it's amazing to see the level of skating that girls have acquird in skating. Myself, who started skating in the very early 2000s, have been skeptical (to say the least) of the rising in popularity of skateboarding and the consequences that came along, but nowadays I find the presence of girls/women in skateboarding very cool.
I feel like up until this point women have had to proof themselves to male skaters, and they have been have been catching up so quick!
Probably gonna get alot of shit on this, but I'm eagerly waiting for the moment that women don't stop copying "male" skating but add their own input/flavour and put their mark on the discipline. Powerwise female skateboards probably can't compete with their male counterparts (which is fine, it's not a competition). However, I think in a few years there will be women who will change skating (for both male/female) simply because they have different insights/values (whatever you wanna call it) that could add substantially to the skateboarding culture, and 'm down to witness it go down.
