•Skateboarding's growing pains and the flagship company, Powell and Peralta, which made legends out of ramp riders like lance Mountain, Steve Caballaro and Tony Hawk

•The '90s revival that saw a fresh breed of innovator who took skateboarding back into the street in ways people had never imagined possible

•The X-Games, video games, a million up and comers and that elusive 900: skateboarding finds a permanent home in the 21st century.
