Skate Rising Phoenix is Monthly

IT’S OFFICIAL!
SKATE RISING IS HAVING MONTHLY EVENTS IN PHOENIX, AZ at 91 West Skatepark! The events will be every third Saturday of the month from 10am-12pm
Help them spread the word!  All girls are welcome & it’s FREE!
Check out this awesome video about Skate Rising created by Austin Urlocker after our very successful Phoenix event!

The January Skate Rising Phoenix event had 27 girls show up and made 50 backpacks full of school supplies for an after school skate program for underprivileged youth called Skate After School.  Every girl at the event committed to stand up to bullying by signing anti-bullying contracts!

More girls skateboard when they see stylish girls skating & get encouragement so share your stories too!

So Many Reasons Girls Should Skateboard

The reason for this blog is that more girls skateboard when they see girls skateboarding and find out why they skate.  There’s so many reasons to skateboard including transportation or

as @frejakilogram shows us in this video transportation for your petrol!

Moving petrol has never been so much fun, so stylish, and it was faster than just carrying it!

Where are you skateboarding and having fun?  Take the time to share because your pictures and stories are inspiration to someone else.

 

 

Skateboarding Together

Skateboarding can be fun alone, but why skate alone when you can skate with friends.

I love to see pictures where girls are getting encouragement to skate.   Thanks Marissa for sharing this video of 2 year old Mila.

Skateboarding is good for girls – it’s sport, art, transportation, exercise and builds self-confidence.  You learn so many life lessons from skateboarding from “falling isn’t failing” to how to approach a problem with a million solutions until you find the right one (patience, determination, brainstorming, etc.) so encourage a girl to skateboard and you’re encouraging a girl to learn life skills.

Keep sharing your pictures and stories because more girls do skateboard when they see stylish girls skating!

Awesome job Mila – asking for a skateboard was a very good idea!

Thank you to all those who help girls get skateboards and the gear they need to skate.

More girls skateboard when they see girls having fun skating so this sounds like a rad opportunity to inspire more girls!

Karen Surfing the Concrete Waves

Karen shares this video of surfing the concrete waves.  As Karen’s IG shows she keeps it stylish on & off the board.

In addition to a love of skating, Karen and I share a love of blue velvet boots.  Style is universal.

If you’re out there keeping it stylish on & off the board – please take a minute to share because seeing stylish girls skateboarding is the best way to get more girls skateboarding for fun.

 

Dani Skateboarding with Style in Brazil

Dani shares the above picture from Rio.  She’s a Brazilian DJ, actress, and skateboarder.

I absolutely love how Dani shares the fun of skateboarding.

Where are you keeping it stylish on & off the board?  When you share your pictures and stories you encourage other girls to try skateboarding.  And that’s a good thing because skateboarding is sport, art, transportation, exercise and builds self-confidence.

The lessons you learn from skateboarding will help you in life – so share the fun & potential with other girls!

Celebrate Your Skateboarding Journey

Motivation keeps you going.  Claudia aka @yukio_panda shares how she stays motivated to skateboard.

I love her video and her caption

✨Because even if you’re a beginner you need to see some improvement to keep you motivated ?? So here are some clips I filmed ?(oh yeah and I did a hippie jump too but I didn’t get it on tape unfortunately! ☹️)

 

I totally agree that celebrating and enjoying the journey is the best motivation.  I’m always inspired by beginners and their love to learn.

Thanks for sharing Claudia and can’t wait till you share your next video!

Claudia is keeping it stylish on & off the board by Lac de Louvain-la-Neuve.

It’s in the French speaking part of Belgium.  I knew I was taking French in school for a reason!

 

Skateboarding with the Family

Love this shot shared by Jacki.  She recently took an extra vacation week and had fun skateboarding with her girls.

I love pictures like this because they show skateboarding is fun for so many reasons.  You can skate with your friends & family, get a great workout and enjoy the most beautiful sites.

What adventure are you going on with your board?  Sharing your skateboarding adventures encourages other girls to give skating a try.

Devon Her Truck is Back

Devon aka mermaid sighting shares this video with the caption

took my new @arborgirls #whiskeyproject skateboard to moorpark skatepark today to skate with @the_train_dude @micerussell and lose my new back truck for a minute

Her truck is back in business.

I love how the mermaid has a squid deck.  I am partial because it’s my deck too!  I also have in common with Devon that she’s a blogger.  Check her blog The Tale of a Mermaid. 

Below she’s at Laguna Hills Skatepark

where are you having fun skating?  More girls skate when they see girls skating so I hope you take time like Devon did to share.
