the answer is never (2002)

The Answer Is Never: A Skateboarder's History of the World (Jocko Weyland)

i can't pretend to be a skater or know anything about the skating mentality. however, this book makes me wish that i was cool enough then to be cool enough now. jocko weyland is an amazing writer and he really brings skateboarding's history and thrills to life. if anything, the book is almost too detailed, but that's hardly a knock on this definitive work.
