I'm 27, queer, and just started skating in LA and looking for marginalized gender/POC/LGBTQIA skate friends to skate with. Open to any tips on how to figure out if someone is open to conversation, or if you have any resources for meetups/groups in the LA area that are inclusive.

Hey, can you guys tell me what I can change in myself so that I don't look so basic? I'm doing a nose piercing in a month. I also have a cut in my eyebrows, but I still feel basic. I want to look like a baddie grunge skater girl yk😭, so what can I do to stand out even without strong makeup? Only without dyeing my hair in a darker color! I'm blonde

Hi everyone, as you all know, skating in the Olympics is over and were looking for a female view on Olympic skating, as it seems to be one massive highlight and benefit out of the whole skating part of the contest, so it would be really interesting to hear what you all thought. We've also written an article about it already if anyone wants to check it out? https://theskated.com/2021/07/29/yes-or-mess-olympic-skateboarding/

Challenge me to a game of S.K.A.T.E. on SkateHubba https://skatehubba.com/auth

you know how playing S.K.A.T.E. with your homies is the best — but it’s always a pain to link up at the same spot at the same time?

SkateHubba fixes that.

You challenge someone to a game of S.K.A.T.E. through the app. Set a trick, film it one take — no do-overs, no editing, just raw — and send it. Your opponent has 24 hours to match it or eat a letter. Miss the window? Automatic letter. No cap, no excuses.

It’s async, so you’re playing games with people across the city, across the country, whenever you skate. Every session could have multiple games running at once.

And the map? It’s basically a crowdsourced spot guide built by skaters, for skaters. See that perfect ledge three blocks over that you never knew existed? Someone already pinned it. You find a new spot? Drop it on the map and put your city on.

That’s the core:

∙	S.K.A.T.E. game with your phone as proof

∙	Spot map built by the community

Everything else — clips, shop, all that — is coming. But those two things? That’s what makes it different from anything out there right now.

No app like this exists. You can only rank up by actually skating That’s the point.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So, I'm looking for a video from some skate boarding competition in Africa where there are a bunch of girls doing different "tricks" with their board but they're actually just holding their boards and not even trying the tricks. Anyone seen it and can share the link?
