A bold look at the creative, controversial, and vibrant history of skateboarding, and the amazing skaters who continually reinvent it

Skateboarding isn't just a recreational activity, but a professional sport, lifestyle, art form, and cultural phenomenon. The striking book Four Wheels and a Board captures its spirited history, iconic skateboarders, diverse community, and the palpable passion of the people who love it. It includes contributions from the most influential names in the game, including Rodney Mullen, Tony Hawk, Mimi Knoop, and more.

The gorgeously designed book presents objects, artifacts, and photographs from the Smithsonian's collections that exemplify the vitality and innovation of skate culture. Book chapters are organized chronologically by decade from the '60s to present day, starting with 20th-century surfboards, moving through technological changes, the disappearance of skate parks, the rise of social media and collaborations, and ending with never-before-seen objects from the 2020 Summer Olympics, where skateboarding made its historic Olympic debut.

Largely invented by youth, skateboarding has attracted punks, misfits, and dreamers looking for somewhere to belong. The book features skateboards and skaters who open dialogues about race, the gender binary, queerness, the displacement of Native people, and so much more, shining a light on people and places not often represented in traditional skateboard history. Four Wheels and a Board is a fresh look at a transformative culture, and one hell of a ride.

Very impressive for the money
I ordered this not really knowing what to expect, they didn't have my size in the color I wanted but I had to try it anyway, so I went with light grey. The suit is a bit snug, I would have to lose a few pounds to fit in it properly and I ordered a size up, so it does run small. That said, for the price I can't believe how well made it is and how nice it feels the pants are great, they fit well and have elasticity to them, the tie is a run of the mil tie but ok, it is fine and the jacket, I have bought jackets that cost me over $300 but this one came with the pants and tie for $80, how can anyone complain about that? Perfect for prom, date night a wedding or funeral, if you don't wear suits and just need one or two in the closet, this is for you.
