‘This book holds the comprehensive evolution of getting radical. How, when, why, and who, told with a genuine passion for the art of skateboarding. Borden continues to be the scribe of skateboarding’s history, perceptively documenting skate culture’s influences on wider society.’
Oliver Percovich, Founder of Skateistan

‘Borden’s work is as varied and bedazzling as the most expert of skaters. He addresses skateboarding’s romantic, subcultural past through its global, social, and political present. Throughout, his voice is readable and approachable, a fine balance of the committed academic and beguiled practitioner. The result is nothing short of indispensable.’
Kyle Beachy, Associate Professor, Roosevelt University
