這篇論文對台北中山堂廣場（Zhongshan Hall Plaza, 簡稱 ZSHP）的滑板族群進行感官民族誌研究。透過探討滑板者的具身經驗如何展現，以及他們如何與空間互動，本文主張：在 ZSHP，滑板活動成為一種身體知識的自然交流——滑板者會語言化本體感，並表達來自身體、滑板及滑行障礙物的感官感受。這些互動構成一種共享的身體遊戲，明確地滋養了「家一般的感覺」（homeness）與社群歸屬感。值得注意的是，這些情感被發現是滑板者對 ZSHP 的主要依附原因，而非正式的滑板場地。
然而，這種對空間的再挪用與台北市政府對公共空間使用的預期產生衝突，儘管滑板者僅希望能自在存在而不受干擾。間歇性的驅趕與衝突，使本文將 ZSHP 滑板活動定位為物質與象徵意義上的「灰色地帶」：它重新詮釋了城市基礎設施，卻又處於法律與社會接受度的邊緣。
本研究運用具身理論來分析這些現象，並透過「身體優先」的視角理解台北滑板文化，而非套用既有的次文化理論框架。更廣義而言，本文作為滑板研究中愈發強調「在地性」的研究之一，展示了如何從具身視角，更聚焦地解釋滑板活動的意義。
儘管滑板經常被聯想為反叛的象徵，本文卻揭示了 ZSHP 所營造出的氛圍是溫馨且具教育意義的，凸顯滑板價值不僅止於反抗，更捕捉了台北滑板者的主體性及他們在城市空間中具身經驗所構成的獨特認同。

This paper conducts a sensory ethnography of skateboarders in Zhongshan Hall Plaza, Taipei (ZSHP). Investigating how embodied experiences manifest and how skateboarders interact with space, this paper argues how in ZSHP, skateboarding becomes an organic exchange of bodily knowledge—one where skateboarders verbalize proprioception and articulate the felt sensations of their bodies, skateboards, and skate obstacles. These interactions are found to be a shared, physical play that distinctly fosters feelings of homeness and community. Notably, these are found to be the primary reasons for the attachment to ZSHP and not a formal skate park. This paper finds, however, that the entailed reappropiation of space clashes with Taipei authorities’ expectations of public space usage, despite the skateboarders simple desire to exist without interference. Intermittent policing and confrontations lead this paper to position ZSHP skateboarding as materially and symbolically grey, as it reinterprets urban infrastructure but rests on the fringes of legality and social acceptance. These findings are accessed through embodiment theory, and the paper uses its body-first focus to understand Taipei’s skateboarding scene without applying pre-existing subcultural generalizations. In the wider scheme, this paper contributes to the increasing body of situated studies within skate literature, exemplifying how the activity can be interpreted with a more focused scope through an embodied lens. While skateboarding is typically linked with rebellion, this paper demonstrates ZSHP’s atmosphere to be domestic and educational, proving skateboarding’s value beyond overt resistance; it captures the subjectivities of Taipei skateboarders and their physical experiences that characterize their unique identity within urban contexts.
