If you need a suggestion for your next paper, or arguments to convince your parents that what you are doing with the wooden board is not complete nonsense, then maybe "Skateboard Studies" by Konstantin Butz (lecturer at KHM) and Christian Peters (who has already dedicated his doctoral thesis to skateboarding), who have tried to bring together the most important theoretical writings on skateboarding, will help you.

There have been a few scientific works on skateboarding, but to our knowledge this is the first book that brings together the most important of them in one book. Already the cover with a picture from the Wohnseifer/Gonz performance 20 years ago in Gladbach perfectly symbolizes the fusion of skateboarding and theoretical cultural context. On over 270 pages, authors such as Iain Borden, Ocean Howell or the two editors themselves dissect our daily favorite activity scientifically and reproduce it in well-chosen (English) words.

If you want to get a little education or show off in front of the homies at the spot, you can buy the anthology from König for 29,80.
