Final question for this thing hopefully, what do you reckon about chick's who skate? Do you reckon they are welcome, do you wish they didn't and why do you reckon skating is a male dominated sport?

why do you reckon it is male dominated? Because most guys seem pretty keen on helping the girls out.

this is a male dominated sport but it doesn't stop alot of girls getting out there and shredding , frankly i think its really good to see that longboarding has some ladies exercising their right to skate and challenge the guys

I know its male dominated, but why do you reckon there aren't as many girls who participate?
Do you see them any differently to any other guy skater?

Its male dominated cause chicks are waaay smarter than us!

Seriously, name one other (unisex) sport where, given the usual safety precautions, the probabaility of frequent minor injuries (bruising, abrasion, concussion) is very much higher, excluding that bungee jumping thing those villagers do with vines instead of bungee, active participation in bucks/hens nights, and jackass stunt re-enactments.

 

Chicks that skate rock!

Hey Reg. Having skated for past 37 years & being a fathers of 2 girls who skateboard.

I have always thought highly of & encouraged girls who skate. It shows their ambitious, adventurous, have confidence in themselves & that their not intimidated by negative attitudes of others. Even more their enjoying the sensation of rolling,turning, gliding & sliding through space on a skateboard. Plus all the other great things that skating brings you.

Some of the things that deter people (male & female) from riding skateboards is the fear factor, risk of injury, physical ability & being criticised by other users.

It is also a fact that males are known to take mose risks in the activities they are involved in. This is a big factor in skateboarding having more male partisipants in the sport.

Then there are some males who feel threatened when there are females in their male dominated arena. This can stop many girls from skating. Negative vibes & overblown egos can turn you off anything in life. Hopefully that old way of thinking is on the way out.

As for the word 'dominate'. There are heaps of girls all over the world that skate better than alot of males. But I guess your talking numbers here ?

I think the more girls who get involved & enjoy skateboarding, the better of the sport will be in the future.

Who wants to hang out with a bunch of  smelly males all the time anyway. Not me.

FUCK YEAH GIRLS ON SKATEBOARDS!

men have more testosterone and shit like that in their systems and so get way better feeling and are more addicted to adrelaline rushes you get from from playing dangerous sports i.e. longboarding, rugby, mountain bike

but that doesnt stop alot of girls

More girls on skateboards means more pussy at the races!
This thread is certainly male-dominated.
