Book excerpt: The skateboard decks documented in this special collection are immaculately photographed and laid-out for maximum graphic glory. In "The Bible", the visuals take center stage, but the fascinating vignettes and recollections provided by an A-list of skateboarding personalities from Tony Hawk to Mike Vallely, Mark Gonzales to Stacy Peralta bring context to the aesthetic mayhem. The board graphics within The Disposable Skateboard Bible are broken down by decade: (beginning in 1960) documenting some of the earliest deck designs; through the 70s and the game-changing advent of urethane wheels; the 80s with its ups and downs, big decks and mass-market popularity; finally, the graphic chaos of the 90s through the turn of the millennium. This book is a blue chip, must-have reference for any graphics library.
Download or read book Skateboarding and Religion written by Paul O'Connor and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-02 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ways in which religion is observed, performed, and organised in skateboard culture. Drawing on scholarship from the sociology of religion and the cultural politics of lifestyle sports, this work combines ethnographic research with media analysis to argue that the rituals of skateboarding provide participants with a rich cultural canvas for emotional and spiritual engagement. Paul O’Connor contends that religious identification in skateboarding is set to increase as participants pursue ways to both control and engage meaningfully with an activity that has become an increasingly mainstream and institutionalised sport. Religion is explored through the themes of myth, celebrity, iconography, pilgrimage, evangelism, cults, and self-help.

The Ollie forged a new identity for skateboarding after its invention in the 1970s, and it lies at the root of nearly every significant move in street skating today. This groundbreaking no-handed aerial has also affected the evolution of surfing and snowboarding, and has left a permanent impression upon popular culture and language. This, then, is the story of the Ollie, the history and technology that set the stage for its creation, the pioneers who made it happen, and the skaters who used it to start a revolution.

Download or read book The Radical Gospel written by Marcelo Caldas and published by Clube de Autores. This book was released on 2018-11-07 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible speaks of a people who were greatly rejected: the Samaritans. In both the Old and New Testaments the reference to the Samaritans was always marginalized. Jesus emphasized forgiveness and mercy to this people based on parables and their journeys to Samaritan villages. One question that should be answered is? Who are the Samaritans of our day? In an urban context, I think it would be the specific groups (the undergrounds: rockers, rappers, surfers, skaters, urban artists, etc.). Besides these there is a large contingent outside the church s lens: many poor, dependent chemists, prostitutes, homosexuals, foreigners, deaf people, among others ... That are ignored by the local church; perhaps out of prejudice, perhaps out of ignorance and the most likely not to know how to evangelize, welcome, disciple. This book aims to help the Brazilian church as well as urban missions enthusiasts to correctly achieve these segments based on the skate tribe. He is yet another inspiring guide who will help you become a better leader, to develop the ministry with trustworthy ministry to you and your team..

When a skater first learns to street skate, pop an ollie, or ride a ramp; there is a buzz of excitement! It's the thrill of riding a skateboard joined with the fun of learning a new trick. There's a similar thrill when someone begins a relationship with God. Each step into faith can brings fun and joy, like learning a new trick. Life's journey is a bit like skating through a town. There may be high ledges and the ideal double-set but is there a purpose for it all? Is there a God who created us? What happens at the end of our lives? By exploring core issue (a skater's identity, when a skate park feels so good it's almost like heaven, the near miraculous nature of some skate tricks, the dark 'slide' of life, and whether we worship) this book aims to helps skaters and non-skaters alike take a fresh look at the God who is totally for all people, who calls us to come just as we are.
