You can’t write a novel about skateboarding. It’s too big. Too unwieldy. What’re you going to do? Write about the Gelfand kid in Florida who soared without touching his board? Follow a scrappy team from Venice as they bring the ocean on to land? Track the trials and tribulations of one person as he (or she) suffers setbacks on the way to the olympics? How about a summer camp in Sweden as one man, career beginning to fade, decides he absolutely, positively must come up with a new trick so he can stay relevant for a few more years? Where are you even going to start? 

Us? We’ll start here: In the beginning, man invented the wheel.
