When I saw Emily’s picture I knew she was having fun. Then I found out she was a Cali girl living and skateboarding in Arkansas and knew she was a girl who keeps it fun & fashionable everywhere.

I googled it – looks like it’s closer than I thought but far. Emily keep it stylish on and off the board and let us know if you get more girls skateboarding for fun in Arkansas – we believe in you.

Skateboarding for Miles & Miles

pole

Dekai Navarro is a long distance skateboarder. She’s a member of the 100 Mile club – she’s actually the youngest female to complete 131.4 miles in 24 hours.

Truth I didn’t know there was a 100 Mile Club, but because Dekai took the time to share I am aware and in awe. I’m going to try it and I love her leggings which she says are from @thejivashop .

Remember we all win when we share what we can do and encourage others to do their best.

Skateboarding To & Around School

school ride

My first year of college wouldn’t have been the same without riding her to every class and everywhere I went, I love her to pieces! My sexy lady (aka my longboard) tonibaker

I admire all skateboarders who keep it stylish and fun.  And anyone who can make school fun is an inspiration to me. Toni probably gets to class on time too just another:   Thank You Skateboarding.

Keep sharing your skateboard adventures – more girls do skate as they see girls skateboarding.

Make History Even if You Have to Misbehave

birthday

Can’t believe it. The incredible @shanelondagin has done it again. He made me the coolest Birthday present ever.  Carly

Celebrating birthdays is always in style and I love, love, love personal gifts.  I’m not saying no to gift cards – keep sending them – I’m just saying personalized gifts really touch my heart.

Style isn’t about how much something costs – classic style is about how much something makes you feel happy. Style and fun are priceless.

Make sure to read her board –  Well behaved women rarely make history

Now go out there and keep it stylish on and off the board!

Never Give Up & Always Encourage Others to Try

emma

I started skating on September 13th 2013, I practiced ollies that whole entire day, then landed it on September 14th 2013. Then I learned all the basics, and in November I landed a kickflip. A few weeks later it started snowing… I couldn’t skate for 7 months during that time! March of 2014 the snow melted and I had to relearn EVERYTHING except for the ollie! That’s when I really got into skating! I’m so glad I didn’t quit because of winter. Last summer I moved to California so I didn’t have to deal with snow or the cold! Now that I’m injured I just think if i let it heal then I can skate in no time! The main message here is never give up, if I would of given up I would of never met all the cool people i know from skating! Skateboarding can be your outlet to anger or anything… I feel free when I skate, I like it because there are no rules and no teacher! you can kickflip how you want to kickflip, you can wear what you want to wear! In a way it’s like an art! Just remember if you’re going through tough times or whatever, NEVER GIVE UP! I remember when I met @buddy1leg and @blakes25r it taught me to never give up and anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Buddy told me never give up so I won’t! EVER!! – Emma

Emma inspires me through her pictures and her messages.  I’m wishing her a speedy recovery. And if you want to learn more about Emma also check out Shop 3 Thirty where she’s an ambassador.

Ollies took me longer than a day – and kick turns well that took until some boy with hella good hair took the time to help me – point is whether you learn fast or slow – it’s all about the fun and not giving up.

Share your skateboarding stories – more girls do skateboard as they see girls skating and we encourage each other!

Anastasia is an 11 year old from Milano, Italy and she’s looking rad as she goes over the coping.

Skateboarding and fashion encourage me to explore the world.  And thanks to my skateboard it will be easier to make friends as I travel.  Keep it stylish wherever you travel!

Live Your Life On & Off the Board

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.  It’s the life in your years.  – Madeleine in Thuringia, Germany

No matter where you are in the world – live your life – don’t play it so safe you never live. There are risks in skateboarding there are risks in everything.

There are people around the world who say NO, NEVER, CAN’T and there are people around the world you say YES, TODAY, CAN!

I choose to be with the people living their lives on & off the board!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Skateboard Today

marcia

2 years ago in May, I finally started skateboarding. As cheesy as it sounds, skateboarding was something I’ve wanted to do since I was little but I had to overcome a lot of obstacles to make it happen. Despite that, it was the best choice I’ve ever made and I could make a long list of all the amazing things it has brought into my life, but I’ll keep it short and just say #thankyouskateboarding. – Marica Garcia

Doesn’t sound cheesy to me!  So many people spend so much time wanting and thinking rather than doing – me included. Thank you skateboarding for pushing me out of my comfort zone and giving me the courage to try so many things on and off the board.

Skater Girl Doll

I did not have a doll this rad when I was growing up. I just love that she’s on the scene now.

Many girls look to dolls as role models or what “big” girls can do.  How awesome it is when dolls look like real girls and do fun things.

Thanks Leah in Toronto @dollinterrupted sorry you grew up skateboarding with no female role models but stoked you did something about it – you created her.

Keep it stylish on and off the board by being or creating the change you want to see.

 

Support Other Girls. Period.

Met this BADASS skater and the ONLY GIRL competing at #SPoTTampa @SPoTTampa  Gretchen

I saw the picture above and read that tag and I had to get to know her too.

She’s Meagan Guy and she’s definitely keeping it stylish and fun. I’m not a serious competitor, but I have respect for people with true sportsmanship.  Meagan you are definitely being a Glen CoCo keep shredding and showing the world girls can skate.
