Life and Limb Skateboarders Write from the Deep End

Life and Limb is a collection of writing about the art, science, and raw lust for motion that epitomize the culture of skateboarding. With fiction and essays infused with the energy, drive, and unruliness of the sport, Life and Limb documents life on the edges of experience. From eating an entire tree on a ten-thousand-dollar dare, to monkeywrenching a McDonalds and accidentally setting a cemetery on fire, the pieces in this unique anthology often feature subjects far removed from skateboarding itself, yet sprung from a common source.
