Endless Roads

Screen shot 2015-07-07 at 1.48.34 PM

Glittersforashes captioned this picture – Endless Roads.  I loved the caption because skateboarding has opened so many roads for me.

I would still love fashion if I didn’t skateboard but I doubt I’d have a blog.  The blog has introduced me to so many girls and opportunities around the world that I really feel free to travel.

I read a quote yesterday from Gossip Girl  – as with any journey, who you travel with can be more important than your destination – I agree and am grateful for the people I’ve met through skateboarding.

 

One Girl is Strong – Many Girls are Invincible

Usually I work ahead so the post you see is something I saw a week or so before – which I love because it means there are more & more girls out there skateboarding for fun & keeping it stylish.

Today I saw this & it’s the daily post – it comes from Judy in Ormoc City – Philippines.  Judy is with her skateboarding crew – I love the smiles on their faces!  There’s over 10 girls in this shot so I just know more girls skateboard when they see other girls skating.  Plus I know more girls skateboard when we encourage each other.

This was not the only picture that made my morning the other was from Girls Not a 4 Letter Word – congratulating Leticia Bufoni for making ESPN’s The Body Issue.

When girls congratulate each other – celebrate each others victories – that’s when all girls grow.  One girl is strong – many girls are invincible!

Yes I do think this picture is beautiful as the ESPN Body Issue always celebrates the human body – and it’s rad that ESPN shows that both the male & female body are beautiful.

Till next time keep it stylish on & off the board!

Never Too Little To Push, Have Fun & Build Confidence

keep pushin get confidence

Youth Skateboarding build confidence with every push!   py2p or pushingyouth2push.

I say go Sophie & go team PY2P.  Skateboarding is sport and art – I’ve been saying for awhile it’s like rolling yoga.  Skateboarding teaches your body balance but also your mind.

New tricks seldom come first try so with every new trick you try you have to first believe in yourself and then be ready to try, try again.  Endurance is stylish on & off the board!

 

Be Happy and Love Life

Henrietta Bishop is a 19 years old skater girl who lives by the motto be happy and love life.

I totally agree and it got easier for me to be happy and love life when I realized it doesn’t matter what others are doing, it matters what I am doing!  I’m skateboarding for fun & I’m staying true to my fashion sense – I’m encouraging other girls to skate for fun & stay who they are.

Being and loving yourself is stylish on & off the board!

 

Get Outside & Play

Happy Weekend everyone!  Hope you’re all getting outside to play!Sierra 

I’m with Sierra – wishing everyone a happy playful weekend.  Sierra does more than skateboard – she’s actually a pro skier, model, yogi, and surfer who’s bio reads . . . . All good things are wild & free.

Keeping it stylish on & off the board means keeping it fun for yourself and everyone else.  Freedom is about being grateful for your rights and respecting other peoples’ rights.

Happy & Fun Fourth of July Weekend to everyone around the world!

Enjoy Life & Take Time to Say Thank You

What caught my eye about this picture first – the Arbor Board – I am after all an Arbor Girl.  Then I read the caption:

two women who have changed my life – Brice Benhadj

so I had to share the picture – it’s so important to stop and take time to say Thank You to the people who support you.  Your supporters help you grow and become a better person.

I have my share of haters – talking about my skateboarding not being that good so who am I to encourage more girls to skateboard – there’s more to life than being good at something – there’s enjoying something.

Here’s to all the people in our lives who help us enjoy life – that’s stylish on & off the board.

 

Princesses do Skateboard

Rylee’s birthday present! She watched the Pink Helmet Posse on TV and became obsessed and she tries to skate on her brothers board so I got her a board her size.  – Mom Michelle

Rylee I love your style – you truly are a princess and the light up shoes are the bomb!  Thanks for sharing this picture and for proving that more girls skateboard when they see girls skateboarding!  I’m so glad you saw the Pink Helmet Posse on TV and I’m sure you will inspire other girls to skate too.

Happy Birthday Rylee – wishing you a year of fabulous style on & off the board!  Michelle love your style too – keep encouraging Rylee and so many other girls to be themselves & have fun!

 

 

 

When Your Mom is a Ninja_sk8r_mum . . .

When your mom is a Ninja_sk8r_mum you know you’ll get lots of encouragement. Check out the mom’s account to see some rad shots of all her ninjas. And yes Ninja_sk8r_mums do skate themselves.

Abagail or abstar_the_nut has skate style and she’s learning new tricks all the time.  And as a girl with a blue streak – I have to say I love the pictures where you see her pink hair!

Keep being a rad – mother-daughter team your positivity inspires others to get stylish on & off their boards!

Oh and by the way does anyone know where to get a Harley Quinn deck?  If not I’m sure I know who’ll be designing it herself.

 

Be Creative & Encourage Creativity

This cool kid made her very own skateboard this year thanks to an awesome teacher! I can’t get her off of it now!Shanna Flynn

I love this picture because I see happiness & pride!  And who wouldn’t be happy & proud if they made their own skateboard and then got to skate it 24/7.

Shout out to the parents & teachers who encourage creativity. True style is always evolving so be creative on & off the board!

Remember to share your skateboarding stories – let your joy be someone else’s inspiration!

 

Off to Woodward West with HTC

camp

Hi – it’s me on Sunday June 28th headed to Woodward West for a week of skateboarding fun.

I’m overwhelmed by all the support I’m getting from girls willing to help me get more girls skateboarding for fun.  And lucky that my mom will put my posts up for me while I’m gone.

Encouragement is so stylish – keep being rad on & off the board & if I see you at Woodward West this week – I’ll get your pic with my HTC – the camera on my Desire is all that & more – just check my pictures out on my Instagram!
