And yet, as ubiquitous as it is today, its origins, manners, and methods are little understood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Impossible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e aims to get skateboarding right. Journalist Cole Louison gets inside the history, culture, and major personalities of skating. He does solargely by recounting the careers of the sport’s Yoda—Rodney Mullen, who, in his mid-forties, remains the greatest skateboarder in the world, the godfather of all modern skateboarding tricks—and its Luke Skywalker—Ryan Sheckler, who became its youngest pro athlete and a celebrity at thirteen. The story begins in the 1960s, when the first boards made their way to land in the form of off-season surfing in southern California. It then follows the sport’s spikes, plateaus, and drops—including its billion-dollar apparel industry and its connection with art, fashion, and music. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Impossible\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, we come to know intimately not only skateboarding, but also two very different, equally fascinating geniuses who have shaped the sport more than anyone else.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-padding-small\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ux-textspans\"\u003ePublication Year 2011\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ux-layout-section-evo__col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ux-labels-values__labels\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ux-labels-values__labels-content\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54728228077934,"sku":"yvt1788774596633","price":15.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/3902\/1934\/files\/impossible-rodney-mullen-ryan-sheckler-and-the-anti-gravity-history-of-skateboar_1.jpg?v=1788774603","url":"https:\/\/www.peonycorner.shop\/products\/impossible-rodney-mullen-ryan-sheckler-and-the-anti-gravity-history-of-skateboarding-vintage-book","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
