    Chipping a board is a natural part of skateboarding. Novice or pro, you'll see folks riding chipped boards as symbols of their stubborn dedication toward a deck, a toy, and aging bodies that will also reach their inevitable end. 
     
     
     
    In Chipped, José Vadi personalizes and expands upon this symbol. Written after finishing his debut collection Inter State, Vadi used these essays to explore his own empathy in aging, and to elaborate on the impact skateboarding has had on culture, power, and art. From tracing a critical mass skater takeover of San Francisco's streets, to an analysis of visceral '90s skate videos and soundtracks, to the solace found skating a parking lot during a global pandemic, Vadi expands our understanding of the ways skateboarding can alter one's life. 
     
     
     
    Vadi acts as a "ethnographer on a skateboard," writing, living, and animating an object, likening the board and skate ephemera to the fear of being discarded, wanting to be seen as useful, functional, living. These essays analyze the legacy of seminal texts like Thrasher magazine, influential programming giants like MTV, and skateboard artists. Chipped is an intimate, genre-pushing meditation on skateboarding and the reasons we continue to get up after every fall life throws our way.

    For runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers, rowers, skiers, and all dedicated athletes, getting older doesn’t have to mean getting slower. Drawing from the most current research on aging, longevity, and sports performance, Joe Friel―America’s leading endurance sports coach―shows how athletes can train smart, race strong, and stay healthy well past age 50. 
     
    Alongside guidelines for high-intensity workouts, targeted strength training, recovery, cross-training, and nutrition for high performance, Friel has updated Fast After 50 to include: 
    New research on how to effectively build fitness with low-intensity training along with limited amounts of high-intensity trainingUpdated cross-training tips and plans to boost aerobic endurance without the risk of injuryStories from “super agers” who have excelled in their sport at an advanced ageA chapter on “Beyond the Fifties” to keep athletes informed on how to stay in the race as they age up 
     
    And so much more! 
     
    In Fast After 50, Joe Friel shows athletes that age is just a number. Athletes of any age can extend their racing careers for decades―and race to win. This audio edition is skillfully narrated by Brian Arens. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
