In the early days of skateboarding, there were no skateparks or professional skaters. Boys who wanted to skate had to make their own boards and find their own places to ride. They would often skate in the streets, on sidewalks, and in empty parking lots. And they would often experiment with different ways to improve their boards and their skating skills.

One of the most important early skateboarders was Alan "Ollie" Gelfand. In the late 1970s, Gelfand invented the ollie, a trick that allowed skaters to jump over obstacles. The ollie revolutionized skateboarding, and it is still one of the most basic and essential tricks today.

Another important early skateboarder was Rodney Mullen. In the early 1980s, Mullen invented the kickflip, a trick that allowed skaters to flip their boards in the air. The kickflip is another one of the most basic and essential tricks in skateboarding, and it has been used to create countless other tricks.

Today, skateboarding is a global phenomenon. There are skateparks in every major city, and professional skateboarders are some of the most popular athletes in the world. And it all started with a few boys who just wanted to have some fun.

The Boys and Skateboarding: Inventions and Discovery is a book that chronicles the history of skateboarding, from its humble beginnings to its modern-day popularity. The book is written by two skateboarding enthusiasts, and it is filled with rare photos, interviews, and stories that will appeal to both skateboarding fans and historians alike.
