  • Beginners Guide to Kite Boarding
    The Complete Beginner’s Guide About Kitesurfing What Is Kitesurfing? For some, it does not even ring a bell although, for others, it means everything and they build their life around it! Whether you have already witnessed it in person on your last vacation to the beach, maybe over the internet in your news feed or even in pop culture, for sure it made you wonder… What the heck are these guys doing dangling in the air under that big parachute? And how are they even doing it? If we were to talk to someone in the early 1960s about space exploration, let alone landing on the moon they would have thought we were crazy. What if we were to tell someone today that they can have the time of their life by practicing a water sport that involves standing up on a surfboard, strapped in a waist harness while being pulled along by a large kite up 25 meters in the air? That person probably wouldn’t believe it. Well, here we are today with hundreds of thousands of people learning and practicing kiteboarding every year. In this Complete Beginner’s Guide, we will go from the inception of the sport to where it is today and everything in between to understand what kitesurfing is all about. This guide will inform you about the history and origins of kitesurfing, the equipment, the environment, what it takes to become a kiter as well as the benefits of becoming one. Moreover, we will cover everything there is to know about the safety aspects of this action sport and the overall lifestyle and culture that has grown around it.

Our target demographic are intermediate skaters, who have at least 1-5 years of skating experience. During our user research, we found out that learning how to skate can be significantly challenging for beginners. There are two aspects of learning that we uncovered that is relevant for skating: (a) learning by doing and (b) play. “Learning by doing” refers to the practice of trial-and-error, repetition and “feel” (e.g., experiencing the equipment) and watching others. “Play” refers to the feelings of “adrenaline rush”, control, “intrinsic interest” [1] and the creative process of performing tricks and exploiting affordances in their immediate environments. After weighing three design alternatives, our group decided to proceed with the concept “MusiSkate”, a skateboard that provides real-time musical feedback to pre-defined ​ skating movements. This solution has the advantage of enhancing the user experience of skating through rich audio feedback, something that is demonstrated in other research [2].

  • MEMORANDUM – JABSOM Skateboard, Bicycle and Surfboard Policy the University Has an Obligation to Provide a Safe Environment An
    MEMORANDUM – JABSOM Skateboard, Bicycle and Surfboard Policy The University has an obligation to provide a safe environment and protect University property. JABSOM recognizes that students, faculty, and staff use a variety of means of transportation on campus. Although personal choice is important, JABSOM must consider the safety and well‐being of the campus community and our visitors as well as JABSOM property. Activities that include skateboarding may cause damage to sidewalks. In addition, there is a potential for injury to both the person doing the activity and the public at large. In an effort to balance our concern for community safety and the ability to use these means of transportation, the following policy applies to the use of bicycles and skateboards on campus (policies applicable to skateboards apply to roller‐skates and in‐line skates). Skateboarding, conducted in a reckless manner can be dangerous and presents a safety issue for pedestrians, as well as the skate boarder. Skateboarding has also caused significant damage to benches, walls, steps, curbs, and receptacles around campus. Nevertheless, skateboarding, when good judgment is exercised is an effective means to travel in urban areas. Skateboard (as well as roller skates and rollerblades) and bicycle use on JABSOM premises is allowed. However, it is the person on the skateboard or bicycle that is responsible for avoiding pedestrians and not the other way around. The use of these items, involves an assumption of personal risk. Persons who use them are personally liable for their actions Skateboards and bicycles shall be used solely to convey a person and shall not be used to perform tricks or carryout reckless or risky actions such as riding on ledges or using on steps.

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.
