every page and step-by-step instructions for every move-as well as hilarious tips on what not to do. But even if you've been pulling 360 kickflips since you were in diapers, Go Skate shows you the stunts you may have missed. Pros and amateurs alike can all learn something, because Go Skate is the first complete book of skateboarding, period. So sit back and take a look, and never forget the one and only rule: Enjoy it!
