  • Skate Parks: a Guide for Landscape Architects and Planners
    SKATE PARKS: A GUIDE FOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS by DESMOND POIRIER B.F.A., Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, Rhode Island, 1999. A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Department of Landscape Architecture College of Regional and Community Planning KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2008 Approved by: Major Professor Stephanie A. Rolley, FASLA, AICP Copyright DESMOND POIRIER 2008 Abstract Much like designing golf courses, designing and building skateboard parks requires very specific knowledge. This knowledge is difficult to obtain without firsthand experience of the sport in question. An understanding of how design details such as alignment, layout, surface, proportion, and radii of the curved surfaces impact the skateboarder’s experience is essential and, without it, a poor park will result. Skateboarding is the fastest growing sport in the US, and new skate parks are being fin- ished at a rate of about three per day. Cities and even small towns all across North America are committing themselves to embracing this sport and giving both younger and older participants a positive environment in which to enjoy it. In the interest of both the skateboarders who use them and the people that pay to have them built, it is imperative that these skate parks are built cor- rectly. Landscape architects will increasingly be called upon to help build these public parks in conjunction with skate park design/builders. At present, the relationship between landscape architects and skate park design/builders is often strained due to the gaps in knowledge between the two professions.

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.

  • Skate Life: Re-Imagining White Masculinity by Emily Chivers Yochim
    /A7J;(?<; technologies of the imagination new media in everyday life Ellen Seiter and Mimi Ito, Series Editors This book series showcases the best ethnographic research today on engagement with digital and convergent media. Taking up in-depth portraits of different aspects of living and growing up in a media-saturated era, the series takes an innovative approach to the genre of the ethnographic monograph. Through detailed case studies, the books explore practices at the forefront of media change through vivid description analyzed in relation to social, cultural, and historical context. New media practice is embedded in the routines, rituals, and institutions—both public and domestic—of everyday life. The books portray both average and exceptional practices but all grounded in a descriptive frame that ren- ders even exotic practices understandable. Rather than taking media content or technol- ogy as determining, the books focus on the productive dimensions of everyday media practice, particularly of children and youth. The emphasis is on how specific communities make meanings in their engagement with convergent media in the context of everyday life, focusing on how media is a site of agency rather than passivity. This ethnographic approach means that the subject matter is accessible and engaging for a curious layperson, as well as providing rich empirical material for an interdisciplinary scholarly community examining new media. Ellen Seiter is Professor of Critical Studies and Stephen K. Nenno Chair in Television Studies, School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Her many publi- cations include The Internet Playground: Children’s Access, Entertainment, and Mis- Education; Television and New Media Audiences; and Sold Separately: Children and Parents in Consumer Culture.

  • SKATEBOARDING JUDGING CRITERIA Park & Street
    SKATEBOARDING JUDGING CRITERIA Park & Street 1 Table of Contents: 1. Judging Mission Statement 2. Judging Philosophy 3. Overall Impression 4. Judging Criteria a. Difficulty b. Execution c. Use of Course d. Flow e. Consistency 5. Judging Scale a. Park Scoring b. Street Scoring 6. Glossary 2 WORLD SKATEBOARDING COMISSION | JUDGING CRITERIA July the 24th 2019 1. JUDGING MISSION STATEMENT World Skate Judging Criteria has been created to foster continual progression of the sport while highlighting the importance of creativity and originality of skateboarding in competition. 2. JUDGING PHILOSOPHY Skateboarding judging doesn’t exist to standardize or create a definition of what is considered good skateboarding; it is strictly a tool to rank performance of skateboarders against each other in any given competition. ● Scoring is based on judging a moment in time. Judging does not rank with respect to past performance or ability; with respect to gender; with respect to adversity, e.g. coming back from an injury or bad slam, etc. ● Judging ranks the skater’s performance against the CURRENT field—tricks and execution only. 3. OVERALL IMPRESSION ● The judging panel will use the below criteria to formulate a single score based on overall impression of a skater’s performance within the parameters of the competition. 4. JUDGING CRITERIA (in order of priority) ● Difficulty ○ Trick Performed ○ Obstacle Selection ○ Repetition ■ Tricks ■ Trick Components ● Execution ○ Quality of Execution (pre-landing) ○ Style ■ Fluidity / Power / Aggression / Aesthetics (subjective) ■ Speed (objective) ■ Height / Distance (objective) ■ Quality of Landing (objective) ● Use of Course ○ Quantity of Tricks ■ More tricks are typically better, but a higher number of tricks will not necessarily result in a higher score, as the value of difficulty and execution are more important in formulating an overall impression score.

  • An Ethnolexicography of the Skateboarding Subculture
    AN ETHNOLEXICOGRAPHY OF THE SKATEBOARDING SUBCULTURE By HO’OMANA NATHAN HORTON Bachelor of Arts in English Oklahoma Wesleyan University Bartlesville, OK 2013 Master of Arts in English Oklahoma State University Stillwater, OK 2015 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY July, 2020 AN ETHNOLEXICOGRAPHY OF THE SKATEBOARDING SUBCULTURE Dissertation Approved: Dennis R. Preston Adviser Carol Moder Chair Nancy Caplow G. Allen Finchum ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work is dedicated to the memory of my grandfather, Hershall "Jigger" Horton, a true craftsman, who taught me that there are so many important, valuable skills and tools that can’t be learned in a classroom alone. And to Mrs. Carol Preston, the most welcoming and genuine person I think I've ever known, who always kept my desk well- stocked with humanitarian literature, and who cared so sincerely about everyone she met, and taught me to care for people and our planet more deeply every day. First and foremost, I want to thank my adviser, Dr. Dennis Preston, whose encouragement and mentorship have fueled this project from the start. When I started graduate school, I don't think I would ever have imagined I'd be writing a dissertation about skateboarding, but your genuine interest in this topic, and all that you've done to help me go beyond description and into a deeper understanding of language and society have enabled this work. I thank you also for bringing me on as a lab assistant in 2014 when I was just a grungy little skater with very little idea of what I was doing in academia.

For most skateboarders and in-line skaters skating is not only a sport, but a way of life. Skating is the latest trend and has already become a ubiquitous aspect of our mobile culture. The perfect combination of fun and sport already has more than 17 million fans in Europe. What was once a sporting trend has long become the most popular fitness sport in our towns and cities. Skateboarding is one of the most important sports performed by young people all over the world. The main meeting points for skaters are roads, cycling paths and public squares, so that problems with other road users and pedestrians are to be expected.That is why we have to create zones for our children and young people in which they can satisfy their "thirst for adventure" without becoming a problem for others. We can help you to provide attractive and multifunctional activity zones that correspond exactly with young people's needs. More and more skateboarders, in-line skaters and BMX bikers worldwide enthuse about the skating facilities. Over many years of cooperation with the "skaters" in Europe we have developed products that can stand up to any international comparison.The ratio between the length, breadth and height of the skating facilities are perfectly adapted to one another, thus producing ideal skating conditions.
