This study aimed to analyze part of the processes of production of skateboarder’s subjectivities in their relations with certain social rules that are in place in contemporaneity, specifically through a wish for inclusion by individuals and social groups positioned as abnormal. Social cartography was used as a theoretical-methodological framework and the empirical material included radio and TV interviews, informal conversations, posters of events, pictures taken from social media sites open to the public and street diary notes. We analyzed vectors of normalization related to skateboarders by connecting them with certain social norms through actions and speeches morally recognized as being “for the good”, in order to ascribe traits of legitimacy and normalcy that are strategic to the permanent game of power relations and conduction of oneself.
