"Like a canoe-building manual for dry land, Matt Berger's elucidating treatise will elevate your skateboard shop skills from "ollie" to "goofy-foot kick-flip", with panache. Build yourself a stylish vehicle that requires no fuel beyond bacon, vanquishing the traffic and the claustrophobia of conventional conveyance."- Nick OffermanActor, comedian, woodworker, and author of "Paddle Your Own Canoe", "When my dad, brothers and I opened Val Surf in 1962, we had decided to include skateboards in our product offering thus making us the world's first legitimate skateboard shop. The skateboard has evolved so much since then, so it's great to see a new generation of skatemakers head back into the garage shop to build their own decks. A copy of The Handmade Skateboard would be a very helpful tool to guide them along."-- Mark "Wally" Richards, President and Co-Founder of Val Surf Boardshop and early skateboard pioneer

    item is as was described and promptly shipped, and the outer packaging was very durable, but the shoes were packed with no protection for the toe box shapers, which were mangled and detracted from the overall good looks of the shoes. I believe I can restore the intended smooth, crease-free look of the toe boxes, but more care could have been taken to avoid the serious creasing.

    Alright book

    I felt that the first chapter was all about the author with some skateboard history mixed in. The rest of the book was alright. Good instructions on building skateboards, longboards, cruisers, etc.
