I try not to hype up my own shit on here, but I put a lot of work into this stuff, and I think it's something a lot of you may find interesting.

You are an excellent human being.  I look forward to giving your analysis a good long look.

[dylan makes me wet]

that was fucking awesome

[mandibleclaw]

a great read.  i was a bit surprised; i thought that there would be much more rail and gap skating in the 2000s as compared to now, but there difference wasn't as much as i thought.

Good work but your sample size is not even remotely big enough to have an accurate analysis.

but I put a lot of work into this stuff

Really? You went through 6 magazines and that's a lot of work? Not to mention that you tried "to examine how skateboarding has changed in many ways over the last decade" by taking 6 months out only two years of the decade you're supposedly analyzing. 9 1/2 years is long ass gap when researching 10 year trends.

Yeah I totally thought that too. Or more so I thought that there would be a lower percentage now. Also I expected there to be way less park/transition skating in 2000 since pools and all that are much more popular now. However, apparently in 2000 vert was still getting quite a bit of coverage. Go figure.

You're absoloutely right. It would have been much more interesting if I had made a tally from every year between 2000-2010, and could have showed a decade progression and the ups and downs of different trends. But honestly the amount of work that would have been really wouldn't have been worth it.

Ahahah well the criticism is fine, I expect no less. But if you were to do the same you would realize how much work it was. To go through over 1200 pages of material and categorize not only every page, but every photo on every page in to 5 different categories, and then figuring out the numbers and how to compare them, and to do all the graphs and everything. Yes, it was a lot of work.

But like I said, it would have been good to do a whole decade but fuck over 6000 pages of tallying.
