A poignant non-fiction comic that sheds light on the inclusive and life-changing world of skateboarding featuring brand new art from award-winning creator of In Waves, AJ Dungo.Skateboarding is hard and it hurts. No one can tell you exactly who invented it, but it has inspired generations of brave warriors to hit the curbs. This book flies through skateboarding's weird history, and grinds through AJ and Brandon's best (and worst) skateboarding memories. They're not experts, but they know how much this sport means to the communities that have embraced it and made it their own.From the first boards to the handmade zines of the punk movement, weaving through the VHS heydays and landing hard in the glitzy video game era, we're going to take you on a ride through the ages. Special shout-out to the pages where we attempt to tell you how to do tricks through the medium of comics. It's wild.

Brandon Dumais was born and raised in Southern California and studied creative writing and English literature at California State University, Long Beach. He has work published in various small press poetry collections, as well as through his own independent art zine, Remedial Art Class. AJ Dungo was born in Fort Myers, Florida. He then moved to Toronto, then settled in Los Angeles where he attended Art Center in Pasadena. When he's not making comics, he works as an illustrator and designer. And when he's not working on anything, he's working on his cutbacks on his surfboard and slappies on his skateboard.

A beautifully crafted collaboration that celebrates skateboarding across both historical and modern fisheye lenses. Dumais and Dungo have outdone themselves with subtle details that skate rats will recognize as a knowing nod, while newcomers will find plenty to discover and admire. Their love of sidewalk surfing spills over every page, managing to both inform and inspire-to get you outside, seeing the world differently.
