Sobre o livro
The ancient Polynesians understood this: life is better when you surf. Over the centuries, their sport evolved with developments in surfboard design and eventually made its way onto dry land through the innovation of the skateboard: a surfboard with wheels. Urban dwelling sidewalk surfers understand that life is better when you skateboard. Ask a skateboarder why they ride and answers vary from "I dunno, because it's fun," to long, heady explanations of the connection between a skateboarder, skateboard, and terrain. The common denominator is that skateboarding feels good. Recently, the sect of skateboarding known as "longboarding" has begun to grow and is making its way into the city. Longboarding takes place on streets, sidewalks, alleyways and anything paved. Look at a municipality, designed to facilitate daily life, transportation, and economy, as a blank canvas for longboarding.
Ride towards water, it collects at the bottom of hills.
Understand ridges: cruise on top or descend the sides?
Is the road or sidewalk smoother?
Pedestrians create a slalom course.
Cross-step on silky asphalt.
Kick turn on banked walls.
If you like it, skate it.
Seattle is a conglomeration of hills and for those used to skating flat places the city can be daunting to ride: speed is easy to find and hard to manage, traffic is high, rain dampens riding, and pavement quality varies. All these problems can be mitigated strategically. Get a taste of what it's like to surf the concrete of the Emerald City. The possibilities are endless.
