Hey Jlspeakman! It's Threedeezeens from Feminist Art & Subculture reviewing your draft! This is such a great topic to expand on - here are some suggestions to make the process smooth:

'''Info that needs citation:

"Skateboarding was popularized by the 1986 skateboarding cult classic Thrashin'. Directed by David Winters and starring Josh Brolin, it features appearances from many famous skaters such as Tony Alva, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi and Steve Caballero. Thrashin' also had a direct impact on Lords of Dogtown, as Catherine Hardwicke, who directed Lords of Dogtown, was hired by Winters to work on Thrashin' as a production designer where she met, worked with and befriended many famous skaters including the real Tony Alva, Tony Hawk, Christian Hosoi and Steve Caballero."

"Skateboarding was, at first, tied to the culture of surfing. As skateboarding spread across the United States to places unfamiliar with surfing or surfing culture, it developed an image of its own. For example, the classic film short Video Days (1991) portrayed skateboarders as reckless rebels."

"California duo Jan and Dean recorded the song "Sidewalk Surfin'" in 1964, which is the Beach Boys song "Catch a Wave" with new lyrics associated with skateboarding."

"Films such as the 1986 Thrashin', Grind and Lords of Dogtown, have helped improve the reputation of skateboarding youth, depicting individuals of this subculture as having a positive outlook on life, prone to poking harmless fun at each other, and engaging in healthy sportsman's competition. According to the film, lack of respect, egotism and hostility towards fellow skateboarders is generally frowned upon, albeit each of the characters (and as such, proxies of the "stereotypical" skateboarder) have a firm disrespect for authority and for rules in general."

Expanding:

-How did music culture influence the street culture?

-Provide examples of how cities discourage skateboarding (infrastructure, laws, etc.)

-the need for femme-skateboarding crews & the type of gender/race specific energy in mainstream punk/street culture

-add photo of Hudson Valley "skate witches" or New Paltz women's skate group?

-Dissident Femininity (Skater girlhood and emphasized femininity, Kelly, Pomerantz, Currie)

-DIY lifestyle (clothing, teaching/learning, insider language/names)

-how girls of color fit into this dynamic
