Study reveals skateboarders rely on "skatesound" for navigation and socializing, despite its noise.

A new study highlights how skateboarders use "skatesound" to navigate urban surfaces, finding it essential for both verifying maneuvers and social interaction. For skateboarders, aged 19-51 with an average of 12 years of experience, the sound serves as a sensory aid and can be therapeutic, especially for those with conditions like autism or ADHD. While some find the noise unpleasant, many see it as a key part of their experience, discouraging headphone use to maintain the sport's communal aspect.
