Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper examines the participation of disabled individuals in skateboarding and wheelchair motocross (WCXM). Using qualitative interview data from 30 disabled riders, we investigate their motivations for engaging in these informal action sports and explore their experiences. Framing this work within Critical Disability Studies, we highlight how disabled riders are drawn to the freedom, creativity, and accessibility of skateboarding and WCXM, while also emphasising the impact of intersecting social factors, such as gender and class, on participation. We demonstrate the potential of these unregulated sports and discuss how skateboarding and WCXM can improve lives, expand social networks, and challenge ableism as well as medicalised perceptions of disability.

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.
