| Summary/Abstract |
Street sports like skateboarding and inline skating can be done almost anywhere and require relatively inexpensive equipment. BMX riding and a street version of luge racing are also covered. Safety is promoted, but Chapman seems to undermine his own advice in Streets by noting, "Helmets are not always necessary for skateboarding or inline skating, but if the intention is to perform dangerous stunts, it is advisable to wear them."
