Abstract:
Physical activity is commonly conceived of in terms of its human involvement – as a test of, and testament to, human ability. However, physical activity does not exist without the contributions of countless non-human agencies, such as equipment and environments, with which the athletes work closely and form relationships. As such, athletes have a unique understanding of non-human agency. In this article I analyse the power of non-human agency in skateboarding through the representations of the professional skateboarder Rodney Mullen and filmmaker Spike Jonze. I examine their lectures, interviews, and films to show the ways in which skateboarders experience, practice, and represent the principles of actor-network theory (ANT). Skateboarders utilise and manipulate the often-unanticipated potential of non-human tools and urban landscapes and translate them into a collaborative result. Skateboarding is a trial-and-error experiment of testing, innovating, and adapting possibilities and limitations set by a network of mediators including people and ‘things’. Mullen and Jonze commonly depict skateboarding as the product of networks rather than independent human action. Their representations reveal how skateboarders perceive and act out their role as humans within networks alongside non-human agencies such as skateboards and obstacles, and which combine to produce skateboarding.

Abstract:
The identification and prediction of athletic talent are pivotal in the development of successful sporting careers. Traditional subjective assessment methods have proven unreliable due to their inherent subjectivity, prompting the rise of data-driven techniques favoured for their objectivity. This evolution in statistical analysis facilitates the extraction of pertinent athlete information, enabling the recognition of their potential for excellence in their respective sporting careers. In the current study, we applied a logistic regression-based machine learning pipeline (LR) to identify potential skateboarding athletes from a combination of fitness and motor skills performance variables. Forty-five skateboarders recruited from a variety of skateboarding parks were evaluated on various skateboarding tricks while their fitness and motor skills abilities that consist of stork stance test, dynamic balance, sit ups, plank test, standing broad jump, as well as vertical jump, were evaluated. The performances of the skateboarders were clustered and the LR model was developed to classify the classes of the skateboarders. The cluster analysis identified two groups of skateboarders: high and low potential skateboarders. The LR model achieved 90% of mean accuracy specifying excellent prediction of the skateboarder classes. Further sensitivity analysis revealed that static and dynamic balance, lower body strength, and endurance were the most important factors that contributed to the model’s performance. These factors are therefore essential for successful performance in skateboarding. The application of machine learning in talent prediction can greatly assist coaches and other relevant stakeholders in making informed decisions regarding athlete performance.

Abstract:
Basic maneuvers in skateboarding, such as the ollie, put the player at high risk for ankle injuries because of the position of the feet required to perform the maneuvers. This study investigated ankle stability and reaction time for the tibialis anterior, fibularis longus, and fibularis brevis in professional and amateur skateboarders. In total, 16 professional and 16 amateur skateboarders were recruited as participants and underwent range of motion assessments, balance testing, and muscle reaction time measurements. The results revealed that professional skateboarders had a significantly smaller inversion angle compared to amateur players, which suggested better joint control and hence greater safety in the former. Balance testing results indicated better balance in professional skateboarders, and healthy skateboarders had better balance than did injured professional and amateur skateboarders. No significant difference in muscle reaction time was observed between amateur and professional skateboarders.

Abstract:
Background: Skateboarding is also an extreme sport and in Indonesia it is not very popular but has the potential to be liked by young people in Singaraja Bali. Due to the nature of skateboarding, including high speeds and extreme maneuvers, such as jumping from heights and performing extreme movements that can injure the joint bearing of the knee, injuries often occur when a skateboarder collides with an inanimate object, falling off the skateboard. Knee support is made of elastic material with medial and lateral supports made of metal. Elastic material that has the ability to stretch and return to its original state quickly so that it serves as a fixation on the knee that suffers from knee pain. With the fixation on the knee as well as support and stabilizer on the knee joint will relieve pain in patients with knee pain so it is expected to reduce pain. Method: The research design of the effect of the use of knee support to knee pain of skateboard players is a type of quantitative research using a quasi-experimental design with one group pre and posttest design. Data was collected in the Singaraja Bali sports hall in September - December 2020. Skateboarders' knee pain was measured using a VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) questionnaire. The population is 14 skateboarders who play at the Singaraja Bali sports hall. All respondents were sampled using the total sampling method. Result: There were 11 males and 3 females as respondents. Pre-test Knee pain VAS score before using knee support is average of 5.93 while the post test score after using knee support for two weeks is average of 2.14. Normality data using the Shapiro Wilk result is not normally distributed. The result of Wilcoxon is p value 0.001. P value is less than 0.05. So it can be concluded that the use of knee support has a significant effect in reducing knee pain in skateboarders. Conclusion: there is an effect of the use of knee support to knee pain of skateboard players. It is advisable for skateboarders to wear knee support when feeling pain while skateboarding.

Abstract:
Skateboarding as a method of transportation has become prevalent, which has increased the occurrence and likelihood of pedestrian–skateboarder collisions and near-collision scenarios in shared-use roadway areas. Collisions between pedestrians and skateboarders can result in significant injury. New approaches are needed to evaluate shared-use areas prone to hazardous pedestrian–skateboarder interactions, and perform real-time, in situ (e.g., on-device) predictions of pedestrian–skateboarder collisions as road conditions vary due to changes in land usage and construction. A mechanism called the Surrogate Safety Measures for skateboarder–pedestrian interaction can be computed to evaluate high-risk conditions on roads and sidewalks using deep learning object detection models. In this paper, we present the first ever skateboarder–pedestrian safety study leveraging deep learning architectures. We view and analyze state of the art deep learning architectures, namely the Faster R-CNN and two variants of the Single Shot Multi-box Detector (SSD) model to select the correct model that best suits two different tasks: automated calculation of Post Encroachment Time (PET) and finding hazardous conflict zones in real-time. We also contribute a new annotated data set that contains skateboarder–pedestrian interactions that has been collected for this study. Both our selected models can detect and classify pedestrians and skateboarders correctly and efficiently. However, due to differences in their architectures and based on the advantages and disadvantages of each model, both models were individually used to perform two different set of tasks. Due to improved accuracy, the Faster R-CNN model was used to automate the calculation of post encroachment time, whereas to determine hazardous regions in real-time, due to its extremely fast inference rate, the Single Shot Multibox MobileNet V1 model was used. An outcome of this work is a model that can be deployed on low-cost, small-footprint mobile and IoT devices at traffic intersections with existing cameras to perform on-device inferencing for in situ Surrogate Safety Measurement (SSM), such as Time-To-Collision (TTC) and Post Encroachment Time (PET). SSM values that exceed a hazard threshold can be published to an Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker, where messages are received by an intersection traffic signal controller for real-time signal adjustment, thus contributing to state-of-the-art vehicle and pedestrian safety at hazard-prone intersections.

Abstract:
Responding to the call of Wheaton to discuss the position of older participants in lifestyle sports, this research presents an analysis of the experiences of middle-aged skateboarders. Through qualitative interviews, ethnographic observation, and discourse analysis of skateboard media, skateboarding is revealed to be an integral part of the biographies and identities of middle-aged skateboarders. These accounts challenge the imaging of skateboarding as a youth culture and indicate that age and time have an important currency to skateboarders. The value of age is not confined to middle-aged skateboarders but is also observable in skateboard media which corresponds with the values held more broadly in skateboard culture. The concept of temporal capital is proposed as a way to make sense of the experiences of middle-aged skateboarders, highlighting how time is at once a path to subcultural authenticity, but also a resource to be managed and scheduled for their continued engagement in skateboarding.

Abstract:
As the popularity of longboarding increases, trauma centers are treating an increased number of high severity injuries. Current literature lacks descriptions of the types of injuries experienced by longboarders, a distinct subset of the skateboarding culture. A retrospective review of longboarding and skateboarding injury cases was conducted at a level II trauma center from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2011. Specific injuries in addition to high injury severity factors (hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), patient treatment options, disposition, and outcome) were calculated to compare longboarder to skateboarder injuries. A total of 824 patients met the inclusion criteria. Skull fractures, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) were significantly more common among longboard patients than skateboarders (P<0.0001). All patients with an ISS above 15 were longboarders. Hospital and ICU LOS in days was also significantly greater for longboarders compared with skateboarders (P<0.0001). Of the three patients that died, each was a longboarder and each experienced a head injury. Longboard injuries account for a higher incidence rate of severe head injuries compared to skateboard injuries. Our data show that further, prospective investigation into the longboarding population demographics and injury patterns is necessary to contribute to effective injury prevention in this population.

Abstract:
This talk describes the motivation, design and implementation behind the AI for the NPC Skateboarders in skate. The complexity of the physically driven locomotion used in skate means that, at any given point, there is an extremely large number of degrees of freedom in potential motion. In addition to this, the rules governing whether it is possible to navigate from any given point A to a secondary point B are entirely dependent on the skateboarder's state at point A. The state required at point A involves a large number of variables, as well as a complex set of previously executed maneuvers to have reached it.

Abstract:
This paper considers skateboarding practices in urban public spaces. Often subversive, the interactions between skateboarders and built features are also regularly captured in visual imagery in print and online. The paper documents encounters between skateboarders and the built environment using visual geographic information and photo representation. Through content analysis of imagery from Instagram posts and Thrasher magazine, the aim is to organize visual/volunteered data to represent the varied types of interactions between skateboarders and particular features of the built environment. The images suggest that skateboarders seek out structures that are typically elements within a corporate plaza or city hardscape such as stairs, rails, planters. This imagery provides large amounts of data that researchers may cull in order to improve understanding of the ways such features are experienced, and of the potential conflicts that arise when a variety of users interact. The broader significance of the research contributes to the growing body of work that positions skateboarding as a legitimate practice in urban public spaces. Scholars, practitioners of architecture, and planners, among others may continue to engage with visualization methods to consider skateboarding as an evolving, responsive, embodied practice.

Abstract:
Background: Skateboarding is a sport that utilizes a wheeled board as its equipment. As time progresses, skateboarding has evolved into one of the branches of professional sports, even having official competitions. It is popular among a wide range of young people and adults. Skateboarders must have good balance to stabilize their bodies and minimize the risk of falling and injury. It is maintaining balance while skateboarding requires strength in leg muscles, including flexors, extensors, dorsiflexors, plantar flexors, invertors, and evertors, with proper contraction ratios to stay balanced. The researchers aimed to investigate the relationship between leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in skateboard players. Skateboard players with greater leg muscle strength tend to maintain their balance better when performing tricks and maneuvers on the skateboard. Methods: The research was observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach. Purposive sampling was employed to select participants, resulting in a sample size of 51 skateboarders. Data collection involved measuring leg muscle strength and dynamic balance. Leg muscle strength was measured using a leg dynamometer, while dynamic balance was assessed using the y balance test. Results: The results showed a relationship between leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in skateboarders. Most samples exhibit muscular leg muscle strength, leading to a favorable dynamic balance. Conclusion: From the research findings, it can be concluded that there is a strong, significant, and inverse relationship between leg muscle strength and dynamic balance in skateboarders.

Full text
Abstract:
The main phenomena the thesis seeks to understand are resistance and space. The aims of the thesis are theoretical and empirical. Theoretically, the thesis examines different perspectives on resistance and space and draws on them to provide useful insights on the concepts. Empirically, it explores the experiences of skateboarders and graffiti writers in Manchester. The literature on graffiti writers and skateboarders often mentions 'resistance' in relation to the activities of the two groups. Such work, however, usually does not engage in a detailed, conceptual investigation of the concept and usually assumes rather than demonstrate how the use of the concept can be justified by reference to the day-to-day activities of the two groups (see for example Ferrell 1993, 1995, Borden 2001 and Flusty 2000). This thesis aims to fill this gap. The frrst chapter provides an introduction to the thesis. The second chapter explores perspectives on resistance. As the thesis progressed empirically, it became very pertinent to conceptually investigate the subject of space and this is the focus of the third chapter. The fourth chapter discusses the methodology and research design of the thesis. The necessity of demonstrating concretely what work the theoretical insights of the space chapter could do resulted in a fifth chapter on Manchester. In this chapter, Manchester as space and as the site of the empirical investigation of this thesis is explored. The sixth chapter presents themes that emerged from fieldwork with Manchester graffiti writers and skateboarders. The conclusion chapter draws together the main themes and arguments of the thesis. One of the main arguments of the thesis is that Manchester, the site of the empirical interests of the study, can be seen as a space over which diverse groups struggle. This struggle, it is argued, is brought about by the divergent interests and visions of different groups in the city. These groups are seen as all attempting in various ways to bring about spatial realities that accord with their interests. In this multiple enactment of spatial realities some social actors have greater resources at their disposal to bring to pass their interests in Manchester as space. These are 'the powerful'. There are other 'producers of space' - the weak or the 'less powerful' - these have relatively marginal resources in appropriating Manchester's spaces. The thesis argues that skateboarders and graffiti writers fall into this category. When their interests and visions in Manchester fall foul of the interests of more powerful groups,conflict, the thesis shows, ensues. It is in this conflict in definitions of Manchester as a resource for the enactment of interests that we find the skateboarder's and graffiti writer's resistance. The skateboarder and graffiti writer finds that to play in the city can bring him/her in conflict with the law. Subcultural members find out in the course of playing in the city that their activities are defined differendy by more powerful groups. What seems to be merely play turns out to be defined as crime and 'anti-social behaviour' by groups with the backing of the law. By insisting on engaging in what may be described as 'dissident play', members set themselves in opposition and resistance to certain aspects of the governance of space in the city. The thesis also brings to prominence theoretical insights that can be found in the literature on resistance and space and provides ways of approaching the subjects that may prove useful for future work in the areas.

Abstract:
In recent years research and planning efforts to enhance the conditions and opportunities for active transportation modes have increased significantly; however, these efforts have primarily focused on pedestrians and bicyclists. Skateboarding and other alternative modes of mobility remain an untapped potential for healthy and sustainable travel. This research addresses numerous knowledge gaps in the literature on utilitarian skateboarding under the larger umbrella of active transportation. Analysis of online survey results and semi-structured interviews with skateboarders in Portland, OR provides insight into the motivations and barriers of traveling by skateboard and the demographics and perceptions of skateboard commuters. Like bicyclists and pedestrians, skateboarders value safe, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing places to travel and are sensitive to surface conditions, distance, and slope. These similarities present a unique opportunity for cities to create facilities that accommodate diverse users. Disaggregating results by the respondents' gender, skill level, and frequency of transportation-oriented skateboarding highlights significant differences in levels of perceived safety and the practicality of utilitarian skateboarding. The findings have implications for the future of active transportation planning which support Elaine Stratford's vision of "generous geographies that allow for more, and playful, mobilities in the city."

Schools hope that skateboarders follow the instituted rules. The skateboarders adopt a life style where the body is free to express/move under skating practice. Then comes this tense relationship between educational institutions and the young skateboarders. The educational rules may represent biopolitic estructures that act under the younger’s bodies. In this hard situation, we realise that schools and skateboarders influence each other dialectically. For the belief that schools need to rethink their pedagogical relationship about skateboarders, they went established as object of analysis. The adopted theme of this study – in the research area Education, Society and Culture, of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program, in Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás – is: The skateboarders’s relationship with his bodies at school. As a guiding question, it pretends to answer the following problem: How do young skateboarders give meaning to his bodies’s apropiation at school? In general, it was reflected about how young skateboarders give meaning to his bodies’s apropriation at school. And especifically 1) it checks how the young skateboarders’s bodies has been discuted in the academic space; 2) it analyzes the young skateboarders’s bodies while social dimension that’s historical built in streets, skate lanes and schools; and 3) it’s under study how the young skateboarders realise his own bodies at school. The target public of this study are skateboarders from 15 to 29 years old, high-school students. It was needed to understand how much they knew about this theme and make all the bibliographical search. Field research was needed to discover the target public, who was 7 young guys, being 3 from female sex and 4 from male sex. All the information was colected throught mixed questionaires and half structured interview. The information were interpreted throught qualitative reference. Among used authors, it’s needed to mencionate Adorno and Horkheimer (1985); Bourdieu (1998); Foucault (2004); Marcuse (1981a); and Marx and Engels (2001). It’s beliavable that throught this study it can find many other views that contributes for the school to reflect about young skateboarders bodies’s education in front of emancipation.
As escolas esperam que os skatistas obedeçam às regras instituídas. Os skatistas adotam forma de vida onde o corpo é livre para se expressar/movimentar mediante a prática do skate. Daí surge tensa relação entre as instituições de ensino e os jovens skatistas. As regras educacionais podem representar estruturas biopolíticas que incidem sobre os corpos da juventude. Nesta conflitante relação vê-se que escolas e skatistas se influenciam dialeticamente. Pelo fato de acreditar que as escolas precisam repensar sua relação pedagógica com os skatistas é que se estabeleceu o corpo destes como objeto de pesquisa. O tema adotado no estudo – inserido na linha de pesquisa Educação, Sociedade e Cultura, do Programa de Pós-Graduação Stricto Sensu, da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Goiás – foi: A relação dos jovens skatistas com o corpo na escola. Como questão norteadora pretendeu-se responder ao seguinte problema: Como os jovens skatistas dão sentido a apropriação de seus corpos na escola? De forma geral refletiu-se a respeito de como os jovens skatistas dão sentido a apropriação de seus corpos na escola. E especificamente 1) verificou-se como o corpo dos jovens skatistas vem sendo discutido no cenário acadêmico; 2) analisou-se o corpo dos jovens skatistas enquanto dimensão social que se constrói historicamente na rua, pista de skate e escola; e 3) investigou-se como os jovens skatistas percebem os seus corpos na escola. O público do estudo foram skatistas, de 15 a 29 anos, estudantes do ensino médio. Realizou-se pesquisa bibliográfica e o estado do conhecimento do objeto. Recorreu-se à pesquisa de campo para descobrir o público do estudo, sendo 7 jovens das quais 3 foram do sexo feminino e 4 do masculino. Coletaram-se os dados através de questionários mistos e entrevista semiestruturada. Os dados foram interpretados pelo referencial qualitativo. Dentre os autores utilizados citam-se Adorno e Horkheimer (1985); Bourdieu (1998); Foucault (2004); Marcuse (1981a); e Marx e Engels (2001). Acreditase que pela pesquisa contemplam-se perspectivas que contribuam para que as escolas reflitam criticamente acerca da educação do corpo dos jovens skatistas rumo à emancipação.

The Skate Plazas emerge in the early 2000s as a possible model to build skating rinks. This model came with a view to building ever more like the places that are on city streets. Until then beyond the most common obstacles found on the streets, as the boxes, rails and stairs, ramps were part of the tracks that were being built. On newer models Skate Plaza with less intensity we see this type of obstacle. Today, construction of Skate Plazas, if favor boxes, stairs, gaps and rails. We understand that modality street skate past decade has undergone transformations regarding the techniques and even with respect to the identity construction of the street skater. Thus, in Ponta Grossa, some skaters linked the 80 and 90 still have the ramps as a fundamental obstacle to the practice of street skating, while others say follow the trend Skate Plaza. The construction of a small Skate Plaza in 2011 in Complex Environmental Governor Manoel Ribas ended up creating an uncomfortable situation for skaters of Ponta Grossa. The trend assumed in the construction of barriers not just pleasing some skateboarders who still understand the ramps as a major obstacle to the practice of skateboarding. Therefore, we have to analyze the arguments of these two groups of skaters, skateboarders emphasizing the action of identifying themselves with the Skate Plazas, since the works were based on the opinions of this group skaters. To obtain the data, and participant observation, interviews were open from which we sought to understand the position tken by skateboarders regarding Skate Plaza built. The observations and interviews were conducted in the month of September of the year 2011 and the month of January 2012. Based on the theoretical framework of Norbert Elias and based on information published by magazines and videos specializing in themed skateboard, we intend to explore the nterrelationships and interdependencies of the skate spot that eventually characterize the space with the Skate Plaza and further investigate the implications of this public work for the group of skater site.
As Skate Plazas surgem no início dos anos 2000 como um modelo possível na construção de pistas de skate. Este modelo surgiu na perspectiva de uma construção cada vez mais semelhante dos lugares que se encontram nas ruas das cidades. Até então além dos obstáculos mais comuns encontrados nas ruas, como os caixotes, os trilhos e as escadas, as rampas faziam parte das pistas que vinham sendo construídas. Nos modelos mais recentes de Skate Plaza vemos com menor intensidade a este tipo de obstáculo. Hoje, na construção das Skate Plazas, se privilegiam caixotes, escadas, gaps e trilhos. Temos entendido que a modalidade street skate nestes últimos dez anos vem sofrendo transformações com relação as técnicas e mesmo com relação a construção da identidade do skatista de rua. Neste sentido, em Ponta Grossa, alguns skatistas ligados às décadas de 80 e 90 ainda tem as rampas como um obstáculo fundamental para a prática do skate de rua, enquanto outros, dizem acompanhar a tendência Skate Plaza. A construção de uma pequena Skate Plaza no ano de 2011 no Complexo Ambiental Governador Manoel Ribas acabou criando uma situação desconfortável aos skatistas de Ponta Grossa. A tendência assumida na construção dos obstáculos acabou não agradando alguns skatistas que ainda entendem as rampas como obstáculo fundamental para a prática do skate.

As observações e entrevistas As Skate Plazas surgem no início dos anos 2000 como um modelo possível na construção de pistas de skate. Este modelo surgiu na perspectiva de uma construção cada vez mais semelhante dos lugares que se encontram nas ruas das cidades. Até então além dos obstáculos mais comuns encontrados nas ruas, como os caixotes, os trilhos e as escadas, as rampas faziam parte das pistas que vinham sendo construídas. Nos modelos mais recentes de Skate Plaza vemos com menor intensidade a este tipo de obstáculo. Hoje, na construção das Skate Plazas, se privilegiam caixotes, escadas, gaps e trilhos. Temos entendido que a modalidade street skate nestes últimos dez anos vem sofrendo transformações com relação as técnicas e mesmo com relação a construção da identidade do skatista de rua. Neste sentido, em Ponta Grossa, alguns skatistas ligados às décadas de 80 e 90 ainda tem as rampas como um obstáculo fundamental para a prática do skate de rua, enquanto outros, dizem acompanhar a tendência Skate Plaza. A construção de uma pequena Skate Plaza no ano de 2011 no Complexo Ambiental Governador Manoel Ribas acabou criando uma situação desconfortável aos skatistas de Ponta Grossa. A tendência assumida na construção dos obstáculos acabou não agradando alguns skatistas que ainda entendem as rampas como obstáculo fundamental para a prática do skate. Sendo assim, tem-se por objetivo analisar a argumentação destes dois grupos de skatistas, enfatizando a atuação dos skatistas que se identificam com as Skate Plazas, visto que as obras se pautaram nas opiniões deste grupo skatistas.

Abstract:
Na presente pesquisa trato inicialmente a diversas abordagens teóricas que contribuem minimamente para delinear as temáticas sobre jovens e juventude, no lazer. Diante destas inúmeras possibilidades teóricas, procuro não advogar em prol de uma teoria, mas procuro compreender como estas auxiliam-me a dar os contornos do debate, já que, que também não encontro um consenso entre os diversos estudos. Foco minha empreitada teórica nos jovens e como estes vivem seu cotidiano, trago elementos que discutem o lazer, família, educação e trabalho. A fim de atender aos questionamentos que elaboro, recorro à pesquisa etnográfica. Pesquisa esta que realizei com um grupo de jovens praticantes de skate (os “calças coladas”), na pista pública de skate do bairro IAPI na cidade de Porto Alegre - RS. Foram ao todo nove meses de observação direta, no qual relatei cada observação em Diários de Campo, totalizando 70 diários ao final do período. Com o intuito de cobrir as lacunas deixadas pela observação direta, recorri também a entrevistas semi-estruturadas. De posse desses materiais produzidos descrevi o contexto em três Capítulos subsequentes. A pista: o local onde ocorreu a pesquisa, no qual pude acompanhar os “calças coladas” e as disputas ocorridas na pista. Descrevo primeiramente os aspectos materiais da pista, e posteriormente os aspectos simbólicos, configurando assim, a pista. Na pista, ainda descrevo seu jogo e o movimento na pista, e as implicações destes aspectos simbólicos, a partir da perspectiva do grupo dos “calças coladas”. Este grupo que descrevo no Capítulo seguinte: Os “calças coladas” são um grupo predominantemente de jovens, mas ainda considero sua heterogeneidade. Procuro descrever a distinção que há entre os “calças coladas” e os “calças largas”, alguns destes últimos já foram descritos na pesquisa de Bastos (2006) quando acompanhou a trajetória de profissionalização de alguns skatistas, a forma pela qual estes passavam a viver do skate. Distinção entre esses grupos que se dava num primeiro olhar por suas vestimentas, mas que compreendi como muito mais complexas, para além de suas calças. Apesar da distinção e disputa com o outro, os “calças coladas” mesmo tendo seu skate praticado no lazer, não deixam de projetar suas expectativas no skate dos “calças largas”, ou seja, também projetavam viver do skate. Com isso os jovens “calças coladas” procuravam se manter no skate, uma das formas pela qual eles conseguiam foi pelo que chamavam de “apoio”, que era conferido em grande parte pela rede de relações que o grupo construiu na pista. Mas por vezes o “apoio” não era o suficiente para os jovens manter seus projetos, e tão pouco as aspirações de suas famílias. Com isso chego ao último Capítulo descritivo: Os “calças coladas”: as relações dos significados do skate com a família, educação e trabalho. No momento final procuro compreender como o lazer dos jovens que se dava pela prática do skate, se relacionava como outros aspectos de seu cotidiano. Os jovens necessitavam de conciliar as cobranças de suas famílias que recaiam sobre eles. Cobranças estas que também se encontravam no ambiente de trabalho, além das rotulações e estereótipos. Rotulações impostas “de fora”, algo que também acontecia na escola. Mas ao fim percebo que os jovens passam por tudo isso com o propósito de manterem seus projetos no skate.
In the present research I primarily deal with the diverse theoretical approaches that minimally contribute to delineate the thematic on youngsters and youth in leisure. Facing these countless theoretical possibilities, I try not to advocate for a theory, but to understand the way they help me outline this debate, since I cannot find a consensus among the numerous studies. I focus my theoretical task on the youngsters and the way they live their everyday, I bring elements that discuss leisure, family, education and work. In order to answer the questions I make, I resort to ethnographic research. I have performed this research with a group of youngsters practitioners of skateboarding (the “tight pants”), in the public skateboarding track of the IAPI district in the city of Porto Alegre- RS/Brazil. A total of nine months of direct observations were made, in which I reported every observation in the Field Diaries, totalizing 70 journals in the end of the period. In order to cover the gaps left by direct observation, I have also appealed to semi-structured interviews. With this produced material, I have described the context in three subsequent chapters. The track: the place where the research was performed, in which I could follow the “tight pants” and the disputes that took place in the track. I firstly describe the material aspects of the track, and then the symbolic aspects, therefore configurating the track. Also in the track I describe its game and the movement on the track, and the implications of these symbolic aspects from the perspective of the “tight pants” group. This group, which I describe in the following chapter: “The “tight pants” are a group with predominance of Young people, but I still consider its heterogeneity. I try to describe the distinction existent between the “tight pants” and the “loose pants”, some of which were already described on Bastos (2006) when He followed the professionalization path of some skateboarders, and the way these people started making a living from skateboard. The distinction between these groups was made, in a first look, bay their clothing, but I understood them as much more complex, beyond their pants. Despite the distinction and dispute with the other. The “tight pants”, even if they practiced their skateboarding in leisure time, also projected their expectations in skating on the “loose pants”, that is, they also projected making a living from skateboarding. With this, the Young “tight pants” sought to continue skateboarding, and one of the ways they managed to do that was through what they called “support”, which was given, in a great deal, through the relations that the group has built in the track. But many times the “support” was not enough for the youngsters to keep their projects, nor the aspirations of their families. With this, I get to the final descriptive chapters: The “tight pants”: the relations of the meanings of skateboarding with family, education and work. In the final moment I try to understand the way the leisure of these youngsters, which took place through the practice of skateboarding, relates to other aspects of their everyday. They needed to reconcile the demands of their families over them. These demands were also found in the work environment, as well as labels and stereotypes. This labeling were imposed from others, what also took place in the school. But, in the end, I perceive that the youngsters GO through all of this with the purpose of maintaining their skateboarding projects.

Abstract:

I tidigare studier har det uppmärksammats hinder i den fysiska miljön och i bemötandet för skateboard på allmänna platser. Det har även visats att skateboardparker verkar främja skateboardutövandet. Denna studie syftar därmed till att kartlägga hinder och förutsättningar för skateboard och undersöka hur skateboardparker påverkar den fysiska aktiviteten. Det är även av intresse att studera hur de sociala faktorerna påverkar skateboardutövande då tidigare forskning tyder på att det är ett viktigt inslag i skateboardutövandet. Som metod använder sig studien av en kvalitativ design. Sammanlagt genomfördes 12 individuella intervjuer. Resultatet i studien tyder på att de största problemen med skateboard på allmänna platser är dåligt underlag och bristen på attraktiva platser att utöva sporten på. Det är en vedertagen uppfattning att skateboardparker påverkar utövarnas fysiska aktivitet positivt då deltagarna uppskattar att de åker mer skateboard tillföljd av tillgången av skateboardanläggningar. Skateboardparken bidrar även med en mötesplats för skateboardutövare vilket leder till en ökad social dimension av utövandet och ökar glädjen och nöjet i aktiviteten. Slutligen anses det därmed att skateboardparken är en arena som ökar både den fysiska aktiviteten och den sociala interaktionen bland utövarna.

Abstract:
Abstract Skateboards have been used as a means of transportation and extreme sports for decades. The forensic analysis of skateboard-related accidents requires knowledge of the kinematic characteristics of the skater-skateboard and skateboard-ground interactions to aid in the investigative process. Much of the existing skateboard research has focused on the motion of the skater-skateboard system. Few studies have investigated the interactions of the skateboard and the ground surface. The velocities and accelerations of a skateboard/skater system is not well defined in literature. A skateboard’s rolling resistance has also not been defined. Therefore, this study was conducted to describe the effect of rider mass and wheel bearing resistance on the rolling resistance of a skateboard. Understanding the dynamics of the skateboard and rider in relation to rolling resistance is critical to an investigator attempting to determine the behavior of a skateboard when reconstructing a skateboard related incident. In addition, the data that will be presented in this study is beneficial to a wide audience including, but not limited to; traffic safety, accident reconstruction, skateboard design, bearing design and useful life, and wheel design and useful life.

Abstract:
Abstract Skateboards have been used as a means of transportation and extreme sport participation for decades. However, the prevalence of skateboards as a source of transportation is increasing. The laws that permit skateboard users to travel in roadways and in pedestrian walkways can vary by state, city, or county, allowing for a large variance in travel speed and user behavior. The amount of data available for the average speed of skateboard users during travel and trick initiation is limited. This study will preliminarily describe the natural travel and trick initiation speeds of skateboard users. The data that is presented in this study is beneficial to a vast audience including, but not limited to: traffic safety, road and intersection design, accident reconstruction, skateboard design, bearing design and useful life, and wheel design and useful life. This is an observational study of users on public spaces; no personal identification or biometric data was collected.

Abstract:
The speed wobble is a phenomenon in nonlinear dynamics that can occur in many vehicles such as bicycles, motorbikes, skateboards and airplanes nose landing gear. The dynamic instability affects the steerable wheels of a vehicle and can lead to the loss of control. While for bikes, motorbikes and airplanes the dynamics and causes of the wobble are well known and the literature fully describes the subject, for the skateboard the literature is very poor and there is no paper which investigates this type of instability. In order to do that, the skateboard equations of motion were obtained through Lagrange formalism and Lagrange multipliers method was used to solve the non-holonomic constraints. A parametric stability study was carried out on the linearized equations of motion and the influence of different skateboard parameters was investigated. The main discovery is that the wobble doesn’t strictly depend on skateboard configuration, but the human control characteristics are predominant in the vehicle dynamics.
