Focusing on family skateboarding in the San Francisco Bay Area, the book examines the evolution of skateboarding from a perceived delinquent activity to a mainstream sport for children. It highlights how this shift reflects broader changes in societal attitudes towards recreational activities, positioning skateboarding alongside traditional sports like soccer and basketball as a legitimate and approved pastime for American youth.
