I think this video explains it best, and im only glad that jess boland, Kiara Meade, and the other girls popping up aren't intimidated like i was.

Dirt and Christian if you have nothing to contribute get out of this thread ight?

I'm completely for girls who shred hard.

You really gotta chill sometimes. You ask me to help you out on here, you say you dont wanna be known as a post whore anymore, then you make posts like that.... No one can help you unless you help yourself.

I admit, sometimes it is weird seeing girls at the skatepark, but they can do what they want. Maybe they arent that good, but how do you know they didnt just start riding? The girls in that video were killing it. People need to respect everyone as a rider, no matter what theyre riding, how old they are, if theyre a guy or girl, just starting out or a pro.
One of my good friends sister is 13 and sooo small for her age. Im around 5'9" and shes barely past my elbows. But she got into scooters cause of her brother and all of his friends. At our local park, she throws bars, airs, drops in on the big bowl without any problems. She commits way more than most of the guys that are her age at the park.

You havent posted in so long Margaret haha.

yeah, i dont come on here, it's not the same.


^both comments were interesting.

 

[tylerbillman]

I would much rather ride with girls than with guys, they're more fun and like to talk more hahaha. It would be very cool to see more and more on the come up like Jess Boland.

 

[Grant Schofield]

the comment that stuck out to me was "its like guy doing ballet" at first i was like no not at all. that would make the guy gay, but thats exactly what its like for the girls that do this kinda stuff

 

[Billie Rainbow]

hahaha my girlfriend has been saying scootering is like ballet but on a scooter for ages, weird shit

 

[felinaferoz]

yeah everything those girls were talking about is completely true.

 

[parrish]

i kinda feel like girls skating is a lot like scootering as a whole, watch that whole video, and just think about it

Im not trying to start a shitfest like ryans making it sound like, but this is a potentially serious subject for a thread, in the mature discussion. So posts like that in threads like these kinda set me off.
Nothing personal.
