There are many indoor and outdoor skateparks with all the goodies, and Katii and I are trying our hand at it all. New boards, new things to learn.... going from longboarding/carving to learning slalom was nothing compared to this business of dropping in, balancing on the coping (sp?)and all that jazzy stuff. I remember watching you ride that huge half pipe out in Hood River, and when I see one close to it here, I think "OH MY GOODNESS".. Please come and visit, we would love to skate with ya. (Katii and I will be racing in Sweden on December 10th) the trip is as easy as going to Georgia, How Bizarre!!     Rate post 222490 !

Looking forward to Legoland Sunday 11:30. Hi to Woodcamp! Glad to hear you are allowed to skate now. Isabelle, let's skate Lorretta this weekend. Saturday? There's a swell, but we can't surf the WHOLE day, or can we? LYnn     Rate post 222411 !

What I mean is, sponsorship being the goal of skateboarders- it just ain't right... So, any free gear, money, etc. can be sent to: me. J/k. But seriously. I agree with what some of you other ladies said about it not coming knocking on your door, but, I think it's a little ridiculous when I see the same kids skating the same tricks, making videos of themselves, and that's the only time you see them skate. IF there's a camera around. Stop me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just... I don't even know what I think of it. I don't guess it's pathetic, but, it isn't right...     Rate post 222189 !

Sponsorship will KILL skateboarding. It's not about free gear, it's not about money, it's not about fame and fortune- but wow, it's awesome that people can acheive that through DOING WHAT THEY LOVE. That's what its all about. If your focus isn't in the right place, it's OBVIOUS to EVERYONE who sees you skating that you are MISERABLE, and guess what? Desperation isn't attractive on ANYBODY. When you go out looking for Mr. Right, guess what? you don't find him. When you're short sighted to the point you can only see what you DON'T have, it's ugly. And skater girls who LOVE IT, man, that's hot.     Rate post 220788 !

Especially in the skate world. When my daughters and I started skating, we were literally overwhelmed by the support, not only in free gear, but in every other way that is so much more important. It's not about busting your ass; it's about loving what you do and enjoying the people that do it with you.     Rate post 220667 !

I did bust ass getting "known", literally....no help 'cept for my son Russell(aged 9 at the time, then my beloved Gravityboard crew and some amazing Frenchmen of the Supaflex team..... Then came the miracle called CONCRETE WAVE, where equality is finding itself....May the Transworld, Skateboard mags and the like burn in hell for their oppresive moves.....and may we see more thoughtful posts....... THINKING IS THE ONLY MOTIVATOR OF CHANGE......NOTHING IN LIFE'S FREE....that's just another myth.     Rate post 220665 !

On 11/2/2005 Gloria Steinem wrote in from United States  (207.200.nnn.nnn) "All I have to say is how the F*ck are you supose to get know(n) in the skate world when you have to bust your ass off just to get know(n), where are the people who are supose to support and help you(?)" Why aren't THEY spending their time to search me out, find me and give me free money? THEY are such slackers, and it must be a plot to oppress me! Who exactly is "they" that are "supposed" to be boosting women's skating? Why are they "supposed" to? What the F are YOU doing to make it worth "Their" while? Are you a great skater? Wahoo.....tons of those around, and guess what?--they all want free stuff and coverage and sponsorship and etc, just like we do. So, how to the Isabelle Caudles, the April Woodcocks, the Ellen O'Neill's of the world get that leg up and become "known"? I bet it wasn't by whining about how oppressed they are and that THEY never came knocking on our door to ask us to please skate for them and accept free money. What do you think? Do you want to get "known"? Then wash your hair, brush your F'ing teeth, pick up your skateboard and go meet other skaters. Skate with them, talk with them, socialize with them, and then go do it again, at somewhere bigger. Get off your own fat butt and shoot some video of yourself and post it on the internet so others can see. Maybe you SUCK, maybe you don't, but if you slink around in tiny groups of dispirited, griping bitches, then why in the world would THEY ever want to support that? Whoever THEY is, anyway. THEY are all over, though. THEY support the All Girls Skate Jam, the Hello Kitty monster event in HB, the Downhill Divas and on it goes. THEY publish photos of us in Concrete Wave, every single issue! THEY also run like hell from anyone that demands "what's due" instead of grinning, stoking and riding. It doesn't matter whether we're a chick or a dick. NOBODY owes us anything even if THEY happen to be out there, just waiting for someone smart enough to come calling with a smile and some stoke.     Rate post 220652 !
