Girls Skate Brisbane Team: Indi, Evie and Tora
An article on opening gates rather than gate keeping in youth scenes and subcultures – with a special focus on skateboarding. Thank you Sander for your integrity, care for real things and dedication to bridging academia and skateboarding, and Skateism for being the magazine we all needed to read when growing up.
Always stoked by the positive changes in any scene and being able to do sociological research on things that change lives, like skateboarding can. And just a little stoked to probably be the first sociologist to be interviewed in a camo-bucket hat – very Aussie 🙂
Shout out: Skateism, Pushing Boarders and their collaborators, Girls Skate Brisbane, Kane Stewart from The Bay Skate and numerous great individuals, many who are co-researchers and skater friends, and many mentioned in this article:-
Long live bucket hats
