This is actually a video from Owen teaching his younger brother & sister how to skate. There are so many things to love about this video. That Owen is taking the time to share skateboarding with his younger siblings, that he let his sister keep her style, and that it’s now something they can share.
Helping your brothers &/or sisters is stylish on & off the board.
Kirrog64 captioned this photo Practicing those turns 🙂 I just love how skating can make practice fun – it’s getting exercise done without really seeing it as work. Plus skating is transportation – gets you to class or about town.
Plus parking is a snap – at the campus or beach you can literally roll right up. How are you having fun with your skateboard? More girls skate as they see girls having fun – please take the time to share your pictures & stories to encourage others.
Kate_meistre shares this picture of landed a boneless this weekend. She also works with other girls on a Face Book page to encourage girls skateboarding – it’s called Girls Can Skate – South Africa.
Skateboarding is rad – sharing skateboarding is incredible. Thanks Kate for keeping it stylish on & off the board by encouraging girls to believe they can skate too.
I do believe you can choose to be happy where ever you are. Just like you can be grateful for what you have or sad about what you don’t have.
I’m loving this picture from natali_kot – she’s a model, blogger, youtuber, dancer, and traveller who loves life.
I love her ollie and it’s got to be one of the most beautiful skate pictures I’ve ever seen. The background is incredible. She is Happy on a Hill.
To see more of how natali keeps it stylish on & off the board check out The Nattiness.
You know you’re at a stylish community BBQ when it offers a skateboard clinic. That’s exactly what the 71st Precinct did in this photo from okbana taken at the Parkside Playground.
If you want to know more about Skate Yogi who put on the clinic check them out through the link. Or go through okbana’s bio as he’s the founder.
As for this photo – so much style – red helmet matching the sandals – and yes when you’re having fun skateboarding you can where sandals! Looks like she’s getting excellent instructions & she’ll know when it’s time to get serious skate shoes.
Keep it stylish on & off the board – hope to see more pictures from skate clinics soon!
I found out about Nux USA from my mom. She handed me a business card where the job description said In-House Sales Diva and said “You two might have some things in common.” I was intrigued so I investigated – the following is what I learned from Christina Jones – the In-House Sales Diva herself and Malek S. Neman founder & CEO of Nux – activewear for inspired living.
SF: I love Nuxology – who came up with that and was it before or after the clothes?
MSN: I have always been a “seeker”. Along the way, in my life as a seeker, I have learned many things from masters, teachers, wise friends and my travels. NUXOLOGY is an blend of such learnings that I try to apply to my life and that I think applies to our work.
SF: What’s your role and how long have you been there?
MSN: I am the CEO of NUX and started the company in 2007.
SF: At NUX, we measure our success by the inspiration we are able to
evoke. I loved reading that on the webpage. How do you hear back from customers success & how do you share that?
MSN: We have open social media channels of communication (such as Instagram and facebook), where people tag us wearing our clothing, hashtag NUX or NUXUSA, or send us pictures of themselves working out in our clothing. We are always trying to improve on our communication.
SF: Compression – what kind of compression would you recommend for skateboarding? What kind is the one I liked based on looks?
MSN: The V Crop Pant is Moderate Compression, which is
great for higher impact activities; compression holds you in, and helps blood flow and perhaps is even more protective in case of a fall. A moderate compression piece would work well for skateboarding.
SF: Does compression lead to better performance and/or less
soreness?
MSN: There are many compression products on the market for runners and cyclers … compression leg sleeves, compression arm sleeves, etc. The benefits of these pieces are well documented. We at NUX offer beautiful articles of clothing with a built in compression. So it is fashionable and functional.
SF: Do you think wearing a compression top helps core strength? And if so why? I guess I’m wondering if it makes it harder to move but easier to be straight.
MSN: I am not sure about core strength, but we have received e-mails from customers with back problems telling us that the compression tops help with their back problems.
SF: Your offices are in LA area is that where clothes are made to or
what city/state?
MSN: We make everything with love in Los Angeles, California!
I appreciate Nux taking the time to answer my questions and I do recommend active wear for skateboarding because it is fashionable and functional.
It is true that you don’t see a lot of active wear clothing at the skatepark. There was a time when you didn’t see girls at the skatepark either.
So why do I think active wear has a place at the skatepark? I believe in smart material – material that wicks sweat so you feel dry – that’s smart. Material that improves circulation and can lessen back pain – that’s smart. Material that doesn’t split when you move while skateboarding – that’s at least helpful if not smart!
And above all – I believe in options. Sometimes I want to wear jeans, or skirts, or active wear, or . . . . I’m going to wear it because I want to & can. There is no skateboarding uniform – wear what you want & wear it well.
Do you have something to recommend while skateboarding? Send me a picture and your story – because more girls do skateboard as they see girls having fun skateboarding & staying true to their style.
Jaabru shares this video of Abrielle at Kids That Rip. I love that Abrielle is skateboarding & getting encouragement plus I love his pink shoes. (yes it’s his shoes that are pink)
Abrielle is six and wishes for more girls to skate with. Can we make that happen? Map says Kids That Rip is in Mesa Arizona.
I would really love if other skater girls in Mesa, AZ showed me how they keep it stylish on & off the board – [email protected] or tag me on Instagram skatingfashionista.
And if anyone is looking for a large gathering of skater girls – mark November 7th on your calendar because EXPOSURE Skate 2015 is happening at the Encinitas Community Park. Don’t compete – still come – I’ll be there at the Learn to Skate Clinic and I love meeting girls that love to skateboard just because – that’s real style!
I would say Mesa, Arizona is not too far from Encinitas, CA – but I’ve never been to Arizona – so I’m guessing that it’s not too far!
Brunamonamu shares this picture from Eixão Norte, Brazilia. We call it Pico dos Longbrothers.
Slalom skateboarding is a form of downhill skateboard racing that first appeared in the 60’s and 70’s and has made a resurgence in popularity in the 2000s. Slalom racers skate down a course marked usually by plastic cones. The racer tries to get through the course with the fastest time, while knocking down the fewest number of cones. wikipedia
The last time I skated between the cones was at Skate Beyond the Scars – if you haven’t tried it – do it – it’s so fun after all it’s Sunday why not make it Slalom Sunday!
Till next time keep it stylish on & off the board – all boarding is fun!
I skateboard for fun – but I don’t think I was this happy my first time on a skateboard. Thanks Eric for sharing this rad shot of your 4 year old’s first time on a skateboard.
I love her style especially the smile & the self-confidence.
A picture this great tells the whole story – #girlscanskate & skateboarding can be fun & fashionable – so till next time keep it stylish on & off the board!
