Killing It in Connecticut

pink hair

sk8terray is killing it in Connecticut – like literally she’s at Owen Bell Skatepark in Killingly, CT.   Introducting rad skater girls and learning geography this blog is social & educational.  Plus this blog is always fashion conscious – I love the pink hair!

Turns out she may be moving to California – where I’m confident she will continue skating and hopeful we’ll meet up.

No matter where you are in the world – keep it stylish on & off the board and take time to compliment your fellow skaters!

Skateboard Clubs

Germany outside museum

_regularity_ and her love are outside the Walhalla Skateboard Club in Braunschweig Germany.

I absolutely want to try what they are doing!  And after checking out Walhalla, I think I’d have plenty of fun in Braunschweig.

Once again skateboarding has shown me there are girls – in this case models – having fun skateboarding and places all around the world where girls can have fun skateboarding.

Where will we find style on & off the board next ???

Skateboarding in the South of Japan

Ali from the south of Japan shared this picture. The kanji that make up Japan’s name mean “sun origin”, and Japan is often called the “Land of the Rising Sun”.

Looks like Japan is also the Land of the Rising Skater Girl!

Finding girls that skateboard for fun & live near me is exciting but I’m amazed when I connect with girls across the globe.   Skateboarding cuts through miles and language – skateboarding is a cultural universal.

More girls do skateboard as they see other girls skateboard – keep sharing, skating, and of course keep it stylish!

When Someone’s Headed on an Adventure

When someone tells you they are headed on an adventure . . .  You have choices like you can ignore them, try to talk them out of it (could be scary), make fun of them (it’s irresponsible), wish them luck, or encourage them to enjoy the journey.

Adventurevision told me she’s starting an adventure – I’m choosing to encourage her.  Encouragement is like gratitude – you think its for someone else but it’s really for both of you.

Encouraging you all to pursue your adventures on & off the board!

When is June 21st a Winter Day?

flo australia

It was a perfect winters day for #goskateboardingday. I gathered my courage and left the ‘burbs for the city sidewalks and squares. Was great to see other skaters out shredding too.  Florence Lang

June 21st is a winter’s day when you’re in Australia.  The winter season in Australia is from June – August.  Once again skateboarding encouraged me to learn something new.

Having an open mind and willingness to learn new things is always stylish.  Till next time keep it rad on & off the board like Florence does in Adelaide, South Australia.

 

Whole New World and She’s Loving It

day 2

Day 2:  she couldn’t wait to get home to ride.  She’s already asked that we build a ramp in the backyard.  – itsmeemilee

When I asked mom if I could share – she said YES and that skateboarding has opened a whole new world for her & she’s loving it!

Skateboarding really has opened so many doors for me – I may never win a competition and that’s ok because skateboarding has taught me self-belief.  I have the courage to try new things – the strength to keep trying – and the maturity to be happy with who I am.

As the shirt says The Struggle is Real –  keep it stylish on & off the board!

 

 

Where in the World is Alice?

Alice is skateboarding in Mei Foo Skatepark, Hong Kong.

She’s skateboarding with her dad and hoping other girls will come.  I’m confident more girls will come because I believe more girls skateboard when they see girls skateboarding and how much fun they are having.

Until they show – Alice keep shredding – stay true to your passions that’s always stylish and makes you a trendsetter.

Can you Find a Skater Girl?

Her bio reads –  Lacy Miller My name is Waldo, holla if you find me! In love with my skateboard! Currently riding for @sure_industries

I’m glad we found her and I’m thrilled that it keeps getting easier to find skater girls because everyday there’s more.

I skate and want other girls to skateboard because it’s fun.  Fun like love is something you feel.  If you feel love for your skateboard like Lacy – I bet you’re having fun – keep it that way!

 

 

Gratitude is Stylish

shoeless with God

I forgot to bring my shoes, but God gave me a heart as strong as a powerful legs that broke the silence in the crowd, sometimes only need a powerful heart to pass through the streets and challenge…. – sukmawatiayu 

You can choose to be thankful for what you have or jealous for what you don’t have.  Actions are the same way – you can go out and enjoy or sit and complain.

Gratitude looks good on everyone on & off the board – now get out there and enjoy this beautiful Sunday!

Experience the Journey

friends

Bianca’s bio reads life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.  

If you face life like a problem you are always working on how to fix it – you aren’t satisfied with what it is.  If you face life like an experience you can enjoy it for what it is.

Life isn’t a destination – it’s a journey – so enjoy it on & off the board.
