The Skateboard Life
A highly visual celebration and cultural overview of skateboarding through more than 65 profiles of the biggest names in the sport from one of the foremost experts on skateboarding in the world. *A New York Post and Publishers Weekly 2025 Holiday Gift Guide Pick
Skateboarding is a noun, a verb, and a culture that grabbed the public imagination and has never looked back. Its inclusion as an Olympic sport has only fueled the fire and enticed more people to take their first push and first breath as skateboarders.
The Skateboard Life reveals and revels in how skateboarding—still criminalized in many places—has permeated and elevated our global culture, influencing media, art, fashion, music, sports, business, and education. Through profiles and more than 100 striking photographs, “America’s First Ambassador of Skateboarding,” Dr. Neftalie Williams, provides a definitive look at the most influential voices of skateboarding. The story of skateboarding’s rise is told through the tales of cultural luminaries, including legends such as Tony Hawk, Paul Rodriguez, Vanessa Torres, and Kareem Campbell; and celebrated Olympians like Nyjah Huston and Sky Brown. The book covers artists, including Mark McKee, the Michelangelo of skateboarding art; Spike Jonze, the auteur filmmaker; and Glen E. Friedman, the photographer behind some of the most iconic moments in skate. It also highlights activists like Briana King, Vogue model, artist, skater, Amelia Brodka, women's skateboarding entrepreneur and advocate, and Leo Baker, the unwavering knight for the LGBTQ+ community. Never before has this mega-roster of multi-generational, multi-gendered, and multiracial group of skaters and their impact on skateboarding and society been featured and discussed together in this depth.
Interspersed between the profiles are interstitials celebrating famous skateparks, contests, and content creators from across the globe. These contextualize the behind-the-scenes connective tissue that drives skateboarding’s constant progression and positivity. The Skateboard Life offers an all-access, breathtaking experience that will appeal to skaters of all levels: dreamers, beginners, and experts alike.
Hvězdy českého hokeje
Nejlepší hokejista? „Pod tímto pojmem si představuji hráče, který, když se rozhodne, že dá gól, tak ho prostě dá. Někdo jako byl Gretzky nebo Lemieux.“ JAROMÍR JÁGR
Ovšem takovým byl i sám slavný hráč s číslem 68, po Waynu Gretzkym druhý nejproduktivnější hokejista historie Národní hokejové ligy. Jinými slovy muž, který ukázal dalším skvělým Čechům cestu do nejprestižnější ligy světa. A oni, Dominik Hašek, Martin Straka, Patrik Eliáš, Milan Hejduk a další i současní David Pastrňák, Radko Gudas či Ondřej Palát Jag’se, jak mu za Atlantikem říkají, dokázali následovat a výtečně reprezentovat Česko, a to i v dresu se lvíčkem. A za své umění sklidili mnoho obdivu a úcty našeho hokejového národa.
Až málo pochopitelně v posledních letech - s výjimkou zlata z mistrovství světa v Praze 2024 - také dost kritiky. Jako bychom zapomněli, že čeští hokejisté získali v samostatné éře na světových kláních 8 – slovy OSM – úctyhodných zlatých medailí včetně „Zlatého hattricku“ v letech 1999, 2000 a 2001 a ZOH v Naganu 1998. Úspěšnější byla pouze hokejová velmoc Kanada s devíti zlaty z MS a třemi z olympiád.
Jeden z pádných důvodů, proč připomenout velké hrdiny naší úžasné sklizně, TOP 20 hokejových gladiátorů, a další výborné hráče, kteří jsou vlastně normálními pracanty ledních ploch. Takovými, jak je symbolicky vyjadřuje legenda Jágr: „Chceš být nejlepší? Tak musíš dělat věci, co nikdy nikdo nedělal. Možná se ti budou smát, možná tě budou pomlouvat, ale když vydržíš, budeš to ty, který stojí na vrcholu.“
Pojďme číst dvacet lidských příběhů českých hrdinů s hokejkou.

The Chain
''Back in 2012, everyone knew who Bradley Wiggins was. Everyone, that is, but me. Thirteen years after the summer that defined me, I have finally defined myself. The disguises have gone. I''ve made peace with myself.''Think you know Bradley Wiggins? Think again.Bradley Wiggins is the greatest British cyclist of his generation. A national hero on both track and road, he won five Olympic gold medals, eight world titles and the Tour de France.But his is a story mired in contradiction, controversy, and confusion. Sat on a throne after winning gold at London 2012, just ten days after becoming the first Briton to win the Tour de France, here was a man with the world at his feet. Sporting hero. People’s champion. Legend. Everyone knew who ‘Wiggo’ was. Everyone, that is, but him.Bradley’s own truth was one of a chaotic and disturbing upbringing characterised by abandonment and abuse. The bike had been his escape but he knew that the second he got out of the saddle he was a shadow-man with no self-belief and even less self-worth.With zero confidence in his value as a human being, attention was his worst nightmare. Bradley’s answer was to wear a mask. He became ‘Sir Wiggo’, the loveable rogue, the disguise slowly suffocating the real him, crushing the last few remnants of self-esteem.Bradley descended into a deep personal despair marked by drug addiction. It was his lowest point, and one which, he freely admits, could have resulted in his death.Bradley’s saviour has been himself. Incredibly he found the strength to embark on a remarkable journey of self-discovery during which he faced his greatest ever opponent – the demons inside his head. In so doing he reached an understanding of what and who he is.The result is this powerful memoir, The Chain.It is a journey he now wants to share. He wants others to understand they are not alone in their mental battles; that embracing honesty and openness is the key to personal happiness.Bradley Wiggins has cast aside his fragile shell. Now, as the person he always wanted to be, he has become an inspiration to us all. Forget the jerseys, the medals. Finally, Bradley Wiggins is who he is, in his own skin. He has broken the chain.

Focimorzsák
Tudtad, hogy egy angol egyesület vezetői megbíztak egy híres mentalistát, hogy hipnotizálja a futballistákat a meccsük előtt? Vagy azt, hogy egy játékos örült a sérülése okozta többhetes kényszerpihenőnek, mert így el tudott utazni nászútra a szerelmével? Hallottad már, hogy azért állt le percekre egy mérkőzés Olaszországban, mert ufók jelentek meg a stadion felett? És azt, hogy egy klubelnök interjú közben ajánlott edzői állást az őt kérdező riporternek? Az megvan, hogy az elefántok váratlan felvonulása félbeszakított egy találkozót, egy francia csapat a szúnyogok miatt nem tudott rendesen felkészülni a szezonjára, és egy trénert az ötös győzelmi sorozata után rúgtak ki?
A Focimorzsák a profi és amatőr labdarúgás legkülönösebb mozzanatait mutatja be neked. Őrült szokások, hihetetlen eredmények, váratlan helyzetek és sokkoló bemondások alkotják ezt az 500 sztoriból álló egyveleget. A történeteket látványos rajzok teszik még átélhetőbbé.
A berni diadal - Egy megnyert vb-döntő, amely átírja a történelmet
Bern, 1954. Az Aranycsapat a labdarúgó-világbajnokság döntőjében nem veszít, hanem nyer a németek ellen. Itthon mindenki ünnepel, senki sem sejtheti, hogy a hatalmas siker teljesen átírja a magyar történelmet. Elmarad az 1956-os forradalom és később a rendszerváltoztatás is, az egyre brutálisabb kommunista hatalom diktatúrában tartja az országot.
Budapest, a közelmúltban. Egy sportújságíró fontos megbízást kap a párttól: írja meg a vb-győzelem évfordulójára az egykori munkások visszaemlékezéseit. Közben a testvérén próbál segíteni, akit egy veszélyes szervezkedés miatt börtönöztek be. Amint egyre mélyebbre ás, és megtapasztalja a hatalom mindent átszövő, embertelen működését és hazugságait, rádöbben, hogy már saját magát, sőt az egész országot kell megmentenie.
Az ismert sportközgazdász, Szabados Gábor első regénye egy olyan Magyarországon játszódik, amelyet merőben más valóságba terelt a berni diadal.
There's Gonna Be A Show
"Really beautiful... If you're an Everton fan, you must buy this book. If you're a football fan of a certain age, I would really recommend it as well. A really funny, smart writer talking about football, his family and what it means. You will laugh and cry." Richard Osman, The Rest Is Entertainment podcastJIMMY MULVILLE is one of the most significant figures in British television as owner and managing director of Hat Trick Productions, creators of such hit shows as Drop The Dead Donkey, Outnumbered and Have I Got News For You.He is also a lifelong devotee of Everton FC, having grown up less than a mile from Goodison Park, and has loved them then left before returning to them over the course of their modern history of 80s success followed by regular Premier League struggles. In There's Gonna Be A Show, the Liverpool comprehensive kid who read Classics at Cambridge University tells how Everton have been the backdrop to his father's suicide and his own drug addiction; how he reconnected with his home city after getting clean and sober and helped Bill Kenwright buy the club. Taking as starting point the last game at Goodison Park, sponsored by Hat Trick, and ending with the first game at the new Hill Dickinson Stadum, this is a beautifully written memoir of football's emotional potency and poignancy.

Glory Days for the Waifs and the Strays
On12 May 2019, Manchester City became the first team to retain the Premier Leaguetitle for a decade. Twenty years earlier, the same club was slogging its wayout of Division Two, having sunk ignominiously to the third tier, its glorydays well behind it. Ordinarily,the tale of a sleeping giant awaking to stomp over the competition would becelebrated far beyond the core fan base. But City's success is tiedinextricably to its takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group in 2008, an eventthat altered the club's horizons beyond any plausible recognition. Theinjection of billions of pounds into the club amid accusations that Abu Dhabiis 'sportswashing' its reputation tarnished City's treble-winning season in2022/23, as have serious charges of financial impropriety from the PremierLeague. GloryDays for the Waifs and Strayscharts this route from noble rags to uncomfortable riches and unpacks what itmeans when a team's lowest lows and highest highs occur improbably within ageneration. It amounts to a story like no other in modern football: thedistance travelled from there to here, the greats on either side of the whiteline and the uniquely divisive means by which this has been achieved. ManchesterCity have defined an era in English football. This is the tale of how thathappened and why it matters.
