Pick Up Your Sisters

1

This is Daniela Garcia and you can see her doing some fun tricks and offering solid advice on her Instagram.

I especially love the quote above because we should act like sisters and be there for each other. Skateboarding involves falling – it’s always easier to get back up when you’re with a friend and can laugh together.

Laughter like smiling never goes out of style on or off the board!

Fun in Finland

The first time I saw Helena skate it was with the caption:  _helenana Young girl from Finland who loves longboarding so much.

I said– let’s get that girl on the blog.  Here she is and she’s happy to share her picture.  I always say keep it fun and when you love something it makes it easy to keep it fun.

More girls skate as they see girls skating and having fun – where are you having fun skateboarding?

Stylish Pink Helmet

heidi

I just love how Heidi topped off her skate outfit with a cute helmet. Ok helmets aren’t cute like the rest of her outfit but in comparison to most helmets this one with the pop of pink is stylish.

Till next time keep it fun & stylish on & off the board. Remember it’s your choice to wear or not wear a helmet. If someone is telling you it’s not cool or bullying you about wearing a helmet – well that’s just not stylish. 

And if the sign says fine for not wearing a helmet – believe it – I know people who’ve gotten tickets – still your choice just know the risk.

Beylea is 22 months and she enjoys skateboarding and surfing.  Her inspiration big brother Dylan!

Huge shout out to Dylan for taking time to spend quality time with his sister and encouraging her to just try things.  I love skateboarding with my dad and I would skateboard with my little bro.  He doesn’t skate – he totally supports me!

Skateboarding doesn’t make you a better person  – supporting others to be their best on & off the board that’s what’s stylish.

 

Who bullied who?

Today I was accused of bullying because I stood up for a friend of mine. I don’t regret standing up for my friend. One of the reasons I blog is because I’m not afraid to use my voice and say what I like and don’t like.

I learned the hard lesson that texts are not a good way to communicate your frustrations, even if you didn’t say anything mean. I also learned that texts conversations can be edited and then printed. And unfortunately I found out not everyone is willing to hear your side or look at the texts on your phone.

Everyone makes mistakes – I did even though my intentions were good.

I remain against Bullying and I believe in standing up to Bullies.  I also believe that people who cry Bully – end up like the boy who cried wolf.

Wishing Acceptance, Friendship, Compassion, Kindness & Respect to everyone on & off the board.

Help with Skateboarding

cute

This is someone’s first time on a board – I love it. I love that she did it because really getting on a piece of wood with four wheels and no brake or steering wheel – that’s scary! And I love that someone was there to help her.

I’m sure people can teach themselves skateboarding – I’ve seen people watch videos and learn how to do tricks. I just like the idea of having help.

How did you first learn to skateboard or what was something bugging you for a while until you just did it? Share those pictures and stories of what you did to get or keep skateboarding – that’s inspirational not just to me but many other skater girls.

Friends On & Off the Board

Friends

Never underestimate the importance of friendship. They say new friends are silver and old friends gold. I say a true friend is diamond.

Absolutely love this picture of Olivia aka lilmissgardner and the caption “Riding with my Besty”.

When I first started skating it was hard making girlfriends – there just weren’t many girls – I’m grateful for more girls at the skate park. And I guess I have to thank skateboarding for “forcing” me to meet all kinds of new people. I used to be terrified of new parks, new anything – now I’m ok especially when I can face new with a friend.

Friendship is always in style – be authentic & true on and off the board.

 

 

Dutch Girls Can Skate

roos

Happy Monday from Roos a Dutch Skater Girl with some rad socks. We all know my geography is sketch but my fashion is on point and I love those socks and her style.

I read a Mandela quote today:  May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears.

This picture absolutely reflects my hopes of when girls skateboarding around the world is taken for granted.  To all the pioneers before us and all the girls like Roos sharing pictures now – skate strong, have fun, and inspire others to skate with you.

 

Open Minds are Stylish on & off the Skateboard

kim

Never did I ever imagine I would pick up a longboard and fall in love with it. The desire didn’t even come from me. It came to me randomly down the pipeline of heaven. God knows me better than I know myself. To know Him is to better know who He created me to be.Kimberly

I love Kimberly’s post and I hope others just go with a feeling and pick up a skateboard.  It doesn’t matter if you don’t know why you have a feeling to skateboard – just try it.  LOL you can always quit but at least you’ll know you tried it.

Keep an open mind on and off the board – it’ll keep you stylish!

Girls Skateboarding on the Today Show & in the NY Times

minna

If you missed yesterday’s Today show you missed my sk8 sister Minna!

I’m so happy for Minna and for all girls because when girls see girls having fun skating – more girls skate.

The Today show is an icon with tons of viewers. Imagine how many girls got inspired to try skating.

Minna has inspired me since day 1. No I’m not going down any mega ramp soon – she encourages me to do my personal skate best.

Love you Minna and looking forward to tomorrow’s article in NY Times. Thanks for showing girls skateboarding is fun
