Skateboarding in the Parking Garage & Always at the Beach

garage shot

Ali has been skating since she’s been 12 – she skates in Downtown Winter Haven – the parking structure is an ideal place to skate and she has some rad videos!

Skateboarding is also her go to transportation for the beach – she’s a Florida girl with skate style & luck – she won those Red Bulls.

Till next time keep it stylish on & off the board plus share where you’ve been skateboarding – more girls skate as they see girls skating and we encourage each other!

Ballito Girls Skateboard

Screen shot 2015-06-16 at 9.07.23 AM

Janke Spangenberg is a Ballito skater girl.  Don’t know where Ballito is –  no worries I didn’t either.  Ballito is in South Africa.  As I’m on my mission to get more girls skateboarding for fun – I meet so many more people than I would have and learn about places and things I never new existed.

I also find awesome reminders – Janke’s bio reads live life to its fullest 

Live life to its fullest on & off the board.  The world is full of believers & supporters – be one and you’ll find others.

Girls Designing Skateboard Decks

I saw this board – I loved this board. When I investigated – using my Veronica Mars skills – I found the artist is Melka a tattoo apprentice with a Big Cartel shop and a Rad to the Bone IG. This board was commissioned (I’m all about custom) and I can’t wait to see more of her art.

Oh and of course she skates and is happy to say there are more girls now than when she started. Let’s keep seeing more girls skateboarding and more skateboards designed by girls. Skateboarding is totally sport and art, let’s show the world!

 

Skateboarding and in the Band

Saphi’s a quick learner at skateboarding, a natural at style, and yes she’s in a band: We Are Fourth Avenue. She has talent and style on & off the board – as do so many other girls. Keep sharing your photos and stories – girls are unstoppable when we encourage each other.

Besides longboarding, Anna in Germany loves photography and travel. Today’s travel trip – take your skateboard on all your adventures . Remember your camera too – because more girls skate as they see girls skating.

Southern California to Magdeburg, Germany may be miles apart but both places have girls who keep it stylish on & off the board – where are you skating?

Believe You Can Fly

First time on a skateboard – looks like she’s flying which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

fly2

Stella Rose is lucky to have a mom to inspire her to take chances. Yes, it’s scary to take chances but if you never do you’ll never know. Till next time keep it stylish and take chances on & off the board so you can fly too!

Ava is a girl like me – skating with her dad. She’s north of me – Canada north of me in Edmonton.

She’s only 7 but as you can see she’s got some rad outfits to keep it stylish on her board. It also looks like she has a couple of boards and one of them has my boy Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas.
