Hi, I’m Jamie Terrill, a researcher at Lancaster University, UK (and once a very enthusiastic but awful skater).
I’m currently conducting some research into the visual culture of skateboarding, particularly skate videos and cameras used. I’ve made a short survey that contains a few questions on this topic - it’s entirely anonymous and doesn’t require a login.
My goal is to use this all as a jumping pad for a larger project concerning skateboard visual culture, with skateboarding and its associated cultures being barely touched within existing scholarship.
No this is great, you’d honestly be surprised at what some naive dumbtrepreneurs try and flog to a bunch of ageing cynics like us with too much bitterness and not enough time. Gets some interesting responses. I enjoyed the last question, there’s definitely one constant on that (especially compared to other videos in similar scenes)
