Abstract Introduction: Skateboarding is one of the most popular cultures in Brazil, with more than 8.5 million skateboarders. Nowadays, the discipline of street skating has gained recognition among other more classical sports and awaits its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games. This study aimed to explore the state-of-the-art for inertial measurement unit (IMU) use in skateboarding trick detection, and to develop new classification methods using supervised machine learning and artificial neural networks (ANN).Methods: State-of-the-art knowledge regarding motion detection in skateboarding was used to generate 543 artificial acceleration signals through signal modeling, corresponding to 181 flat ground tricks divided into five classes (NOLLIE, NSHOV, FLIP, SHOV, OLLIE). The classifier consisted of a multilayer feed-forward neural network created with three layers and a supervised learning algorithm (backpropagation). Results: The use of ANNs trained specifically for each measured axis of acceleration resulted in error percentages inferior to 0.05%, with a computational efficiency that makes real-time application possible.

  • The Classification of Skateboarding Trick Manoeuvres Through the Integration of Image Processing Techniques and Machine Learning
    The Classification of Skateboarding Trick Manoeuvres Through the Integration of Image Processing Techniques and Machine Learning Muhammad Nur Aiman Shapiee, Muhammad Ar Rahim Ibrahim, Mohd Azraai Mohd Razman, Muhammad Amirul Abdullah, Rabiu Muazu Musa, Mohd Hasnun Arif Hassan and Anwar P.P. Abdul Majeed 1 Innovative Manufacturing, Mechatronics and Sports Laboratory, Universiti Malaysia Pahang. 26600 Pekan, Pahang Darul Makmur, MALAYSIA [email protected] Abstract: More often than not, the evaluation of skateboarding tricks executions are carried out subjectively based on the judges’ experience and hence are susceptible to biasness in not inaccurate judgement. Therefore, an objective and means of evaluating skateboarding tricks particularly in big competitions are non-trivial. This study aims at classifying skateboarding flat ground tricks namely Ollie, Kickflip, Shove-it, Nollie and Frontside 180 through camera vision and machine learning models. An amateur skateboarder (23 years of age ± 5.0 years’ experience) executed five tricks for each type of trick repeatedly on an ORY skateboard from camera distance at 1.26m on a cemented ground. From the images captures, a number of features were engineered via the Inception-V3 image embedder. A number of classification models were evaluated, namely, Support Vector Machine (SVM), k-Nearest Neighbour (kNN), Logistic Regression (LR), Random Forest (RF) and Naïve Bayes (NB) on their ability in classifying the tricks based on the engineered features. It was observed from the preliminary investigation that the SVM model attained the highest classification accuracy with a value of 99.5% followed by LR, k-NN, RF and NB with 98.6%, 95.8%, 82.4% and 78.7% respectively.

  • Reversing the Isolation and Inadequacies of Skateparks: Designing To
    REVERSING THE ISOLATION AND INADEQUACIES OF SKATEPARKS: DESIGNING TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE SKATEBOARDING INTO DOWNTOWN LURAY, VIRGINIA by DANIEL BENJAMIN PENDER (Under the Direction of Bruce K. Ferguson) ABSTRACT Skateboarding has become the fastest rising social sport in America. Historically, this sport tends to attract a stereotyped grungy, nomadic, “pack-oriented” crowd that thrives off of the buzz of performing tricks in urban spaces. Unfortunately, this self- expressive crowd, as well as the destructive nature of the sport, has caused much of the general public to form negative opinions of skateboarding. Because of this, in combination with recent trends to “green up” cities and to accommodate for the sport’s increasing popularity, skateboarding (both physically and socially) is being forced to the outskirts of communities where poorly-built, less accessible, and environmentally insensitive skateparks are taking the place of socially rich urban skating environments. This thesis investigates the social/environmental issues associated with isolated and inadequate skateparks and the implications they may have on the future of the sport. Insight gained is applied to a skatepark design for my hometown of Luray, Virginia.

  • Skateboarding: Ramp Tricks by Evan Goodfellow
    500 photos! More tricks you should know from the authors of Street Skateboarding: Endless Grinds and Slides and Street Skateboarding: Flip Tricks Uncorrected proofs Skateboarding: Ramp Tricks By Evan Goodfellow Nonfiction / Sports / Skateboarding Publication date: November 2006 Trade paper, 5.5 x 8.5, 176 pages, 500 photos, resources and index ISBN: 1-884654-26-6 Price: $12.95 Distributed by Independent Publishers Group (IPG) Summary Skate moves made on, over, or around wood ramps, cement bowls and half-pipes are a key, albeit challenging, component of skateboarding. Hundreds of captioned, sequential photographs demonstrate precisely how these exacting moves are safely made in this indispensable guide to 35 ramp tricks. Beginning with basic moves, including stalls, grinds, and slides, skaters gradually learn the particular positioning and bal- ance needed to perform more advanced tricks such as flips and airs. A brief history of ramp skateboarding examines the birth of the genre as well as champions of the sport, including the pioneering Dogtown Crew and current stars Bob Burnquist and Tony Hawk. Author Evan Goodfellow is a sponsored pro skater and skateboard instructor . He is the coauthor of Street Skateboarding: Endless Grinds and Slides and author of Street Skateboarding: Flip Tricks. He has costarred in eight skateboarding videos. Originally from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Goodfellow and wife are currently teaching in South Korea.

  • 'Tis the Season for Reaching
    Paul Revere Charter Middle School and Magnet Center Friday, December 18, 2020 Volume 65, Issue 2 ’Tis the Season for Reaching Out The holidays offer everyone a chance to support each other in a challenging time. By TAMARA GEAR For many people, 2020 has been a hard year and there is no better time than this holiday season for Patriots to reach out, and show appreciation to their community. In the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, Paul Revere began its second annual Soles4Good shoe drive. Where Patriots donated gently worn shoes to El Salvador’s Soles4Good. Soles4Good is an organization where women can have access to shoes which they can buy for very low prices. This encourages them to fund and create their own micro-businesses by using some of the profits from the shoes that were donated. “The 2nd Annual Soles4Good Shoe Drive went extremely well. We had another successful event,” said Paul Revere parent Fati Adeli. Other volunteers who were involved in the shoe drive were Paul Revere students Kate Lee, (continued on page 2) Eighth-grader Leena Adeli safely transfers holiday gifts to her former teacher Mr. Hernandez.

  • Learn Street Skateboarding Through 3D Simulations of Angle Rotations
    Journal of Information Technology Education Volume 9, 2010 Learn Street Skateboarding through 3D Simulations of Angle Rotations Erwin Adi, I Gde Made Krisna Aditya, and Meriyana Citrawati BINUS International – BINUS University, Jakarta, Indonesia [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Executive Summary Learning physical activities such as sports and games is expensive and time-consuming. A com- mon advice is “repetition makes perfection,” which implies that wrong actions must soon be no- ticed and avoided. A knowledgeable tutor is often required to provide good feedback for that pur- pose. However, this facility is available only for those who can afford tutorial fees and time ar- rangements must be made well in advance. Books and videos are often treated as a more affordable media for learning. However, books and videos show a two dimension picture, while the audience might like to see how a particular move is performed from another angle. Quite often, books and videos do not show the picture that its audience would like to visualize. For example, one skateboarding trick is actually best viewed from the back in order to clearly show how it is done; however, most two dimension pictures show the trick from the front where the result of the trick is nicely shown. A computer software application allows a user to see an object through a three dimensional ex- perience by rotating the object. We adopt this technique to introduce a 3D medium that allows its user to view how skateboarding tricks are done. Specifically, we implement a 3D simulation software application that teaches the fundamental skills involved in street skateboarding.
