Product Information

" Right, Down + Circle is a lightning-speed time machine held together with grip tape and wallet chains. It immediately transports to an era of CD collections, ripped band tees, and sibling video game rivalry." -- Sarah Berman, author of Don't Call It a Cult "A tender tribute to a fragile time, a frontside 360 ollie that feels like a hug." -- Elamin Abdelmahmoud, author of Son of Elsewhere "With incisive and heartfelt writing, Cole Nowicki unlocks the source code of the massively influential cultural phenomenon that is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and finds wonderful Easter eggs of meaning within. Even non-skaters will be wowed by this examination of youth, community, risk, and authenticity and gain a new appreciation of skateboarding's massive influence upon our larger culture. This is my new favorite book about skateboarding, which isn't really about skateboarding -- it's about everything." -- Michael Christie, author of the novels Greenwood and If I Fall, If I Die In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture and everything it embodied, including its tumultuous history with popularity, outsider status, and rebellion. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours in their own homes playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway. Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture -- and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness -- to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process. About the Pop Classics Series Short books that pack a big punch, Pop Classics offer intelligent, fun, and accessible arguments about why a particular pop phenomenon matters.

This is my new favorite book about skateboarding, which isn't really about skateboarding -- it's about everything." -- Michael Christie, author of the novels Greenwood and If I Fall, If I Die, "The author does a great job of exploring the history of skateboarding and the different maneuvers in simple and easy to understand manner-especially for people who have never skated a day in their lives...while also entwining how playing these video games helped shape who he is today." -- Palmer Library Reviews, "Cole Nowicki's Right, Down + Circle is a lightning speed time machine held together with grip tape and wallet chains. It immediately transports to an era of CD collections, ripped band tees, and sibling video game rivalry.

This is my new favorite book about skateboarding, which isn't really about skateboarding -- it's about everything." -- Michael Christie, author of the novels Greenwood and If I Fall, If I Die "As one of the people whose life changed forever the first time I picked up a PlayStation controller, Right, Down + Circle perfectly captures how it felt to witness a subculture becoming an inescapable phenomenon. Nowicki deftly follows the trails left by the urethane wheels of skateboarding and how it would change video games, music, and culture as we know it. Written with a familiar and vivid lived experience, Right, Down + Circle charts how Tony Hawk's Pro Skater changed those of us who felt like outsiders as we tried to find ourselves on the digital and concrete pavements of the streets that raised us." -- Niko Stratis, culture writer "Cole Nowicki nails the thrill and mystique of playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater -- yes, the fun of playing, but also the absolutely serious stuff of providing refuge. This is a tender tribute to a fragile time, a frontside 360 ollie that feels like a hug." -- Elamin Abdelmahmoud, author of Son of Elsewhere "By turns panoramic and personal, Right, Down + Circle is a sharp, lucid, and vital reminder that the value of any game is how it teaches us and gives us permission to play." -- Kyle Beachy, author of The Most Fun Thing, "Cole Nowicki's Right, Down + Circle is a lightning speed time machine held together with grip tape and wallet chains.
