Let me tell you a secret: skateboarding is magic.
I don't mean you have to be a magician to do it.
In fact, anyone can skateboard.
I'm going to show you exactly how I do it, why I do it and what I love most about it.
So come with me...
Learn how Sky Brown, the youngest person to win a medal in skateboarding at the Olympics, fell in love with the sport. Then, she'll share how to skateboard - from flip tricks and grab tricks to air tricks and slide tricks - and offers insider tips and sage advice for young fans around the world.
Packed with step-by-step skills and oozing with passion, these little handbooks are for any young reader who loves life. With fun-filled, engaging illustrations from Shaw Davidson, and in the words of Sky Brown herself, this is the perfect book to inspire children to find their life's passion.
SKY BROWN is a professional skateboarder and surfer from Miyazaki, Japan. In 2021, she represented Great Britain at the 2020 Summer Olympics, where she won a bronze medal at age twelve.
