As previously mentioned, the world recognises Skateboarding within its aesthetic identity, impact on music and pop culture as well as the skatevideos pumped out from the industry; but often enough the raw sonic aspect of skateboarding is overshadowed its visual counterparts. With the evolution of skatevideos and filming equipment, the image of skateboarding became more and more of a focal point, with interesting and artistic flairs being represented over the years. Only few times has the actual sonic ecology of skateboarding has been appreciated. Collation of the sounds of skateboarding had also been quite a redundant affair, regarding the lack of realistic foley sample packs on the market, tending rely on foley techniques as opposed to the realistic authentic capturing of skateboarding. To the untrained ear, many skateboard foley packs sound realistic, but to someone who has been ingratiated within the sound of skateboards for years, the depth and motion of a skateboard moving or rolling is often lacking thus replicated by rolling items on wood, as opposed to actually recording the act of skateboarding. Texture plays a part within this, as it is hard to replicate the sonic reaction of the pressure of a skateboarder rolling over surfaces (often uneven, bumpy, etc).  A large reason as to why I created this project is also to create more awareness of the wonderful world of sound within skateboarding, and to try and encourage skaters and non-skaters to appreciate the sounds they may experience throughout their life. To help the identity of the skateboarding community, and represent that the sounds emitted from skateboarding are not mere ‘noise/noisepollution’ but are the symphony of hard work and dedication from a cohort of passionate peers.
