Dicky Beach: A Case Study
SKATEBIZ CEO Jimmy Roberts has turned the tables today and finalised the location for their ‘electrifying’ skate competition at Dicky Beach Skate Park, Sunshine Coast. Hundreds of rowdy teenagers are expected to compete and thousands more as spectators this weekend. These rowdy teenagers WILL create a ruckus for locals and visitors.

Further problems will result in the damage to the local environment. As the crowds of spectators descend on Dicky Beach, excessive transport, pollution and vandalism will be exposed to the landscape. Therefore, should not be hosted in this area.

Local Dicky Beach resident, Mrs. Marther Birch has been a resident of Dicky Beach for over 65 years. We asked for her opinion on the SKATEBIZ skate competition in her local park. She said; “The beach is lovely, but the skate park is a popular hangout for teenagers who binge drink at night time. Those disrespectful ratbags carry on and make a ruckus until all hours. Worst of all, they make a mess by leaving their rubbish behind and graffiti on the walls.” …show more content…
Marther Birch,
Dicky Beach surf club member, Tony Mancross delivered a blistering rebuke towards SKATEBIZ’s “quick money making scam.” Furthermore, he explained how, “There’s barely even enough parking for our surf club members, let alone thousands of festival goers.” And, “The Skate Park has already been close this year due to vandalism, so why reward them?” Tony, has been one of the most pessimistic towards SKATEBIZ’s ‘electrifying annual skate

    Sunny Abberton's Personal Documentary 'Bra Boys' By Russell Crowe

    Sunny Abberton's highly personal documentary, narrated by Russell Crowe, examines Australian surf culture – a far cry from the endless summer stereotype image of laid-back guys blessed out on being one with the waves -- through the story of his own family. What it lacks in objectivity, it makes up for in vivid intimacy.…

    Bra Boys - a Documentary Case Study

    Images are a complex communication tool – the intention of the creator and the interpretation of the viewer may not be harmonizing. While Bra Boys seeks to criticise their infamous reputation as an anti-social and law-breaking gang, the construction of the documentary has reinforced that dominant representation of the surf group. Sunny Abberton’s documentary of dissent, Bra Boys (2007) is constructed to critique the dominant representation of the notorious societal group – “Bra Boys” by telling the story from the point of view directly from the underbelly of Maroubra itself. The documentary attempts to utilise viewing conventions of selection of detail, symbolism and audio codes to portray “Bra Boys” as a constructive support framework of surfers but with deeper analysis, there is evidence that those codes effectively does both- reinforces and critiques the dominant representation of the surf gang. This is most evident in the retelling of the brawl between the “Bra Boys” and the police force.…

    The Bra Boys highlights a continual conflict with the law and attitude towards authority. With a reputation of being territorial, the group is known to have taken control of a Sydney reef break, known as 'Cape Solander', and renaming the break 'Ours'. In late 2002, around 160 members of the gang attending a birthday party at the Coogee-Randwick RSL Club were involved in a brawl with off-duty police officers, 30 police officers left injured after the event. In August 2005, the Bra Boys led a 100-person non-violent protest against plans by Randwick Council to introduce parking meters near the local beaches. These examples show that the Bra Boys are very passionate about their community they live in and think they should have a say in how things are run. This could be a very negative effect on some members as they could get prosecuted by the authorities for their behaviour it could also be another way to have your voice heard.…

    Bruce Dawe

    In Enter without so much as knocking Bruce Dawe comments on the materialistic character of Australian society in the 1950’s. During this period of his life Dawe saw the influences of the Americanized way of life, and he didn’t like what he was seeing. As television became widespread, he watched as the world was dominated and manipulated by commercialism and manmade objects. Society found value in a materialistic lifestyle, and pushed spirituality and humanity to the side. He saw that from the moment we opened our eyes we must conform and be silent about it. Only through the innocence and purity of a child and our natural world can we truly escape this. The skateboard is a symbol of this innocence and purity. It depicts the life of my younger brother Isaac. It is a part of who he is and what he does.…

    Rave Review

    The night was perfect and the crowd was friendly with a diverse group of all ages old and young. Crowds of people filled the parking lot with sounds of Kid Rock blasting through car speakers and people enjoying their pre-show cocktails. Outside the venue Kid's cars were roped off for fans to check out and take photos. Entering DTE you could smell the aroma of Clarkston's own Union Station Restaurants famous mac and cheese and the Woodshop Resaurants barbeque. As we made our way toward the concert area the local Shriner's were selling Kid Rock/Shriners t-shirts with the proceeds going the organization. I really thought it was great that Kid was utilizing local buisness owners and charities during these hometown shows as well as the low dough show he was offering!…

    Skateboarding Is an Art

    People who don’t skateboard have no idea what I’m about to describe, but if you have a passion for skateboarding like I you will totally understand. Skateboarding is not a sport; we don’t have any couches telling us what we can and can’t do. We can literally do whatever we want on a skateboard, it is complete creativity and freedom. Skateboarding is an Art, a Lifestyle, a way to live. So pretty much we are artists selecting what spots we want to share our art on. Just like art there are unlimited amount of styles people can come up with. Vincent Van Gogh, Jackson Pollock, Faust all are artists who create art and showcase them in many different ways. Van Gogh used a Style of paint, Pollock used a Style of Splatter, and Faust used a Style of calligraffiti. Even though all of these people are artists that have the same intentions, they all have a completely authentic style as to what they do and create. People think skateboarders just destroy property and disrespect security guards/police but they are not thinking outside the box and looking at the world like we do. Skateboarders have a different eye for everything they see in this world. For example you might see a pole sticking out of the ground that looks extremely dangerous. But we skaters would call that a pole jam, and our minds would open up and think about all the possibility’s and tricks that can be done on this obscure object. Just like Art, Skateboarding takes time and patience. You can’t just wake up one day and be like “Hey I’m going to land a 900 on a Vert Ramp today” but hey you never know. But most likely you won’t be able to stomp that out in a couple of tries. But in Reality learning to spin a 900 would take years to practice. Tony Hawk was the 1st person to ever land it, and it took him years to completely master. Skateboarding is all about building your craft and then…

    Skateboarder's Influence On Life

    Everyone has had something that has influenced their life and shaped them into the person that they are today. Whether it is a relative, tragic accident, or a sport, it causes you to act and think the way you do. For me, skateboarding changes the way I look at everything. Ever since I was six years old and I unwrapped my first skateboard form under the Christmas tree, I have never looked at anything the same. It all started when I stepped from my living room into the garage, which I used to jump onto the board. From that point, I looked at everything and analyzed it for a way to skate on it. Where most people see a dirty rust pipe or rail, skaters see a new spot to film some tricks. I have met some of the most influential and creative people…
