Don't let anything stop you from skating. It's the best thing ever! I think guys are just not that comfortable seeing girls being good at guy stuff. Don’t let anything stop you from skating.

So these guys make sarcastic comments and give you a hard time because they're insecure, they lack self confidence, and they're not sure what else to say. Ironically they don't want to look stupid and they think giving you a hard time makes them look tough, when in reality it just shows their lack of communication skills. So just have a good time, do your thing, and recognize that these guys are all just little, scared boys inside who are trying to look tough. The day you meet a skater who compliments you instead of insulting you, then you've met a guy who was raised by some good parents who taught him how to treat a lady right.

She has only been skating about 5 yrs. She is sponsored by Dekine and Sasquatch Skateboards. She has won many competitions, but never even comes close to winning what the guys do. In her age group 17-21 for girl she came in first and won an IPOD Charger, yes I said charger, even though they didn't even know if she had an IPOD! the winner in the guys division won $500. That is Discrimination!! The girls never win the prizes guys do, she has even place above alot of the guys when skating against them. She is also on one of Monday's cover if you go to www.earthpatrol So how does she get things to change? How does she turn pro? Maybe you have some ideas. Thank you for your time and for letting me vent some of my frustration!!

And the ones that do only last a few weeks. Around where I live (eastern Ontario) theres barely any girls that skate. And the ones that do only last a few weeks.
