Vans Presents: Credits | Skate | VANS

31F here. Learned longboarding around your daughter’s age, then picked up skateboarding a few years ago. For me, skateboarding is the main way I make friends, build community, and go outside. As a community, it’s changed a lot in the last 10-15 years. It’s a lot more inclusive now, and I meet tons of other women, queer, trans, and non-binary skaters. If you’re in a big city, see if there’s a program or meet-up for female/gender-diverse skaters. Skateboarding is awesome, and people who love it LOVE it. But it’s also very very very difficult. It can be frustrating, and it can hurt. Protective gear and a good board helps, but what really helps is friends and a community. Sidenote: filming is a big part of skating. If your daughter likes social media or making videos, this can be a source of inspiration. Perhaps share some cool videos of women skaters with her to get her hyped: Breanna Geering, Una Farrar, and Fabiana Delfino [VIDEO] Nora Vasconcellos [VIDEO] Poe Pinsom [VIDEO] Pro skaters will have very nice social media pages too. Let me know if you have questions. I’m stoked on getting others stoked on riding, especially young women!

Madrid del santo-zero vid [VIDEO] women’s vans video [VIDEO] I’ve included the all time greatest female skater video part of all time and a fairly recent all female video from vans that rips. I hope she continues to skate if she enjoys it, she’s not a loser for skating in general or just starting out. By skating she’s actually more likely to inspire others

Love that girl skaters are becoming more prevalent (and let her know she’s awesome for even trying something new!) This video [VIDEO] by Vans with all female skaters never fails to get me hyped, and if she has social media (or you do and just want to share some with her!), _skatewizard is a super cool female skater too :)

Credits [VIDEO] Sick music and good skating. This sort of vibe is exactly what I look for in skate videos.
