Abstract

Skateboarding is an important part of 21st century culture and has considerable cultural, financial and entertainment value, as indicated by its recent incorporation in the Tokyo Olympics. It is practiced on human-made surfaces such as pavements and roads as well as on wooden ramps and within asphalt and concrete skateparks. Hundreds of examples of the latter were built worldwide during the skateboarding’s ‘Second Wave’ in the late 1970s–early 1980s, but nearly all were subsequently closed, infilled or destroyed. Very few original concrete parks of this key period survive and many are currently threatened with destruction. The historic status recently ascribed to two well preserved examples in the UK and Australia underlines a need to assess the heritage value of the other remaining original skateparks, as well as to consider possible strategies for their protection and conservation. The present article tackles this topic using selected examples of these unconventional historic structures from around the world.

固体冲浪

滑板运动是21世纪文化的重要组成部分，具有相当大的文化、经济和娱乐价值，最近被纳入东京奥运会就表明了这一点。它是在人造表面，如人行道和道路，以及木制坡道和沥青和混凝土滑板场内进行的。在20世纪70年代末至80年代初的滑板运动“第二次浪潮”期间，世界各地建造了数百个后者的例子，但几乎所有的例子随后都被关闭，填充或摧毁。这一关键时期的原始混凝土公园很少幸存下来，许多公园目前面临着被破坏的威胁。最近，英国和澳大利亚的两个保存完好的滑板场被赋予了历史地位，这表明有必要评估其他现存的原始滑板场的遗产价值，并考虑可能的保护和保存策略。本文将使用来自世界各地的这些非传统历史建筑的例子来解决这个问题。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. In addition to its focus on archaeology, JCA encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, art history, cultural studies, design studies, heritage studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. Acknowledging the key place which photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, JCA includes a regular photo essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website.
