I love that Mariah is both a skater

and photographer of other skater girls (below she’s doing both).

And of course I love that she has fun skating.

As for why Mariah loves skating and thinks more girls should skate

I love skating because it makes me feel fast and powerful! Gives me confidence that I can do adventurist tasks and that I am never too old to let go and have fun.

Long boarding makes me feel goofy, bad ass, and beautiful at the same time. I feel capable of anything and love breaking the typical stigma of boys being the ones who get to skate.

Girls look just as cool and can be just as good if they have a passion for it. I love taking my longboard out to the beach and cruising along watching everything as I fly by. I try and catch details as I pass everything and everyone and it overwhelms me how many beautiful, people/ things there are in this world!

This blog exists because more girls skate when they see stylish girls having fun skating and hear why they love to skate.  If Mariah’s answer didn’t just make you want to skate ???

It’s always the right time to try skating.  You can always quit if you don’t like it.  If you never try, you’ll just be wondering what if.
