Ahorn The leisure and sports equipment for which this is about, usually consists of seven thin layers of firmly glued maple plywood.Unlike his otherwise Gadget-affine fan base, there has been no "innovation" here for a long time.On the contrary, experiments with fiberglass and various composites were largely demolished at the end of the 1970s.This maple-purismus causes skateboard label to obtain their blanks from a few big "woodshops" and differ hardly in material, but above all aesthetically, namely in ➝ graphics and branding.When cutting the boards, there are two basic forms: Whoever "popsicles" (bug and rear almost identical, especially side edges) from "Shapeds" (bug mostly Spitzer as a rear, slightly curved side edge) can distinguish them, can score in any subject discussions with the offspring- Of course, it is important to ensure that the ➝ jargon does not refer to the board itself as a "board", but as a "deck", which bug refers to the "nose" and the rear as "tail".

You stand alone on the board, but skateboarding is not a "individual sport".The "flow", the indescribable feeling of tunnel, which still makes adults, to work on a curb for hours, only arises between several people.Those you can expect at a skate place are called "crew".The “team” is something else: In skateboarding, you may not represent the “1.Berlin skateboarding club e.V.“, Although the same - Hello Germany!- of course exists.But one is appointed by ➝ brands in factory teams. „Auf Nike SB“ oder „aufVans“ zu sein, entspricht dabei, für den FC Bayern zu spielen.Teamrider, for example from "Radio" or "Koloss".Pauli.For various historical reasons, some of which also have to do with a simple ➝ coincidence, crews and teams came as almost pure boy groups for a long time.But that was by no means always like that - and recently changes pleasantly.

Graphics The graphics of the boards show the history of skateboarding: by around 1975 the skateboarding, which was created around 1960, has little to do with what you think about today.It is a new sport with the royal discipline Slalom.So the simple graphics also resemble those of skis.From 1975, skateboarding in the walls of the mythical California swimming pools reinvested-and the decks mutate into subculture topics, based on the skull style of Metal and Hardcore.Around 1990, driving then moved from the steep walls on streets and squares, now hip-hop ➝ soundtrack and motifs.And after 2000, when new competitive formats of skateboarding are created, tendencies result in a sports equipment look-culminating in those national graphics that can now be seen in Tokyo.

Jargon DerVersuch, in einer wie auch immer gearteten Spezialsprache zu kommunizieren, ist mit dreierlei Schwierigkeiten behaftet.First, it is about knowledge questions, secondly about how to say something - and thirdly also about speech positions.As far as the first is concerned, the knowledge of basic driving techniques is an introduction: a “slide” is when the belly, the nose or the tail of the board slips along an obstacle.If the "grind" is called on one or two axes on an edge - and a "air" is a jump from a slope or round.When it comes to expression, it should be noted that skateboard-related media products are not "published", but "dropped"-which also applies to curves and slopes of all kinds that are not "driven down".The problem of speech positions can also be illustrated very nicely on the jargon in question: "Roller Board" can only say who can drive skateboard, and quite well.It is forbidden for others - even if a profession is used to use the word, which is not uncommon.
M
Brands do you know which shoe sponsor Malaika Mihambo has, the most successful German athlete?Even with above -average sports interest, you can hardly see Mihambo's jumping the brand of shoes.It is very different in top cateboarding.J recently wrote J.Namdev Hardisty in his book New Skateboard Graphics that a professional like Chris Cole could hardly switch from the "Zero" label to "Chocolate", because he had to drive very differently than before.So their sponsors can be seen from the driving style of the professionals.This enormous “brand depth” has one reason that the skateboard labels put together those ➝ Boygroups based on a highly specific idea of driving, which is their actual product. Und der Job dieser Teams besteht schon seit der Durchsetzung desVideorekorders in den frühen 1980er Jahren darin, ebendiese Ideen tendenziell auch auf die Kundschaft zu übertragen: In den allgegenwärtigen Skateboardvideos wird der Fahrstil der Teams mit passender Bildsprache zu einem Werbe-Manifest verdichtet – das im unorganisierten Skateboarding aber zugleich als Lehrfilm dient.No wonder that skateboarding is a kind of fetish for many youth marketing people.

Olympia When the IOC 2016 announced the inclusion of skateboarding, the scene found the satisfaction to abrap - and the rest of the world somehow sensational.Olympic skateboarding is a decent..The trail does not end in Atlanta in 1996 when a shovel on a half pipe was part of the final ceremony.Already in the mid-1970s, the American press had speculated about skateboard slalom at the Olympics-and in the zero number of the early journal Skateboarder, Olympia was already mentioned in 1964.The fact that nothing came of it for a long time was not only because skateboards are stubbornly associated with grass smoking or punk music.The unregulated practices almost rejected their "disciplines" every ten years and invented new ones.But skateboarding has been an Olympic for over 20 years: The half pipes on which Snowboard and short ski medals have been awarded since the winter games of 1998 in 1998 have been created in skateboarding-like the furniture of the "Slopestyle" winter disciplinesgoes back to skateboarding. Nachdem also schon bisher vier Skateboard-Derivate olympisch waren und in Tokio mit ➝ Wellenreiten und „BMX Park“ zwei weitereVerwandte hinzukamen, war es Zeit für das Original.

Pop The ubiquitous speech of "popping" has no sexual connotation in skateboarding.It is about a sound painting of the basic maneuver "Ollie" - of jumping from the horizontal by explosive kicking the rear.So if you "have pop" or "pop fat", you only master this technique well. Pop ist aber auch ein Schlüssel zumVerständnis von Skateboarding und seiner Kultur.In the six decades of its history, the roller board moves in a intersection between sport and pop culture, sometimes more of one and sometimes the other. All die spektakulären Manöver, die jetzt bei Olympia zu sehen sind, wurden ohne Trainingswissenschaft und Sportverbände erfunden: durchVersuch und Fehlschlag, das Beobachten anderer – und das Enactment jener Sport- und Musik-Clips, mit denen die ➝ Marken reüssieren.Viele Profis zeigen sich fast nur inVideos.In the future, the organized competition will not be the only way to fame and career.The sports officials, who may now believe that skateboarding will also be about training groups and qualifiers, will have to learn.

Soundtrack which sound Jagger Eaton prefers is not easily known.When the American bronze winner in the Olympic “Street” contest lists music, however, showed his final run: pretty much always.When he struggled after a fall, he first checked the seat of his headphones.The vast majority of the starters wore plugs in the ear during their runs and the smartphone in their pants.What the sports commentary amused is extremely consistent with the history of skateboarding: the active people have not only liked to listen to music, but the music is lifted in driving experience, so to speak, so to speak.Quite a few skateboard front figures entertain musical second career.It is not for nothing that the second Olympic discipline "Park", next to the "Street", are in the pool and half pip.. Und unübersehbar geht, als ab 1990 auf den Straßen das zu entstehen beginnt, was heute als „Street“ firmiert, jener neue Stil der➝ Grafiken nicht nur mit einerVerschiebung des Soundtracks zu Hip-Hop einher, sondern auch mit einer neuen, verspielteren Fahrweise.In this respect, we can now guess what Eaton had in the plugs.

Wave riding who knows nothing about skateboarding, you can say two things: First, it comes from surfing it directly from surfing.Secondly, the Americans could best.Now the second wisdom is being denied by ➝ Olympics: The Skateboard Supermacht is rather Japan than the USA.And that footnotes can be made at the first certainty can already be found in the sense of the word: If you simply think of changing from the surf to the skateboard- or vice versa- you will be disappointed.In fact, the period in which skateboarding surf maneuvers were not more than two or three years in the mid-1970s when the skateboards conquered the swimming pools.Then the mother's daughter grew over his head.Especially the most spectacular surf maneuvers, which were now also admired in Japan - the jumps over the crowns of the waves - were first performed on skateboards.Since the 1980s, the wave riding has been more "skateboarding on the water" than skateboarding a "surfing on land".

Coincidence we often see history from her result, then it seems more sensible.The skateboard story also shows how much subjunctive works: If the California summer had not been so dry around 1975 that many swimming pools remained empty, the big bang of today's skateboarding could not have taken place in them. Und wäre zugleich das US-Versicherungsrecht nicht so restriktiv gewesen, dass bestehende Zweckanlagen ihre Policen verloren und schließen mussten, hätte es Alternativen dazu gegeben, in fremdeVorgärten einzusteigen und den Pool zu verwüsten.But as it came-this is the tenor of skateboard support-a wild fascination, but also for a long time an exclusive guys-like test samples became a wild fascinating..
