From Booklist

Gr. 2-3. From the All Aboard Reading series, this Station Stop high-interest title features skateboarding stars Hawk and MacDonald. Friends, often competitors, sometimes doubles partners, they dominated skateboarding competitions in the first years of the X Games, which began in 1995. In addition to exciting moments from competitions, the book includes brief biographical information and color photos that show the skateboarders in action. Sidebars fill in information on the history, the types of skateboarding, and the X Games, and definitions of skateboarding terms are appended. Children who like to skateboard as well as those who just like to watch will enjoy this glimpse at two extraordinary athletes who earned respect for their sport. Carolyn Phelan
