Title: Skateboarding in the news thread

Instead of starting threads for stuff like this, you can just throw it here, like this New York Times Day in the Life of Alexis Sablone article.

This thread made me think about something: I noticed recently that skateboarding is used in marketing to symbolise being young, cool etc. For example there are skateboarders on Evian bottles, a young mum skates and gets hurt in an ad for sticking plaster, I saw skaters in an ad for a bank, even a law firm lately, and the Swiss government used a skater in the vaccine campaign.

Is this a new thing or was it always there? It feels like the system appropriates skate culture for its purpose, but I bet if you‘d skate in the parking lot of that bank it would be a bust.

I think you should take this as an invitation, and when they kick you out, just remind them you’re simply collecting on what’s due/owed.
“They owe. Oh,  they owe!”

What's interesting is that most people don't even think skating is cool. It's like the people in charge of marketing for these agencies are trying to tap into something that is going to make them appear to be "hip" or "cool". Talk to any mid twenties person... 95% of them think skating is for kooks and prepubescent kids. The majority of the population view skaters like how skaters view scooter kids, they don't differentiate between the two.

I can imagine that they would feel like this watching me eat shit trying to kickflip up a curb at the bus stop.

By the way @Lou Strux I skated the bank parking lot. No bust, and they have a nice low flatbar too.

No. Skating is a lot more accepted and liked compared to 20 - 30 years ago. Parks are getting built and it's being included in the Olympics and advertising because more people like it, not less.

Sure skating is more in the public eye than it was 20-30 years ago... but if you think it's more acceptable, your fooling yourself. The majority of society thinks skaters are goofy, they rather obsess over a Kardashian. The only reason it gets put in commercials and advertising is because someone on the PR team used to skate 20-30 years ago and they still have a soft spot in their heart for it. City's build parks for the same reason, someone on the committee used to skate and the constituents want the skaters to stop grinding the curbs and rails out front of their business. The Olympics used skateboarding for publicity... to create a buzz, there's been talk of putting skateboarding in the Olympics for 30 years, now when the ratings suck, they announce skateboarding as an event.

No. You’re wrong. Skateboarding is definitely more acceptable than it was 20 years ago, and infinitely more acceptable than it was 30 years ago. They didn’t just decide to put skateboarding in the Olympics over night. That was years of hard work by the organizations that got it there. Wasn’t Nyjah on GQ recently? Many people that skated as kids or had friends that did are now a good chunk of the adult/parent age group and have a far more open mind to activities like skateboarding than a lot of our Boomer parents did. I mean the amount of skateparks speak for themselves. I promise, the huge number of skateparks popping up is not the result of one old skater in every city and fed-up citizens. You must have a very cynical worldview if that is your gut instinct, rather than a growing acceptance of skateboarding as a whole.

I feel like nowadays skateboarding attracts some different people as like 15 years ago. I can't count the times some jock saw me skating and asked to try my board. Probably thinking, "if that fat nerd can do that, I can do that too".

Me, the fat nerd spent a lot of time to learn kickflips and the jock realizes, that shit is actually difficult and continues to play with some kind of ball or tune his car. (You can insert here a paragraph about our society, which doesn't want to put in work and want fast success and attention, but that's just me yelling at clouds, and I don't feel that old yet with 30.)

I also heard a few woman (30+ years old) telling me, they prefer skating men over other men. I mean, there are men which just walk around with their homies, acting hard, listen to weird music, go to shopping malls and play Fifa. And that's it, that's their life.

And no, we as skaters are not better people because we play with that "cool" toy, but I think we are at least a bit more interesting.

TLDR Some people maybe think skateboarding is interesting.

A little field experiment: Over the last two weeks I spent 6 days at the bus stop trying the same line for hundreds of times. People came and went all the time.  99% did not interact with me. Passed by or watched me bemusedly. Then there were a few people who interacted with me:


So most people are indifferent. Of course I cannot read their mind, they might well have thought that I am a kook. The age segments most genuinely interested are young kids and elderly people.

Thanks for reading.

I politely complied to an interview while at a skatepark by a local paper, just generic questions like "So what do ya think of it?"

He took some photos of me skating the flat bar and I was landing stuff pretty consistently, with a couple of bails. Afterwards I joked with the girl I was seeing at the time about how it's gonna be those typical too-early-mid-pop photos or just a really bad angle on a crooked grind.

Nope it was way worse: wide shot of bailing with arms flailing while running out the momentum, juxtaposed with a bored child on a scooter right next to me.

The caption was "HyenaChaser tests out the rail!"

Great.
