Concept For: Australian Skateboarding Book David Pang 11Aug2005 Concept for: Australian Skateboarding Book David Pang 11Aug2005 Proposal: To create the definitive coffee table book on skateboarding in Australia, with a key principle to be unbiased toward any sector of skateboarding and coverage (individual, company, location, photographer, writer etc). Vertical, street will be the majority of the focus but other areas (luge, slalom, cross country, speed etc) will not be overlooked. My concept is to implement this publication in a co-operative manner in which all contributors accept the risk in this publication, but if the final product is the quality and success that I hope it will be, we will have all agreed on the percentage contribution that we have all made towards this product and we will share the fruits of the publications success (once a profit has been realised). The baseline- standard I am aiming for is: • Indy’s Built to grind; http://www.independenttrucks.com/book/index.htm • Disposable- skate deck history; http://disposablethebook.com/ • Legend, Dog Town and the Z boys; http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0964191644/ref=sib_dp_pt/102- 4349672-5424160#reader-page • Media and personalities (clippings and stories) for each era and state! o (Please send in any clippings {with relevant details;

  • 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.

A Study of Authenticity and Nike SB Brandon Gomez Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/ms_thesis Part of the Marketing Commons, and the Sports Studies Commons Recommended Citation Gomez, Brandon, "How Did Nike Get the Swoosh into Skateboarding? A Study of Authenticity and Nike SB" (2012). Media Studies - Theses. 3. https://surface.syr.edu/ms_thesis/3 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Media Studies - Theses by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Skateboarding is widely regarded as a subculture that is highly resistant to any type of integration or co-option from large, mainstream companies. In 2002 Nike entered the skateboarding market with its Nike SB line of shoes, and since 2004 has experienced tremendous success within the skateboarding culture. During its early years Nike experienced a great deal of backlash from the skateboarding community, but has recently gained wider acceptance as a legitimate company within this culture. The purpose of this study is to examine the specific aspects of authenticity Nike was able achieve in order to successfully integrate into skateboarding. In order to investigate the case of Nike SB specifically, the concept of company authenticity within skateboarding must first be clarified as well. This study involved an electronic survey of skateboarders.

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.

The initial approach was to pass an ordinance restricting this activity and then work with the business community and the police department to effectively enforce the ordinance. While this seems like a straightforward and sensible approach which would remedy the problem for the concerned business community, it turned out to be the action that inspired the skaters to seek a permanent place they could call their own. As you might expect, the police had a problem with this approach. They were required to enforce the ordinance, but had no good answer when they were asked, “If we can’t skate in the downtown, then where can we skate?” The eventual answer to this question came from an effort by the skating community to organize and lobby for a place they could use to practice and participate in their sport.
