Reviews
"A rigorously researched and richly rendered ethnography of skateboarding that takes us beyond the acrobatics, lingo, and lifestyles of its elite practitioners into the economics and subcultural dynamics of the scene, and its forays into political activism and sense of community. The reader's perception of skating is flipped like the proverbial board. Far from 'skate punks,' 'pros' are elite athletes and their friends and collaborators are engines of new-media creativity. Gregory Snyder has done it again, producing another iconic study of a key subculture and in the process offers nothing less than a meditation on the nature of career, work and life."-Jonathan Ilan,Author of Understanding Street Culture: Poverty, Crime, Youth, and Cool, A personal and descriptive ethnographic ac¬count of how male skaters based in the street and associated industries continue in their various attempts to progress the sport ... Snyder's depiction of spatial usage, capital codes and benefits, as well as communal activism found within today's neo-liberal skateboarding scene is compelling., The magic by which street skateboarders execute impossible aerial tricks is wrapped in another kind of magic: their ability to transform the most mundane of urban spaces into open-air theaters of collective performance. Snyder is hip to both sorts of magic, and because he is, Skateboarding LA is a thing of beauty: urban sociology on four wheels, cultural criminology on the fly, and ethnography at its best, A rigorously researched and richly rendered ethnography of skateboarding that takes us beyond the acrobatics, lingo, and lifestyles of its elite practitioners into the economics and subcultural dynamics of the scene, and its forays into political activism and sense of community.

Gregory Snyder has done it again, producing another iconic study of a key subculture and in the process offers nothing less than a meditation on the nature of career, work and life., "Snyder provides a rigorously researched account of professional street skateboarding, containing rich descriptions of how the individual--and the group, for that matter--engage in the lived experience of skateboarding in Los Angeles."- Choice, "The magic by which street skateboardersexecute impossible aerial tricks is wrapped in another kind of magic: theirability to transform the most mundane of urban spaces into open-air theaters ofcollective performance.

Throughout the book, Snyder critiques previous research that has assumed subcultures like skateboarding are uniformly about youthful resistance to the demands of capital. Instead, he approaches the sport as a production process., An intensive and engaging study, written in vivid detail and supported by copious numbers of photographs.
