{"product_id":"scarred-for-life-isbn-9780811840538","title":"Scarred for Life","description":"Skateboarding is a means of transport, a pastime, a lifestyle, an artful expression, and an ethos. Some even call it a sport. But until now, the scene has lacked an appropriate -- and accessible -- tribute. \u003ci\u003eScarred for Life\u003c\/i\u003e is an intimate, you-are-there look into the culture and history of skateboarding, as told through the voices and experiences of those who have dedicated their lives to riding a wooden plank with wheels. Eleven chapters take readers on a wild ride through the evolution (and revolution) of skateboarding -- reaching as far back as the 1950s -- and includes oral histories and terrain reports of the major styles and techniques as they emerged. One hundred dynamic photographs capture skaters doing what they do best in pools and pipes, on hills, ramps, streets, and skateparks. From the early proving grounds of California hills and pools to the chaotic streets of modern New York City, \u003ci\u003eScarred for Life\u003c\/i\u003e offers street-level talk and eye-to-eye truth-telling about skateboarders, scars and all.","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893193208037,"sku":"NP9780811840538","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/scarred-for-life-isbn-9780811840538","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
