Once considered a kind of delinquent activity, skateboarding is on
track to join soccer, baseball, and basketball as an approved way
for American children to pass the after-school hours. With family
skateboarding in the San Francisco Bay Area as its focus, Moving
Boarders explores this switch in stance, integrating first-person
interviews and direct observations to provide a rich portrait of
youth skateboarders, their parents, and the social and market
forces that drive them toward the skate park. This excellent
treatise on the contemporary youth sports scene examines how modern
families embrace skateboarding and the role commerce plays in this
unexpected new parent culture, and highlights how private
corporations, community leaders, parks and recreation departments,
and nonprofits like the Tony Hawk Foundation have united to
energize skate parks-like soccer fields before them-as platforms
for community engagement and the creation of social and economic
capital.
