How To Add New Data

The shittiest part about this is creating the data. But it's really not that bad. Here's how:

We want a dataset with the following schema:

Column Description Data Type
clip_index The number of the video clip in which the clip occurred. For example, if the third clip of a video part is a line, each clip in the line should have a clip_index of 3. text
trick_index The trick number, i.e. the ith trick in the video should have a trick_index of i. Each trick_index should be unique and consecutive, unless the trick is shown multiple times (e.g. double-angle or slow motion). text
trick Name of the trick. Try to use 'fs' and 'bs', and separate tricks in manuals with 'to'. text
switch Boolean indicating whether or not the trick was switch. 1 if yes, else leave blank. number
line Boolean indicating whether or not the trick was done in a line. 1 if yes, else leave blank. number
slowmo Boolean indicating whether or not the trick was filmed in slow motion. 1 if yes, else leave blank. number
obstacle Not-very-detailed description of obstacle. Should be rail, ledge, manual, gap, stair, flat, hip. (Use obstacle_detailed column to add more description). text
obstacle_detailed A slightly more detailed description of the obstacle. Try to use what's been used before (e.g. for rail use handrail or shootout or flatbar, or for ledge, use hubba, etc.). text
location Location of trick, if it's notable. Otherwise leave blank (don't worry too much about this). text
video Name of video. text

That is, for a given video part, add a row to the dataset above for each trick.

If you think of something interesting, feel free to add it as a column. For example, I noticed that Greco skates a ton of banks/slopes/etc., so I added a column called has_bank to his dataset.

Example

For Koston's part in the 101 promo, I created this dataset.

For all of Greco's parts, I created this dataset.

Adding the New Data

Once you're done, save the data as a csv or xlsx document.

Then:

You Know Git: Fork the repo, add data, and make a pull-request.

You Don't Know git: Email me the data/description! jdwlbr at gmail
