  ABOUT "THE SKATING WILDER"

"Skateboarding is hard and it hurts. 

We couldn’t tell you exactly who invented it, but it has inspired generations of wild kids to hit the streets. Join us as we fly through skateboarding’s weird history, and grind through our best (and worst) skate memories. We’re not experts, but we know how much this wooden toy means to the communities that have embraced it and made it their own. Skating Wilder is a new book written by Brandon Dumais and Illustrated by AJ Dungo about the history of skateboarding."
