Paris City of Love & Skateboarding Girls

paris

Paris is known for its fashion designers with the twice-yearly Paris Fashion Week, and for its haute cuisine, with many three-star restaurants. And now it’s known for its skating fashionistas. I first noticed the style of Alix, she then told me she is not alone skating the streets of Paris and introduced me to the Surf_the _street_Paris crew.

I visited Paris several years ago and knew I’d have to keep going back for the fashion. Now I know I have to go back for the skateboarding too!

Everywhere Around the World Girls Can Skate

A must Instagram to check out is h_222_8 she’s keeping it fun and fashionable in the Republic of Korea and as you see she’s got friends.

Yes, I continue to get comments about how skating is not for girls and I don’t publish what I don’t believe. Girls can skate and you don’t have to be a master shredder to have fun skating – you need a board & a positive attitude. Stay tuned more proof that girls can skate to follow!

Skateboarding Ohana Style

Christian Ras Hafeez is an amazing athlete and inspiring coach. His skate school, Gravity Cartel,  teaches the world to ride one board at a time – Ohana Style.

From one of the classics – Lilo & Stich – Ohana means family and nobody gets left behind. Thanks Christian for the reminder skateboarding is about being family!

In my family we accept members for who they are. That means I support skaters on any kind of board and at their personal level.

Girls are Skateboarding in Russia

Yes, girls are definitely skateboarding in Russia, just check out katevoynova to see girls keeping it fun & fashionable. You can also find her on Riders Channel.

I love her fashion style and how she keeps the skate spots interesting. Skating is not a crime and parking garages really are ideal spots when it’s raining or snowing.

On my mission to get more girls skateboarding for fun & fashion – I look for girls already doing that because more girls skateboard when they see how fun it can be.

I love, love, love this photo and the caption. Her 2015 resolution is to skateboard. Looks to me she’s succeeding. She’s also named her board – Fred – and he’s a part of the family. BTW digging the scarf!
