This book is about skateboard video and experimental ways of
thinking about cities. It makes a provocative argument to consider
skate video as an archive of the city from below. Here 'below' has
a dual meaning. First, below refers to an unofficial archive, a
subaltern history of urban space. Second, below refers to the angle
from which skateboarders and filmers gaze upon, capture, and
consume the city-from the ground up. Since taking to the streets in
the early 1980s, skateboarding has been captured on film, video
tape and digital memory cards, edited into consumable forms and
circulated around the world. Videos are objects amenable to
ethnographic analysis while also archiving exercises in urban
ethnography by their creators. I advocate for taking skate video
seriously as a (fragile) archive of the urban backstage, collective
memory across time and space, creative urban practice, urban
encounters (people-to-people and people-to-object/s), and the
globalization of a subculture at once delinquent and magnificent.
