To complete the collage of #girlscanskate USA I tagged girls to find out what state they were skateboarding in, skate shops to see if they knew any skater girls, and yes boys who were skating in the states I was looking for.

For the most part everyone was friendly & helpful. Except the guy in West Virginia who assured me the only girls at skate parks are girlfriends.  

That’s why it’s especially fabulous that I found hippiechick_soul who’s skateboarding in West Virginia via a skater boy – rastastar420!

One thing I’ve learned from skateboarding is there will be haters – from the people who say girls can’t skate to the people who tell you you’re not a good enough skater.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion – and yes I get it hurts when they tell you – just remember it’s their hate, fear, insecurity, stupidity, whatever.  Never let others tell you who you are or what you can do.

You get to choose who to surround yourself with – so choose wisely because other people’s attitudes can get on you!
