Female Skaters! (kill me if this already exists)

Avatar

Hey guys I’m new to the forum and thought I would (hopefully not too rudely of me hehe) start a thread for all female skaters on the site, as I stated kill me or this thread if one already exists!

A tell us about yourself and where you are from thread? maybe even link up local skaters!!

**Hi guys I’m Riley Jade,

I’m 27, female, gay, in a relationship and I love skateboarding, it has been my one true passion since I first started at the age of 10.

I took my first ever break from skateboarding from 2008 to late 2013 when I came back for good. I have broken my left wrist and shattered my right elbow skating.

I’m a street skater, not big on parks although I never really gave them a go, mainly because I’m so used to skateboarding by myself, I had a skate crew this would probably change.

My fave bands are Bloc Party, Foals, The Smiths, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, King Diamond and some hip hop.

I recently got on flow with Boardworld, which has been a dream and goal since I first started skating.


your turn!

Welcome! (again!)

We don’t have too many female skaters on here except for Stella I think. (where is the ability to page people to a thread)

I tried and failed miserably!!!

Too scared of concrete!

Hi I’m Mark,

I’m 30, male, straight, in a relationship and I love skateboarding, it has been my one true passion since I first started at the age of 15-16.

Skating less and less due to work and study commitments. Keep on pushing!

I’m obsessed by skateboarding if im not skating im online watching every thing skate related or flicking through old magazines. It was a lifestyle for me for a long time and hard to give up. I stayed away from trouble and a crazy family. Skateboarding gave me focus and hardworking values.
