I don't get why anytime a girl skateboarder puts out a clip, a bunch of dudes who can't skate for shit claim they could do everything she did.
No, you can't, and on the off chance anybody posting here can do back smiths down 10 stair hubbas or kickflip back lips on bump to bars, they would probably have enough respect for what goes into them to not talk shit on her when she does them.
I get the idea that girl pros aren't doing shit that is impossibly difficult, but just because you can imagine yourself doing the trick doesn't mean you can do it or that its easy.
Leticia I think gets screwed by a double edged sword. She is good, but there is so much attention to her looks that nobody respects her for being a skateboarder who is willing to put her body on the line to do gnarly tricks that genuinely are groundbreaking in the world of women's skating. I get that she benefits in other ways from the whole modeling thing, but I'm talking about in the pure skate world. Its super lame how if a girl grooms herself in a traditional girly way like Leticia, she is slut shamed and people disrespect how she skates, but if she dresses like "one of the guys" like Lacey Baker or something, people disrespect her as too manly. Its particularly weird in the skate community, where guys are allowed to dress or present themselves in all sorts of insane and kooky ways without nearly as much criticism as Leticia gets for dressing in a feminine manner or Lacey gets for wearing the same fucking stuff that the guys who are fully accepted get.
