term paper As a subculture skateboarding was deeply influenced by interaction with the city and the fabric of urban space because in the late 1980s many skaters ‘discovered’ a free, accessible, and seemingly endless alternative terrain in the streets. If the practice of street skateboarding is based on “destruction of property, destruction of boards, destruction of the skater’s body,” on disrupting the intended meanings codified in urban space, then perhaps the representation of urban space in skateboard magazines and videos should be considered as a countermapping process. Skateboarders would do tricks up and down the staircases and over, down from, and across the various marble blocks and ledges that are the perfect shape, size, and texture for doing boardslides and grinds. www.geocities.com /pipeline/ridge/5014/benessay.html   (5758 words)

Attack of the MegaRamp By Bret Anthony Johnston The various forms of skateboarding have always fed one another: Street skaters borrowed the grinds and slides from pool riders, and vert skaters adopted the technical kick flips and shove-its from street skating. The MegaRamp combines a bunch of skateboarding's previous paradigms: the launch ramps, gaps, and banked landing pads of street skating and the quarterpipe and roll-ins of vert skating. The standard ramp that's been used in skating contests for years is the 12-foot, U-shaped halfpipe. www.slate.com /id/2124309?nav=tap3   (1050 words)

Skateboarding trick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Skateboarding tricks can involve varials, jumps, flips, grabs, slides, grinds and stalls, and may even be combined with twists of various multiples of 180 degrees. This classic trick, invented by Garry Scott Davis, dates back to the freestyling era of skateboarding. Due to the difficulty of this trick, a similar looking variation has been popularised which is similar to the pop shove-it, in which the board rotates as it would with a pop shove-it only at a higher angle, so the board rotates 180 degrees vertically rather than horizontally, like a pirouette. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Nollie_jump   (6643 words)
