There’s a serious lack of vert events these days. I feel like I’ve got to support as best I can.” SKB Men’s SKB Park Final Friday, July 16, 2021 Researcher: Colin Bane GOLD: Liam Pace (USA) SILVER: Gavin Bottger (USA) BRONZE: Tristan Rennie (USA) Pace and Bottger: Rookies Go Gold, Silver • Liam Pace put his stamp on the X Games 2021 Skateboard Park Final right from the jump, pasting a huge frontside wallride against the setback wall about 6 feet above the deck early in Run 1. Run 2 was his best pass and bumped him into the gold medal slot for good. The 20-year-old from Tucson, AZ, now will be known for more than just his flowing curls. • Liam attacked the course, bringing a more aggressive, um, pace to the contest. He charged. “I was a little bit nervous but excited that I skated and put down the run I wanted to: I didn’t care what happened besides that,” Pace told reporter Craig McMorris in his gold medal interview. “It feels like a dream. I haven’t processed it yet.” • It’s the first time in X Games history that Men’s Skateboard Park gold and silver both went to rookies, and it makes for a fairytale conclusion to the XG Minneapolis Next X Park amateur contests that ran from 2017-2019. The Next X Park series, meant to introduce young athletes to the big show at X Games, saw its promise fulfilled today: In 2019, Pace was the 2019 Next X Park winner, with today’s silver medalist Gavin Bottger right behind him in 2nd place (Bottger also finished 2nd in Next X Park in 2018). • Pace and Bottger’s success also is a testament to CA|TF itself: Pace relocated to nearby Oceanside, CA, in 2019 to be closer to the facility, and Bottger’s been living in Oceanside for most of his life. Both are CA|TF Elite members who skate the course often. It showed. Bottger: The Future Is Now • Gavin Bottger, the youngest in the Men’s SKB Park field at 14, struggled with falls in each of his first 4 passes. He came through in the nick of time, nailing Run 5, his final pass, with highlights including a backside 540 Weddle, kickflip Indy, 360 nosegrab over the box jump, 360 judo and Cab heelflip. • It’s the second major podium for Bottger in 2021: he finished 3rd at Dew Tour Des Moines in May. Bronze for Rennie • Park Bronze is the second X Games medal for Tristan Rennie, who previously took silver at XG Minneapolis 2018. • Rennie had full-pull runs in 4 of 5 passes, with highlights including a backside 540 nosegrab, a 360, a pole jam on a vertical support post in the shallow end of the course, and a backside blunt in the deep end. • So smooth and so stylish, Rennie sometimes makes things look so easy that judges may forget that they’re hard. After getting briefly bumped off the podium, he took it back from Tom Schaar in Run 5, his final attempt. • The new dad seemed perfectly happy with the result, and his partner Mikayla Sheppard and baby daughter, Isla, were on-site to cheer him onto the podium. Format: (8 athletes, 30-minute jam session, 40 seconds each run, best run counts) Gold: Liam Skating super-fast and pumping every wall and transition for all they were Pace worth, Liam meant business from the start. He took an early lead in Run 1 but was briefly bumped off the top spot by Tom Schaar, who dropped last. Gold Medal Run Pace reclaimed the No. 1 position in Run 2 and held on. Statement tricks like his frontside wallride (stamped HARD on the wall, at overhead height), backside 540 and Cab backside disaster were standouts, but he might have Medal Runs won on speed and flow alone. X Games judges love aggressive rippers, and Liam raised the pace (pardon the pun) of the entire comp. Run 2 highlights: a long backside Smith grind, backside 540, kickflip Indy, frontside wallride that was HIGH up the wall (he was the only rider doing it), frontside nosegrind, frontside 180 Ollie over the box jump, full Cab backside disaster. Silver: Falls early in his first 3 runs and a bail at the buzzer in Run 4 left Gavo Gavin playing catchup in Run 5. He delivered. The 14-year-old skates CA|TF often, Bottger and it showed. Run 5 highlights: backside 540 Weddle, kickflip Indy, 360 nosegrab over the box jump, 360 judo, Cab heelflip, kickflip fastplant on the spine ramp. That kickflip fastplant was a little sketchy, and it might have meant the difference between gold and silver. Bronze: Falls on 540s in Run 1 and 2 were uncharacteristic, but his overcrook to Tristan disaster in Run 1 was a contest highlight. He bumped to 3rd in Run 3, briefly Rennie lost it, then reclaimed it with his Run 5 pass, edging Tom Schaar for the podium. Run 5 highlights: backside 540 nosegrab, 360 to fakie, a pole jam on a vertical support post in the shallow end of the course and a backside blunt in the deep end. 4. Tom A podium favorite coming in and the leader after Run 1, Tom impressed with Schaar a back tail on the extension, alley-oop disaster, frontside feeble grind through the corner, McTwist, frontside blunt and frontside Ollie. He did pretty much the same run in all 5 passes, building up to a bigspin backside disaster ender, but fell on it at the buzzer in every run. Just one make would’ve had him on the podium, and perhaps in gold. Analyst Gary Rogers chastised him for losing his hat in every run. 5. Clay Clay’s frontside stalefish air, kickflip Indy, half-Cab to fakie and alley-oop Kreiner 540 were standout tricks, but falls in 4 of 5 passes didn’t help his case. Fast, reckless and fun, he added some flair to the contest but couldn’t deliver. May have had his mind on the Vert and Vert Best Trick comps to come later in the day. 6. Trey Trey had an innovative line with a wild gap transfer from the wall to the Wood center island box jump, but getting to it in every pass seemed to trip up the former XG Park medalist. Falls on 540 attempts throughout the contest cost him. 7. CJ A last-second add as a rookie from the alternate list, CJ had a great alley- Collins oop 360 and a big frontside alley-oop Ollie in several of his passes, but also had a bunch of falls. Missing practice on Thursday probably didn’t help. 8. Augusto Park debut for the Brazilian Vert skater showed some promise -- his heeflip Akio double grab combo in Run 1 got analyst Gary Rogers’ attention -- but his Vert skills weren’t showing; he fell on 540 attempts in several of his runs. Women’s SKB Park Final Friday, July 16, 2021 Researcher: Colin Bane GOLD: Sky Brown (GBR) SILVER: Mami Tezuka (JPN) BRONZE: Bryce Wettstein (USA) Sky’s the Limit for Teen Champ After riding a wave of hype into X Games 2021, Sky Brown delivered. The newly-turned 13-year-old handily won Women’s SKB Park with full-pull runs in all four passes and statement tricks like a frontside 540, kickflip Indy and frontside 360 that set her apart. She led after Run 1 and never let up. She took different lines and landed different tricks each run, which is highly unusual. Sky topped a podium that featured two other first-time medalists. • Though her frontside 540 in Run 1 was a contest highlight, Run 2 was arguably her best full pass, with a stylish, tweaked out frontside 360 over the jump box (the only competitor in the field not sending straight airs over the center island feature) to open the pass. • Sky turned 13 on July 7. Her win (briefly) made her the second-youngest gold medalist in X Games history. Gui Khury, 12, pushed Sky down to 3rd when he won SKB Vert Best Trick a few hours later and become the youngest gold medalist in history. • There now have been 6 unique gold medalists from the 7 Women’s SKB Park comps at X Games. It’s one of the most competitive discipline at X Games, and also the youngest. The average age of the 2021 podium was 16 yrs. 4 mos -- and that’s only the third-youngest podium in the discipline at X Games. • It’s Sky’s first medal in her second X Games appearance (5th at XG Minneapolis 2019). Mami Tezuka Takes Silver • Park riding the way it’s meant to be done -- speed, flow, aggression, hitting everything on the course and soaring over the biggest gaps -- makes Mami Tezuka a force to be reckoned with. • The Japanese teen had great, full-pull runs in 3 of 4 passes. She set herself apart by launching transfer airs in both directions between the vert extension and bank extension on the course, including a frontside stalefish air over the gap on the last wall of her last run that got the loudest reaction of the contest from the small crowd of friends, family and other XG 2021 competitors on hand.

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].

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.
