Hey Mike,
I’m a girl skater and I just wanted your opinion on something.
Do you think its BS that girls don’t skate in the Dew tour? And that when we do get to skateboard in big events we have a separate contest (like the X-Games). I think women have the same abilty to skate as men. I understand that in the NFL and NHL women don’t play with them but skating is different, we are equal. So why can’t women compete in the same contest as men? I think it’s BS. So, my goal is to be the first woman to compete in the Dew Tour against the men.
Just wanted to know your stand on this issue.
-Katelynn
Hi Katelynn and thanks for writing.
You’re very right that skateboarding is different and that in the streets and at the skateparks we are all equal. That’s what makes skateboarding so powerful and meaningful to us, it breaks down all boundaries. If you skate then you’re a skater and that’s the bottom line where we all are connected.
To me the Dew Tour and the X-Games are real non-factors. Competition is not skateboarding; contests prove and mean absolutely nothing. The real energy, creativity and essence of skateboarding happens in the streets, at the skateparks and anywhere where skaters are skating for the fun, love and passion of skating. The best of skateboarding can’t be crunched into a contest run or trained for or defined by a gold medal or prize money. The best of skateboarding happens when no one else is watching but is shared with friends and comrades in the streets and at the parks. Skateboarding is not a spectator sport, it is a creative pursuit.
That being said, there is no reason that females shouldn’t and don’t compete with the males at the Dew Tour or X-Games other than no one has forced the issue. No reason at all why you can’t be the first.
Never Give Up.
