4PLY Magazine: Jordan Taylor

[WarmUpZone]

4Ply Magazine analyzed all 490 clips that comprised all the Quartersnacks Top Ten countdowns of 2020.

If you were curious about what spot got the most clips in the countdown, who ranked towards the top consistently, how many women skaters made it in this year, what percentage of tricks were in slow motion, how many skaters names start with the letter J, or how how many 7 trick lines there were, this truly is a golden age we live in.

I also wrote a little post about it for Quartersnacks:

If you have any questions about the process or want me to dig into the numbers to come up with a specific stat for you (within reason), I have the tools and the dataset to find out. Any other skaters / videos / quantifiable skateboarding phenomena you would like to see statistically analyzed, let me know.

In the meanwhile, scorch your retinas on this insane pie chart I made to visualize the breakdown of Obstacles:

According to the Germans it's Malle.

Big up to OP for compiling that data.

I’d be mildly curious to see a breakdown of the % of clips by city/region.  I could be be way of the mark on this one, but I‘d guess at least 40% are from nyc.

This would be awesome. The best I could do this time was to record recognizable spots. We got 7 clips from Milano Centrale, but clips from other parts of Milan or Italy for that matter wouldn't be recognized.

I also tried to mark any NYC clips. I'm sure I missed some, but with what I recognized it was only 11% New York footage, which was surprising. That is still over 50 clips from New York, but I thought it would be at least 25%.

As a data analyst I really enjoyed this. Thanks for putting it together!

I love this kind of thing, and the gif pie chart is a first for me. Nice work.

4Ply Skateboarding Data Analysis magazine recently released an article and interview with Jordan 'Gordo' Taylor. We tracked pants color, striped shirts, rooftop tricks, dumpsters skated, and more. Check it out.

We also did a little Rotten Tomatoes thing with his skits a couple months ago:

I figured I would just update one of the old 4Ply threads with this instead of making a new one, ala Heckride. Either way, we hope you enjoy it.

I really love this series! Read the interview the other day, it’s a great and refreshing approach. Keep em coming!
