Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper traces the mediatization of BMX-freestyle cycling over the past four decades through an examination of the centrality of particular media of communication and particular texts within this sport. It is argued that the history of BMX is inseparable from the history of the activity's mediation. Indeed, the historic rise and fall of the sport with regard to industrial success can be correlated with the appearance and disappearance of disseminating institutions such as particular special-interest magazines. Furthermore, these magazines have been the site of introductions to, and negotiations with, other competing media throughout the history of the activity. In the early twenty-first century, digital media have increasingly challenged the dominance of older media that have served/exploited this sport. It is probable that this particular activity, and the media that serve and exploit it, will continue to have a complex, co-dependent relationship.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
