I read this book back in 1994 when I first got into skateboa
This book basically got me interested in skateboarding back in 1994 when I was 8. It's out of date, but this book has great photos of skaters like the now imprisoned Christian Hosoi and Eric Dressen. I'd advise this book to any collector, its a good book.

The best skateboarding book yet . . .
Interestingly outdated, this book shows some of the 'old-shool' stufftoday's hyped up and played out skaters just don't understand.

The Book RULES!!
The book was awsome! its my new bible, it has all the tricks (exept for acouple) that i know of.

Good report book
This is a good book if you're doing a research paper or report onskateboarding. It's alright for learning how to do tricks since the tricksare outdated but fun.

This is one of the better skateboarding book
This book including some of the older tricks: the flatland freestyle, which is rarely found in any of the recent skateboarding books.It's all colour and plenty of pictures.There is not enough pictures of the pros but if that's what you want, you would go and get Transworld Skateboarding.This bood is very refreshing.It's not prefect but by comparison, this is one of the better skateboarding books out there. ...

Product Description
Sailing down railings . . . Soaring over obstacles . . Spinning off ledges. The extreme sport of street skateboarding can at times seem like flying, and no one takes street skateboarding to the extreme like Paul Rodriquez Jr. From the time he was a young boy, Paul had one goal in mind: to be the best street skateboarder in the world. His first challenge was convincing his father, Latino comedian Paul Rodriguez Sr., that street skateboarding is his life. Paul has worked hard to make his dream come true, and his hard work has paid off. He has won many skateboarding competitions, including Slam City Jam and the X Games. The future holds many possibilities for this talented young man, but one thing is sure: Whatever he does, Paul Rodriguez Jr. will take it to the extreme! ... Read more
