Trailing skaters into the accidental glitches of Asian cities
With urban development in Asia, cities in the region have become central to skateboarding culture for their endless supply of accidental, attractive ‘spots’ for skateboarding – glitches in the urban machine. In Skateboarding and Urban Landscapes in Asia: Endless Spots (Amsterdam University Press), Duncan McDuie-Ra explores the desire for and consumption of urban Asia. Mark Brooke is quite taken by the author’s rolling ethnography and skateboard cartography, and very appreciative of the list of skate videos in the book.
