This is the story of how the Rinky Dink skateboard evolved in the early 1960's and how it was instrumental in seeding the thrill of skateboarding throughout the United States. Skateboard historians concentrate their research on southern California where they were first developed, but provide little information about how it became a skating sensation throughout the entire United States and other countries. Many say it happened spontaneously, but are unaware of the entrepreneurial efforts of individuals who first manufactured and sold skateboards in other U.S. locations. During the early 1960's, sales resistance was strong in major cities where no one had seen a skateboard or witnessed a youngster speeding along a sidewalk on a board with roller skate wheels. The author manufactured and sold over a million Rinky Dink skateboards, but in 1961 was laughed out of buying offices with statements like, " no one in their right mind would attempt to skate on a contraption like this" or "it looks like a good way to break every bone in your body. Thanks, but no thanks." The authors first skateboard ads appeared in Specialty Salesman magazine in early 1962. It reached a national audience of over a quarter million salesmen and resulted in sales of skateboards throughout the entire United States. First skateboards like the Scooterbug and Rinky Dink were the forerunners that belonged to the early development period of a fully developed skateboard phenomenon and were instrumental in creating today's skateboard sport.

This in-depth, photo-packed look at the history and culture of surfers is “meticulously researched, smartly written . . . required reading” (Outside Magazine). Matt Warshaw knows more about surfing than any other person on the planet. After five years of research and writing, Warshaw, a former professional surfer and editor of Surfing magazine, has crafted an unprecedented, definitive history of the sport and the culture it has spawned. With more than 250 rare photographs, The History of Surfing reveals and defines this sport with a voice that is authoritative, funny, and wholly original. The obsessive nature of Warshaw’s endeavor is matched only by the obsessive nature of surfers, who are brought to life in this book in many tales of daring, innovation, athletic achievement, and the offbeat personalities who have made surfing history happen. “The world’s most comprehensive chronicler of the surfing scene.” —Andy Martin, The Independent

Journalist David Browne interviews more than 100 athletes, pioneers, industry executives, manufacturers, and the adolescent amateurs at the heart of this movement.

David Browne is the music critic for Entertainment Weekly and author of Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley, which was a finalist for the Ralph J. Gleason Award. A former reporter for the New York Daily News, he has also written for the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and New York, among other publications. He lives in Manhattan.

A New York Times bestseller 'A sensation ... a rollicking tale well told' - The Times At the heart of Born to Run lies a mysterious tribe of Mexican Indians, the Tarahumara, who live quietly in canyons and are reputed to be the best distance runners in the world; in 1993, one of them, aged 57, came first in a prestigious 100-mile race wearing a toga and sandals. A small group of the world's top ultra-runners (and the awe-inspiring author) make the treacherous journey into the canyons to try to learn the tribe's secrets and then take them on over a course 50 miles long. With incredible energy and smart observation, McDougall tells this story while asking what the secrets are to being an incredible runner. Travelling to labs at Harvard, Nike, and elsewhere, he comes across an incredible cast of characters, including the woman who recently broke the world record for 100 miles and for her encore ran a 2:50 marathon in a bikini, pausing to down a beer at the 20 mile mark.
