Sexual in skateboarding

Today, skateboarding may not be seen in that way so much. Skateboarding consider female as joke or object. In skateboarding community, people like to play a dirty joke on female and female is seen as an object to be making fun of. According to that, it make outsider see skateboarding community in a bad way such as skater like to see female as a sexual object and think that skateboarders are violence and use it to women because of that graphic on skateboard deck that mostly be hardcore artwork or sexual relate picture.

Violence against women (VAW), also known as gender-based violence, is, collectively, violent acts that are primarily or exclusively committed against women. Sometimes considered a hate crime, this type of violence targets a specific group with the victim's gender as a primary motive. This type of violence is gender-based, meaning that the acts of violence are committed against women expressly because they are women. The UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women states that:

"violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women" and that "violence against women is one of the crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into a subordinate position compared with men."

Violence against women can fit into several broad categories. These include violence carried out by "individuals" as well as "states". Some of the forms of violence perpetrated by individuals are rape; domestic violence; sexual harassment; coercive use of contraceptives; female infanticide; prenatal sex selection; obstetric violence and mob violence; as well as harmful customary or traditional practices such as honor killings, dowry violence, and female genital mutilation, marriage by abduction and forced marriage. Some forms of violence are perpetrated or condoned by the state such as war rape; sexual violence and sexual slavery during conflict; forced sterilization; forced abortion; violence by the police and authoritative personnel; stoning and flogging. Many forms of VAW, such as trafficking in women and forced prostitution are often perpetrated by organized criminal networks.

 There is an example case of skateboarding on women. A 15-year-old skateboarding star with a cult following on social media used his celebrity status to sexually exploit a 12-year-old girl, promising her meet-and-greets with A-listers and a part in a non-existent MTV special, cops said. Steven Fernandez, the YouTube skateboarder nicknamed “Baby Scumbag,” was arrested for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, Los Angeles police announced Thursday. Fernandez’s manager, 22-year-old Jose Barajas, and another professional skater, 27-year-old Keelan Lamar Dadd, were arrested on the same charges. “Fernandez and his buddies used his fame and brand to sexually exploit the very girls who made them rich and famous,” Ninette Toosbuy of LAPD’s West Valley Detective Division told CBS Los Angeles. Police said the trio picked up their 12-year-old victim on Nov. 13 while they were driving in Encino, Calif. Barajas was behind the steering wheel. The sweet-talking Fernandez allegedly promised to introduce the girl to celebrities and offered her a role in an upcoming MTV show — but only if she performed sex acts on him, Dadd and Barajas. The girl agreed, and performed the sex acts, TMZ reported.

 After the attack, they kept driving, searching for more victims.“The suspects tended to cruise the West San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, and Compton, looking for young girls to solicit,” Toosbuy told KTLA. Cops nabbed Fernandez and Barajas during a sting operation four days later. Cops pretended to be the victim and invited the two to an abandoned house for sex, where they were arrested. Dadd turned himself in on Dec. 3. Barajas and Dadd were released after they posted bail, while Fernandez was released to his mom’s custody. The teen was ordered to wear an ankle tracker.

 Eventhough, there are female professional skateboarder. When the company wants to promote her, the company do it in the sexual appeal way such as Leticia Bufoni.

Many teenager see skateboarding as a cool life style. According to that, it makes the young adult want to be like their idol skateboarder. Unfortunately, some professional skateboarders are violent, badass looking, careless, and like to pay dirty joke on women or seeing women as a sexual object. Most people will consider skateboarding as a fashion life style or toy for kids. We can see that on skateboard deck that usually have a sexual appeal for graphic. Skateboard graphic like to put a female picture on it in a sexual way. I think that one of the reasons that the skateboarding company made these graphic is the character of the professional skateboarder on their team. Many iconic professional skateboarders have careless badass look. In skateboarding, the professional skateboarder will have their name on their pro-board. The broad is what represent that skateboarder. Some kid buy the board because it has his favorite skateboarder name on it which later that kid would imitate their idol and become violence and see female object.

Parody in film industry

Parody in film industry As we know majority of people are interested in comedy movie more than any other intense ones. One common reason that make they like comedy because movie time should be the time for them relax not to be serious. A parody film is a subgenre of the comedy film that parodies other film genres or films as pastiches. Works created by imitation of the style of many different films reassembled together. Although the subgenre is often overlooked by critics, parody films are commonly profitable at the box office. Mockbusters are another type of genre for parody films and the mixing of sci-fi, horror, war, thriller films also known as black comedy film. It is known as a sketch comedy film or a crossover humor film. This kind of genre did exist for many thousand years ago. There were lots of comedy movie for example, The Little Train Robbery (1905), Help! Help! (1912), The Mystery of the Leaping Fish (1916), Teddy at the Throttle (1917), etc. Anyway, in this week I would like to talk about the most popular comedy movie that all Thais must know, called, “Sab Sa Nit Sit Sai Nar (แสบสนิทศิษย์ส่ายหน้า)” It is the comedy movie in 2006. It is one of comedy movie that I really like when I was young but about week ago my friend was talking about the joke from this movie, that is why I watch it again tonight. The joke which used to be so funny just not making me laugh anymore. I just trying to say that nothing will stay forever, things can change all the time. Same as the joke from the movie. In some era, the joke could be so funny for people in that time but when time passing it just not funny anymore. This is the Thai movie which contains the famous main character of Dan Vorawetch, he is the charming guy who had the main character of Sanit, who is the main actor of this movie. This movie is based on the story of a guy who open the noodle restaurant, but his dream is to do boxing well. To complete this dream, he had his guys to support his dream includes Suay, his girlfriend, Sanor, Sin, Sib, Sab, Song. These guys are very close friend of Sanit but when they realize that Sanit cannot do boxing well, they just brought Sanit to see the tattoo which has magic in itself. During his journey Sanit got a lot of life experience that made him beat up his barrier and getting stronger than he did. Parody movie can make people laughing but it has to be the proper joke for that era. it is a pop culture that will be stay for some part of time and it will go out of time. So, to produce a comedy movie for nowadays the joke has to be related to today people’s lifestyle by using sound effect and the character to make that scenes funny. As people in the different era are different they are having the different attitude of things which depends on the situation in that time.

5 things you should never say to skaters and 5 types of skater you will meet in college

 5 things you should never say to skaters

1. “You’re gonna break your neck!” or some variation.

You know what? I was planning on waking up today, grabbing a coffee, taking a shit and going out and breaking my neck. What have you contributed to this world by making that statement? Are you generally concerned for my safety? Does acting “responsibly” personally gratify you? Almost 100% of the time I have no idea who these people are at all to begin with. If you really care about me, buy me dinner or pay my mortgage.

2. “I used to skate.”

Oh you used to skate? We must have so much in common! I hardly like 80% of people that STILL skate, so it’s going to be a long shot if I give two shits about you. I understand that some people “grow up” and have families, lose interest, get injured, but If you’re over 35 and don’t have an awesome story about a legendary bowl, party, or skateboarder for that matter, spare yourself the embarrassment and keep your mouth shut. No one cares. If you’re under 35 and you’re wearing flip-flops, cargo shorts and mall-grabbing a Sector 9 don’t even speak to me.

3. “How do you do that?”

First of all are you kidding me? Do I look like I have time to teach someone who has no interest in skateboarding how to do a skateboard trick? Ask yourself these questions first:

Do you really want to understand the physics behind these sweet moves?

Are you generally interested in this or just trying to build a bond with your inner wild-man by living vicariously through me.

Most importantly, why do you even care? I don’t walk into your shitty office and ask you how to crunch numbers, say cool and walk away, so leave me alone.

4. “Can I see your board?”

Sure drunk dude outside of the bar at 2 a.m., you can see my board! This one’s a double-edged sword. I often let these people “see my board” and watch them do the pop-shuvit reverse body varial that everyone seems to go for immediately, or the really low crouch, touch hands on the ground to one-inch ollie. These moves often make it worthwhile. But if the subject in question is determined to land his trick, has his bros around or has consumed more than 4 drinks, it could take some time and your board and schedule could suffer the consequences.

5. “Do you know (insert famous professional here)”

Chances are that I may. We may have crossed paths while they were coming through Raleigh. I may have taken them to the biggest handrail in town, or the most elusive ledge spot. Are we friends? Probably not. So even if I’ve met said pro, it’s probably all the same that I didn’t because we’re not poking each other on Facebook. So hold your questions. Just because you play golf on the weekends I don’t assume you eat naan with VJ Singh.

  5 types of skater you will meet in college

1. The Jockboarder: Somewhere along the line, when skateboarding reached the X-Games and longboarding rose to popularity, jocks realized they wanted a piece of the action. They wanted to look edgy and cool but they were gonna do it their way. Their way, meaning sandals, boardshorts, a college sweatshirt and the biggest most horrendous longboard they could possibly buy at Zumiez.

2. The I Used To Skate Bro: These guys come in all shapes and sizes, but their primary goal is always the same: To tell you how much they totally used to skate. It’s always this long lost hazy memory like, “damn dude, yeah when I skated, I was so hyped on Chad Maska or whatever his name was, you know the white dude with the noseslides?!” Just in case that wasn’t annoying enough, don’t be surprised when they follow up with the inevitable, “yo lemmie try your board real quick,” to see if they “still got it.”

3. The Stoner: These guys usually ride a cruiser, longboard, or some old raggity water logged piece of shit because they were too busy spending their parent’s money on more weed. The smarter ones try to avoid any confrontation with actual skaters, or are too busy riding around campus to the next “chill sesh” blasting Phish or whatever jam bands these people listen to now a days.

4. The One Girl Skater: There’s always one of them: The girl that looks like she’s about to eat shit anytime she takes her foot off of the board and tries to push. To a horny young man this might seem like a dream come true, but most of these girls are either trying too hard or lesbians.

5. The Longboarder Who Thinks He’s A Skateboarder: This is the dude who thinks he can totally “get down” on your session . He starts by rolling up, powersliding and doing some wacky shit on all 4’s. Then he has to show you some scar from going 50 miles down the freeway without a helmet, proving how freaking gnar it was. Too bad you can’t do that on your “shortboard” bro.

Movie into culture

Movie into culture If talking about culture from around the world, I would say the dominant word that first hit my mind is differences. Every culture contains the different elements in itself, for instance, perspective of Indian who is not eat beef as the belief that cow is sacred animal, Thais is not use the lower organ of doing thing do cross over someone head, etc. Let’s get into the movie part. Movie is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to the phenomenon. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed rapidly in succession. The process of filmmaking contains both an art and an industry. Films are cultural artifacts created by specific cultures. They reflect those cultures, and, in turn, affect them. Film is considered to be an important art form, a source of popular entertainment, and a powerful medium for educating or indoctrinating citizens. The visual basis of film gives it a universal power of communication. Some films have become popular worldwide attractions by using dubbing or subtitles to translate the dialog into the language of the viewer. Some have criticized the film industry's glorification of violence and its potentially negative treatment of women. There are lots of benefits in the movie process which could pay an important role in cultural part. In this time, I would give an example of the movie called, “Split”. Split is a 2016 American psychological thriller film written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The story based on a man with 23 different personalities who kidnaps three girls. As I say before, it is psychological kind of movie. Psychological is the mind process that cannot be prove that it is really true. According to the man who has 23 different personalities. In some part of the world like East country or West country, this kind of personality might be related to psychological process, on the other hand, in Thailand or some Buddhism country, they might say there are some spirit or invisible thing stay in his body. Buddhist believes that there is always have some invisible everywhere some is good some is not. So, this guy might have the different spirit inside his mind that made him act like a 9 years old kid and sometimes he just acts like he is 35. This is the invisible thing that I am one of Buddhist who chose to think like that. I watch this movie because it contains an interesting story of a guy with the difference characters. While I watch this movie the main character done it so well that I was thinking about the real man who has the 23 personalities but in contrary way I was thinking about what if this man does not have the abnormality mind of psychology process, what if he just has a bad demons inside how things will be done how this man could live his live again. I just curious of what people in other continent across the world would think but I am not ask them yet. Anyway, it is a good movie to watch. You will get not only heartbeat of scary feeling but you will learn how incredible of psychiatrist ability when they done their job with the best afford that they could give to done their job affectively and help cure the broken mind of these human. I am the one who is respect of this kind of career, I think it takes a lot of patience to talk to people find the broken part before they started to help them. And this is another thing od culture that I want to talk about. Psychiatrist is not the person that Thai people want to meet. In Thailand, most of people think that the people to meet the psychiatrist is the person who is already crazy, but it is not for the Western people. Most Western people go to meet the psychiatrist like it is a part of their daily life. They believe that the psychiatrist is the people who is the best listener for their problem even if he/she is not one of their family member but it is the person that they feel comfortable with. They believe in their own psychiatrist that this person will help they find the best way of running from the problem. And I think these Western people are right, I also think that most of Thai people need to see the psychiatrist instead of solve their own problem by killing themselves or do the stupid things. So, this is all for the thing that I would like to talk in the topic of “Movie into culture”

Lord of Dogtown

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmXeGwbGVCE&t=2s

Lords Of Dogtown screenwriter Stacy Peralta has followed a curiously career circular path. He rose to fame as a member of the legendary '70s Zephyr skateboarding team and became a pioneering skateboarding-video director in the '80s before making a big splash with Dogtown And Z-Boys, an adrenaline-charged 2001 documentary about, um, the legendary '70s Zephyr skateboarding team and Stacy Peralta.

Stacy Peralta is an American director and entrepreneur. He was previously a professional skateboarder and surfer with the Zephyr Competition Team, also known as the Z-Boys from Venice, California.

In 2008, Peralta directed a series of television commercials for Burger King in which the Inuit people of Greenland, Transylvanians of Romania and Hmong of Thailand, known as "Whopper virgins" in the ads, were offered their first taste of a fast food hamburger and asked to compare the Whopper to McDonald's Big Mac. Peralta subsequently came under attack for what some deemed exploitation of native peoples.

Peralta's experience as an entrepreneur and skate demo filmmaker was adapted for the video game Tony Hawk's Underground. In 2003 Peralta also did cameo work in the game where he played himself.

It was a good documentary. As I wrote at the time, it answers a question I have long been curious about: How and why was the first skateboarder inspired to go aerial, to break contact with any surface and do acrobatics in mid-air? Consider that the pioneer was doing this for the very first time over a vertical drop of perhaps 15 feet to a concrete surface. It's not the sort of thing you try out of idle curiosity.

Now we have "Lords of Dogtown," a fiction film based on the very same material and indeed written by Peralta. Not only is there no need for this movie, but its weaknesses underline the strength of the doc. How and why Peralta found so much old footage of skateboarding in 1975 is a mystery, but he was able to give us a good sense of those kids at that time. Although Catherine Hardwicke, the director of "Lords of Dogtown," has a good sense for the period and does what she can with her actors, we've seen the originals, and these aren't the originals. Nobody in the fiction film pulls off stunts as spectacular as those we see for real in the documentary.

Catherine Hardwicke emphasize on speed and volume rather than character development, Lords Of Dogtown covers the rise and fall of a team that revolutionized competitive skateboarding with its sneering attitude, technical innovations, and hard-partying charisma.

The story line remains the same. The kids live in what was then one of the remaining beachfront slums, down the coast from the expensive Malibu area. The beach was ruled by surfers, but in the afternoon, when the waves died down, some of the surfers, or their younger brothers, fooled around on skateboards. One day, Skip Engblom, the shop owner, comes up with a key breakthrough, polyurethane wheels: "They grip." With the additional traction, the Z-Boys try skating the sides of the big, open drainage canal that runs through the area. Then comes a brainstorm: Because of a drought, the area's swimming pools were drained. The kids started "borrowing" pools when the owners weren't home, to skate the curved sides.

Emile Hirsch stars as Jay Adams, Tony Alva is played by Victor Rasuk and John Robinson plays Stacy Peralta, who with his long blond hair gets photographed a lot in the emerging skateboarding magazines. They all seem like pale imitations of the originals, as indeed they must be. Heath Ledger plays Skip, their mentor, who sponsors the Zephyr Team, gives them their first priceless T-shirts and eventually, stoned and drunk, ends up making surfboards in somebody else's back room. But he was the catalyst. The film shows where the skater career path is going. Stacy, Jay and tony all have different path after they left Zephyr team.

In the documentary, there was a Z-Girl along with the Z-Boys, but here all we get is Nikki Reed as Kathy, Tony's sister. We also meet Rebecca De Mornay, as Jay's mother who look like all mothers in Southern California films, looks like she oughta be in pictures. Both the surfing and skateboarding sequences are fun to watch, within reason, but after seeing "Dogtown and Z-Boys" and the haunting surfing documentary "Riding Giants" (2004), we know the real thing is more awesome. The best surfing scenes take place when surfers ride waves dangerously close to the Pacific Island Pier and the rocks at its base; when the pier mysteriously burns down that summer, Skip mourns, "They wanted it gone."

Skateboarding is a sport combining grace, courage and skill, and here we see it being born. What we do not quite understand is how long one can be a skateboarder before you feel like you've been there and done that. Stacy Peralta obviously feels great nostalgia for that period in his life, which was the foundation for fame and fortune, but at this point it is either a time for him to move on to films about something else, or deal with the dark aftermath of those golden days. There were a lot of drugs around; although we see Skip here as a survivor, he's more of a victim. And like the earlier movie, this one doesn't really deal with injuries or accidents. In a sport where you can free fall to concrete, were there deaths? Was anyone paralyzed? There's a touching scene here where the kids take a friend in a wheelchair into one of the empty swimming pools and let him ride the sides a little, but he's in the chair because of cancer, not skateboarding. It would be better, if we see some skater injure and can’t walk anymore. Overall, the film is quite successful in the skateboarding community’s perspective. We can say that almost every skater have seen the film and many skateboarder started skate because of the film and look the character in the film as their role model.
