thesis
educate the world on the true values of
skateboarding

get rid of the black and white view of the sport

disclaim the media’s portrayal on the sport

finally show the posotive light skateboarding
deserves
personal relevance



Skateboarding is gnarly

always been a major part of my life

directly ties to art and expression

has enhanced my ability to create and view
the world differently
skateboarding and its image



the many faces of the sport make its image
one that is hard to grasp,

brews speculation and misconception

mostly youth participating in it

black cloud of stereotype
image

skateboarding is just recently starting to be
recognized as a real sport

x games and street league’s televised events
have begun to make an impact on the minds
of those outside the sport looking in
contrary

what the viewer dosent notice is what it took
for that contest to get on tv

soul sale

energy drinks?
fashion show

get the trick, but worry more about logo
placement.

winning sells product, win or get cut

when you win show the bottom of your
board!! billboard style
lets see those
  stickers!!!
ad-space for cooks!
the stereotype

the main view is the competition and retail of
the sport

ESPN’s x games and mall skate shops take all
the credit for the sports success

the true skaters are fighting tooth and nail for
a place to skate, not for neon clothing and
yellow helmets
gag



skateboarder reality shows?
realism


espn and high end retail would never touch
the sport if it wasnt making big money

these companies give back to the sport
minimally, and usually just for free
advertising
how we got here

the 80’s and 90’s had polar opposite affects on
the sport

80’s bought in a newskool aerial assault, and the
beginning of corperate companies.

90’s brought the streets into the game and actual
skateboarders began to take control of the
industry
shaping of the sport

80’s began to introduce a wider skateboard
with a kick tail. this allowed for manuvers to
be popped on flat ground

inbetween the late 80’s and early 90’s a nose
was added to the skateboard
the modern shape

a new school shaped skateboard had both
nose and tail to maximize control, and an
inward rocker

allows for readjustment of the skateboards
pitch while airborne
flaws in past
          designs

70’s

a very thin board with thiner trucks was the
norm

very little other than riding was possible

no tail or nose, incapable of maneuvers
the flaws in past
      shapes
80’s

the fishtails lack of a nose and large heavy
design made flat ground manuevers nearly
impossible

it was built exclusively to ride up and down
ramps, a large platform and added control to
handle speed
mainstream
to the occasional skateboard enthusiast the
sport stands as a fairly new alternative sport.

tony hawk

skateparks

kids

township space
townships

every kid wants a skatepark in their town,
everyone it takes to get it done knows the
cons

vandalism

loitering

usage stop
subculture

subculture makes the freedom of the sport

music, terrain, landscape, and attitude define
skateboarders style on and off the board

increases the oportunity for the sports growth
by creating nich’es
edit yourself


not giving a hoot what whos doing where

its all about your own expression when it
comes to the skateboard

skaters dont care
subculture

inner city styles are generally asssociated with
urban hip-hop, and a more devoted effort
toward clothing.

the urban landscape creates a playground of
possibilities and freedom
urban
love park

the battle for philadelphia was a very real
time

love park was closed from the public in order
to spend millions of tax payer money on anti
skateboarding rennovations

policia
subculture

towards a more rural area one will begin to
see a more focused area of skateboarding

less things to skate meens you get good at
what you have

more vert ramp and skatepark devotion
york pa

a small struggling town now has given
direction to their youth

a large concrete skatepark was built in
memory of a skateboarder from their town

kids who would otherwise be in some ally
getting high or worse are now given the
option to skate
subculture

the gray area in style is a great improvement
in the sport

the next generation of skateboarders is
beginning to embrace all elements of the sport

grant taylor
york continued


the park contains mimmiced features from
city enviornments along with a full sized
inground bowl.

this is a great attribute to learn from
FDR
                  666

possibly the gnarliest skatepark on the east
coast

rawest concrete

best vibe

hardcore mentality
!fdr!


fdr was built as a direct action against the
bust at love park

individuals wantd control of their skate scene,
so they took it
hating


gnarly transitions

epic sessions

hectic atmosphere
rural
board control
the law
the youth
magazines
core
music


music listening directly influinces the
skateboarders on board style

tricks, ride aways, spot selection and attitude
all play a part

slow= stylish fast=hardcore
music
very much like music, skateboarding provides
a creative release for participants



instruments and skateboards both serve as
empty canvas for the creative mind

both embrace the rythem of human motion
and expression
money hunters

  4. people find that they can pick a skateboarder out of a crowd, different is wrong to the narrow minded so with the immidiate draw of attention the sport is already misrepresented. a long history of property damage and steriotypes dosent help much either, the skateboarder has become synonamous with drug abuse and rebellion\n\nBIG DUMB CHERADE born ugly magazine rob lee\n
  5. older generations are experiencing the sport for what it has grown into.\npeople relate to whan the had a fishtail in the 80’s and stop and watch skateboarding when their flipping through the channels. or they look at those little kids breaking stuff outside of a shopping center and hate it\n

  10. companies like zumiez and pac sun are here to cash in on the newest thing the youth is into, espn bought their way into the sport by creating a giant advertising cherade out of a vert ramp and a street course. the skaters have become well basically “a stock car” is what jay adams said to stacy peralta, stickers and logos pay your way when you sell out.\n

  12. by putting on fashion show skateboarding contest companies are able to minipulte the clothing worn by their athletes and use them as billboards. companies like mountain dew and red bull appear to be investing heavily in the sport for its growth but their really just trying to milk the income while people still think skateboardings cool\n
  13. different trends within the sport have brought different times for its image, in the 80’s a visually stimulating air show known as the vert ramp attracted viewers and enthusiasts from all walks of life mostly because of its flashy approach and glam metal style, guys like geoorge powell who wasnt even a skater, started companies.\n the 90’ s brought grunge and post punk into the scene creating a more layed back approach to filming and media exposure. guys like steve rucko and rodney mullen began to elbow in\n
  14. when the skateboard hape trial and error was finally over it was realized that the ultimate shape would be a symetrical popsicle stick shape with a negative rocker in the design\n
  15. i have a clip of the ollie being performed and i would like to walk you through the physics of this maneuver \n
  16. the nose of the board allows for the front foot to apply pressure like a lever in turn raising the tail back up to meet the back foot after takeoff. on a board without a nose the ollie is an interesting task\n

  22. the sport seems skin deep from the outside looking in, many remember the legacy of tony hawk just for his media envolvement and good nature. skateparks are always thought of as the go to thing for a skater but oddly enough itgs far from the truth. when a township builds a skatepark more than likely it will be abused vandalized and underused. the same area takes the soul out of creativity on four wheels\n
  23. everyone knows there will always be bad apples in any group of individuals, skateboarding, well a little more so. drugs vandalism and loitering are all directly associated with skateparks when brought to the minds of those we need to plan and create them.\n

  26. dosent matter how you dress, what board you skate, what you skate. if your out there giving your all any other true skateboarder already has respect for regaurdless of your ability level the unimportance of skateboard fshiobn and branding\n
  27. the ever bustling city enviornment allows for skating to take itself to every nook and cranny of urban construction all the way to urban decay, like a sidewalk tile thats popped up from a water main break, instant skate spot. or it could be a beautiful marble ledge just screaming out grind me. these skaters are constantly harassed by inner city bacon and renna bacon\n

  29. riot police fully suited were dispatched into the park several times, little ids getting tear gassed for skateboarding arrested, boards taken fined and brutally abused\n
  30. skatings tough when you live in the middle of noware, a lot of rural areas are starting to build massive skateparks to bring culture and sport to the town and keep the kids out of trouble. but before that there was the vert ramp. a two walled ramp known widely from its popularity at x games. the ramp is built easily and has unlimited possibility which keeps a level playing feild for everyone who skates one.\n
  31. the park is literally beautiful while the city is literally crumbling. the locals that skate rip and are great kids. the kids who lurk at the park and dont skate are dirty hoods, clear benefit for the community\n
  32. skating vert or street was a good excuse for a while.\n“i dont skate vert” or i dont skate “street” would get you by but is becoming obvious that anyone with decent board control is ignorant for not skating everything. when the excuse is presented to me i just pity the narrow view of the person. as seen in the pictures above, bowls and staircases are becoming ne in the next generation of skating\n
  33. unique styles are created from exposure to multiple types of skateboarding. when this can be created within one project you have a recipe for extreme skill and beautiful progression within the town and the sport\n

  35. carlos biazza and a group of renegade skateboarders began the project with a giant wall that was written in the paper to be a giant intimidating bunker like structure.\n all concrete bought with raised money\nthe group effort is what keeps the drive alive\n
  36. many skaters want to skate slowly, with percision lamely, and thats just fine but when theres a raging session at the park. and you wunna toots around a 3.2 mph your gonna get a bit of bs. dont hate the park or the skaters, hate your ability level\n

  43. though it may be hard t understand and or document, with the amount of skateboard footage i have reviewed i can clearly see the distinction between a slow beat music taste and a hardcore music taste in a skateboarders style. a heavier effort into the perfection of a trick comes from a slower and more dialed approach to skateboarding. a punk rock approach just screams go fast and hold on tight\n
  44. recently picking up drums i feel the same creative buzz wether playing or skating. wether it be my own music or skateboarding, its playing by my rule. \n
