We explain nothing. We do nothing. We want to be nothing. We simply are.



The Outlaw Collective is the foundation for two different academics papers. One, The Outlaw Collective: Skateboarding and Societal Interaction, was written in the spring of 2001 as an undergraduate research assignment. It is 25 pages long and deals with skateboarding's implicit and various challenges to the present society and the manner in which it is functioning. The other, The Outlaw Collective: Skateboarding and Rhizomatic Countermapping, was written in the spring of 2004 as a Graduate Seminar final paper. It is also 25 pages long and deals with the rhizomatic manner in which skateboarding maps urbanity and the ways that this type of mapping counters the types of movement that are encouraged by our present culture and capitalist economy. Both of these works have their roots in the ideas that were originally part of The Outlaw Collective. The may expand, mutate, or change some of the ideas and they may not. However, that does not matter because The Outlaw Collective is a malleable entity. It has no core, it has not structure, it has no.....hell, you've already read this shit in the above manifesto.
