Dogtown

I think it is both because some people enjoy watching skate boarding or surfing. It really depends on who is doing the research. Skaters and surfers are are cultures to be studied.

The people who were interviewed were the zephyrs. They were really good at both skating and surfing. They let people know what it was like and what they did for fun. They even talked about the rules for the areas they were skating. The moved the story along and made it interesting.

They didn't like outsiders. If you were a outsider, you had to find ways for them to let you in to skate of surf. The zephyrs kept to themselves. A lot of them came from broken homes but they came together to form a home they really liked. Their attitudes were really cocky. They were going to do what they wanted to whether a person liked it or not. They even had their own types of skate boards and surf boards.

The pieces started with surfing which is what everyone had started with. Zephyrs had surfed before they could skateboard, but when they did skateboard they added the skills from surfing to it. The organization helps me understand it more because I know how they got the skills to skateboard from.

I've always believed that skaters didn't always welcome those who didn't skate board. You had to show that you can skate with them before they'll let you in. They had their own slang for everything that they only know. I think those thoughts still stay with me when it comes to now a days. Skaters pretty much stay with skaters and they don't really hang out with other because they are still looked down upon.

I trust the director, even if he was one of them. They were bringing a culture to a light and letting people know what they were about and how they acted and why.
