This research is an ethnographic study of the Broad St. Bullies, utilizing participant observations and in-depth interviews to develop an understanding of how the group impacts its participants and builds solidarity and cohesion through the processes inherent to ride-outs. Key to this study is the understanding that Broad St. Bullies ride-outs are a form of carnival, in that they transgress social norms, dissolve social boundaries, provide a space for self-expression and creativity, and generate an atmosphere of excitement and unity.
