Midwest Shreds: Skating through America's Heartland (Softcover)

The Midwest isn’t the first place that comes to mind when you think of skateboarding—but maybe it should be. In Midwest Shreds, Mandy Shunnarah tears up the stereotypes and dives headfirst into the gritty, DIY heart of the region’s skate scene. This is skating as rebellion, community, art, and survival. From anarchist-built skateparks rising from the ruins in southern Ohio, to cathedral sessions in St. Louis, to the raw energy of Cleveland’s street competitions, Shunnarah introduces the crews, the culture, and the concrete that define Midwestern skate life. These are the stories behind the scars—told with grit, soul, and serious wheels.
