I am a 15 Female and skateboarding is amazing. I find so stress relieving, and if you want to try it, I think it might really help you out. I ride pretty good, and I am trying to learn to ollie. I am also getting pretty good at my manual. I hope to one day know a few tricks. 🙂

Good luck to you. I get sea sick watching good skateboarders. It looks really difficult.
It is difficult lololol oh well practice makes perfect.
That’s awesome, it’s a really good way to channel frustrations/aggressions isn’t it? Not to mention the potential creativity and sense of achievement, every new trick learned is a small triumph.
I’m jealous you get the joy of just starting, I used to skate alot years back, but I’m like an old man these days. I still go for a cruise every now and then when the ol’ skellington permits. Make the most of it while you’re young and fearless!
Good luck on the Ollies! People don’t appreciate how difficult it is just to get off the ground for half a second on a skateboard 😛
exactly! Ollies are sooooo hard to do ugh I wish it could be easier, but then again I love the thrill of learning them.
Messing around on grass where you’re completely still and have a cushioned surface to fall on always helps! Or standing parallel to a railing and practicing while you hold onto it, I remember learning heelflips that way.
What sort of skating interests you more, transition or more techy street stuff?
Keep at it, you’ll be doing Switch back-tail flip out in no time 😛
Both I guess, I love both styles.
Your post just gave me a flashback You ever watched rocket power?
lol yes ages ago 😀
Hahahha same here and it was rocket power that made me skate board I never was able to do the olie though I hope you find out how to. And stay away from doing the suicide tricks like otto lol keep it real girl
eek ok I will try haha
i’ve always wanted to learn how to skate, but i’m shy and i’m scared of what people would think since i’m a girl. i don’t want people to think i’m doing it to seem cool or for male validation, lmao.
i overcame that fear, though. someone special to me taught me how to longboard. its been a while since i’ve longboarded, though cus i’m too broke to get my own board. it’s really fun and it can be an exercise too. i’m glad you find joy in skateboarding c:
good luck with learning tricks!!
Yay! also don’t fear being a girl and doing things society thinks is weird. Enjoy it.
