"In the tradition of Barbarian Days, [this book] is a memoir in essays of Kyle Beachy's decade-long quest to uncover the hidden meaning of skateboarding--a search that unearthed fresh insights on marriage, love, loss, and American invention ... [It] is both a rich account of a hobby and a life and collection of the varied lessons skateboarding has taught Beachy--what it continues to teach him as he struggles to find space for it as an adult, a professor, and a husband"-- Provided by publisher.
