I'm going skating with my electric skateboard tomorrow, and I have told my friends where I'll be. I assume some of them will show up and skate with me, yet nobody has said they'll be there without a doubt.
That doesn't concern me, however I can recall a period when the possibility of appearing with a skateboard alone panicked me. On my first excursion to a skatepark, I remained outside viewing through the fence. I was really anxious, making it impossible to go in. My heart was beating very fast. The skateboard park looked fun, however the thing that was frightening was the crowds of young skateboarders that ruled the park. The skaters looked extremely angry to me. They skated quick and irate, they took hard hammers, and they sometimes flew off their boards. Some were smoking, they were sweat-soaked and grimy, and some swore and tossed their boards as they missed a tricks for the thousandth time. They appeared to be completely savage from my vantage point outside the fence. I envisioned it was conceivable that some wouldn't value the way that I was there to skate, and may even endeavor to "show me a thing or two." To facilitate my nerves, I asked my 16-year-old neighbor to give me some training. And to my surprise, none of my previous feelings ended up being valid. The young skaters either overlooked me amid my exercise, or complimented me as I started to get things right. Since that time, I've skated at many parks across the country, and I've never felt unwelcome. A great many people I meet are benevolent, and happy to see another skater at the recreation center. They tap their decks in delight as an indication of regard when I do a successful trick. On the off chance that you ask, they are typically cheerful to demonstrate to you a line, or to offer a trick tip. The children chase after me and disclose to me they wish their mothers or sister would skate! Thus, I won't be disturbed if I see a new face at the skate park tomorrow. I'll start talking with them and share some tricks, and before I know it, I'll have made a couple more friends! Ciao! Barbara

Life can be extreme, yet skating makes us girls harder and tougher. Here's Barbara's rundown of the Best Things About Being A Girl Skater:
1. Skateboard girls are uncommon. When people see me skate, I grab their attention. I.e. I get noticed very easily 2. On the off chance that a skateboard girl can complete a a good amount of tricks and is extremely gifted, she wins respect from the young men. 3. Skateboard girls are wild and brave. They convey a cool and rebel vibe. 4. Security guys take it easier on girls when they attempt to kick us out of some private properties or any other unlawful skate spots. 5. Skateboard girls that shred day by day are sexy and rough. Our legs and asses are toned, we wind up more rougher each day and turn out to be more invulnerable to pain. Finally, I recall my first skate session at Tampa Pro Skateboarding competition. My experience there helped me comprehend the genuine importance of being a young girl skater. There are such huge numbers of young ladies in our locale who need to experience skateboarding, yet just some would really get a skateboard, and not many would actually go to a skate park. Particularly when a girl is a novice skater, being the only girl at a skate park can be awkward. Seeing all the folks doing tricks may be intimidating to the point, that we would simply wind up sitting on the sidelines, thinking about whether we would ever be in the same class as them. Meeting a portion of the individuals from Skateboard Talk and getting the chance to be a piece of our group influenced me to understand that skateboarding isn't just about being great at the game. It is tied in with being great companions with the individuals who skate. Party Central helped me make companions with other skater girls. We felt more agreeable, energized, and propelled. Indeed, it was really the first time I have seen a larger number of young girls than boys at the skate center. We helped each other learn new traps and tested each others' abilities. Furthermore, when we did that, we demonstrated girl power! Ciao! Barbara |
