Agreement number 40671108 WELCOME TO THE FINE PRINT: Talk about discoveries: Approximately 10 minutes from my house there are now not one, but TWO skateparks. These parks were built late last year in new neighborhoods. For the last few years I have pleaded with the city of Vaughan to build a huge skatepark. I worked on a committee, I gave presentations and, flustered by the politics and gla- cial pace of the entire ordeal, I moved on. I was also bummed that no one would even return a damn phone call telling me whom I should contact. You can imagine my surprise when a local skater contacted me with his desire to host a skate event. About five minutes into our conver- sation, he told me about the new parks. I was floored. We promptly left my house and 10 minutes later I was skating in a brand new park. The park features a nice concrete wave and buttery- smooth surfaces. Sure, it’s small, but it exists, and I had no idea that it was built. There’s even an asphalt track surrounding the park that is perfect for a mini bomb. The other park is around the corner and is a complete waste of money. It’s teeny tiny and nowhere near functional – but it is indeed a skatepark. It sure is surprising what you can find in your own back yard. Makes me wonder what else is out there.

  • Parks and Recreation Survey Results – June 2016
    CITY OF GOLDEN PARKS & RECREATION SURVEY RESULTS JUNE 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS DEMOGRAPHICS CURRENT FACILITIES FUTURE FACILITIES, AMENITIES, & SERVICES FINANCIAL CHOICES/FEES OPEN-ENDED COMMENTS METHODOLOGY & SELECTED FINDINGS INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to gather public feedback on Golden parks and recreation facilities, services, and programs. This survey research effort and subsequent analysis were designed to assist the City of Golden in updating their master plan regarding existing and possibly future enhancements, facilities, and services. METHODOLOGY The survey was conducted using two primary methods: 1) a postcard sent to a random sample of Golden residents (the “invitation sample”) inviting residents to complete the survey online or request a paper version of the survey; and 2) an open- link online survey for members of the public who were not part of the invitation sample. The analysis herein primarily focuses on responses from the statistically-valid invitation sample. The primary list source used for the mailing was a registered voter list purchased from Jefferson County. Use of the registered voter list includes renters in the sample who are frequently missed in other list sources such as utility billing lists. METHODOLOGY A total of 4,000 postcards were mailed to a random sample of City of Golden residents in May 2016. After accounting for undeliverable addresses (121 total), 3,879 postcards were delivered and 363 responses were received, resulting in a response rate of 9.4 percent. The margin of error for the 363 statistically valid responses is approximately +/- 5.1 percentage points calculated for questions at 50% response.

  • Return to Form: Analyzing the Role of Media in Self-Documenting Subcultures
    RETURN TO FORM: ANALYZING THE ROLE OF MEDIA IN SELF-DOCUMENTING SUBCULTURES GLEN WOOD A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CINEMA AND MEDIA STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO August 2020 © Glen Wood, 2020 Abstract This dissertation examines self-documenting subcultures and the role of media within three case studies: hardcore punk, skateboarding, and urban dirt-bike riding. The production and distribution of subcultural media is largely governed by intracultural industries. Elite practitioners and media-makers are incentivized to document performances that are deemed essential to the preservation of the status quo. This constructed dependency reflects and reproduces an ethos of conformity that pervades both social interactions and subcultural representations. Within each self-documenting subculture, media is the primary mode of socialization and representation. The production of media and meaning is constrained by the presence of prescriptive formal conventions propagated by elite producers. These conditions, in part, result in the institutionalization of conformity. The three case studies illustrate the theoretical and methodological framework that classifies these formations under a new typology. Accordingly, this dissertation introduces an alternative approach to the study of subcultures. ii Acknowledgments My academic career is based upon the support of numerous individuals, organizations, and institutions. I would like to thank John McCullough for his inspiring words and utter confidence in my work. Moreover, Markus Reisenleitner and Steve Bailey were integral throughout the dissertation process, encouraging my progress and providing their thoughtful commentary along the way. I am also greatly appreciative of the external reviewers for their time and evaluations.

Skateboarders appear to use roadways much as other non‐ motorized modes do. However, there is little academic research on the needs and characteristics of the skateboard as a mode. This research reports demographics, multi‐modal and travel behavior findings, and other data from an exploratory mixed‐methods study of skateboarding as a mode of transportation. i For the skaters who showed me the familiar city as a new and different landscape.

  • Heart Rate Effects of Longboard Skateboarding
    HEART RATE EFFECTS OF LONGBOARD SKATEBOARDING John Amtmann, Department of Applied Health Science/Safety, Health and Industrial Hygiene, Montana Tech, Butte, MT Kyle Loch, Department of Biology and Environmental Engineering, Montana Tech, Butte, MT Charles S. Todd, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Montana Tech, Butte, Montana William Spath, Department of Applied Health Science/Safety, Health and Industrial Hygiene, Montana Tech, Butte, MT ABSTRACT The longboard skateboard has a longer, and usually wider, deck than the standard skateboard to provide greater support of the rider during the higher speeds attained on this version of the skateboard. Fourteen volunteer subjects participated in downhill and uphill longboarding trials. Heart rates were monitored during both trials, and the downhill and uphill average heart rates were compared with resting heart rates and then compared with accepted intensity recommendations for health and fitness benefits.The study questions were: Does longboarding have an acute effect on heart rates? If so, will longboarding uphill and/ or downhill cause heart rate changes to levels recommended to improve cardiorespiratory health and fitness? With these questions as guidance we developed four hypotheses. With an average resting heart rate of 59.9 beats/minute, average downhill heart rate of 131.4 beats/minute and average uphill heart rate of 167.8 beats/minute statistical analysis showed statistically significant p values < .0001 and each null hypothesis was rejected in favor of their respective research hypotheses. Based on average age and average resting heart rate, average age-predicted maximum heart rate was 193.2 beats/minute and heart rate reserve was 133.2 beats/minute.
