Any women here to offer their opinion.

Lots of dudes telling a black woman what she should do lol.  Let her skate.

woman here. for me personally, Beatrice is eclipsed by several other skaters: Samarria Brevard, Ariana Spencer, Adrianne Sloboh, Arin. I don't follow her skating for a reason, it just hasn't entranced me. It also seems like she's trying to do some modeling as well and that rubs me the wrong way. I personally hate the whole trend of pro skaters being models on the side. Seems whack but I'm aware that I love to be judgmental.

I think it's great that Beatrice is potentially going pro but I also don't care either way. She's not really on my radar and that's okay. I don't follow the FA team nor does the brand really attract me, so it's whatever.

I can't really comment on the social/cultural magnitude of Beatrice potentially becoming pro - I am a woman, but I'm white so my privilege affords some bias. I assume and hope that there are younger black skaters that are STOKED on this news. That is a win no matter the circumstances. Giving the BIPOC women skate scene more representation, more visibility, is absolutely a net positive for the community.

As an aside - there are a few women skaters that I am anxiously awaiting becoming pro for their board sponsors: Nicole Hause, Andrea Benitez, Jenn Soto, Candy Jacobs to name a few.

More women pros pls. I want to buy their boards lmao

Sloboh I was trying think of her as someone more deserving than Beatrice. Does she not have Insta? All the tags meow puts on don’t lead anywhere. Also sheena (some one posted her killing a diy and has style) both more deserving and people of color.

Adrianne has insta - @adrianne.sloboh but she doesn't post that frequently. She fuckin rips though and she makes it look effortless. Bummed she's skating for Cariuma but she's way too fun to watch for it to bother me.

Never heard of Sheena, where can I find them?

Another woman here. Agree with you 100%. So many other female rippers who deserve more but not gonna hate. Good for her I guess. Not stoked on her skating much, I keep wanting to say go faster when I watch clips. As long as she doesn’t boardslide like Taylor Silverman.

it kinda blows my mind that jenn soto still isn't pro. she's pretty sick. maybe because she hasn't been totally killing it in contests, but also hasn't really put out a ton of street footage? idk, but i like watching her skate.

as for beatrice, i think she basically sucks, but since when has that ever mattered? i guess everyone who's mad about her potentially going pro must be new to skateboarding? y'all have a lot to learn. it's never been about "skill," as if that's something that can be objectively measured

I hope she drops a sick part with this pro board and shuts everyone up. even if its filled with tons of 50-50 fs shoves

she is out there promoting skateboarding , trying to live the life of a skateboarder, and there was people in her life who saw that and choose to help push her forward. Who cares if her skill level isn't up the degree that people's standards have been conditioned too, if people want her around , to be skating at the session, trying her best, trying to learn new shit and to become a better skateboarder, that to me , seems like its the way it should be.

You just described Lil Wayne brief presence in skating.


Anyway, looking into Beatrice more, was surprised that she’s 27 (assumed she was 20 max) and thought it was pretty cool to learn she a part of the growing list of skaters with college diplomas.

I bring up her race because, in America, Black women are one of the most discriminated against groups of people (as I understand it, just a couple spots less-discriminated against than disabled lesbian/queer/trans Black women).

So when a Black woman finds success in her chosen field in this country, it makes sense to celebrate it rather than discount it.

Especially when, by all accounts, said Black woman seems to be genuine, loyal and a positive force in the community.

Are you a part of the community that she is?

[Dwyck]

I dont understand. Why would fa make a different black woman pro before Beatrice. She's been on for 7 years. People would buy her board. Don't understand why other people being better has to do with anything. It's a board company that sells skateboards.

lil Wayne had a giant career and following before he started putting out skate stuff. Beatrice was an unknown person. Kind of different having someone unknown hanging skating on the sesh then one of the biggest rappers in the world

[Johnny $witchblade]

she just doesn’t skate well

everything she does is slow and clunky.
and like everyone here has said, she hasn’t progressed at all.

there’s no other issues here - that’s it. she skates bad

No man. You just want her to starve cause you're racist.

[GuessAgain?]

He's my 2 cents, not that it matters.

To be honest i'd respect Dill a whole lot more if he had the balls to turn her pro back in 2016 when she had the same level of skill... not 6/7 years later now she's amassed herself 80k followers and he can comfortably make more than enough profit on boards with her name on.

I'm not as big a fan of her skating nowadays, but credit where it's due. She took the leap to not get a boring ass normal job and makes enough money being herself and having fun. Turning pro for FA wasn't her thought, she just said yes, like a lot of us would. Same with the Vans shoes I'd guess too.

Exploitative from FA? Yeah I guess so, but you could make that argument for a lot of the skate industry.

Anyway I remember being stoked when she dropped this footage, I just wish she'd taken her stuff to the next level. ah well:

You just described what an influencer is sponsored to do.

[Coastal Fever]

Whoa, she was actually ripping in this.  So I guess the next question is.. has anyone else turned pro 5 years after their peak, when their skating has objectively and significantly degraded?  Of course, I’ll eat my words if she drops something near this level.

Want a pillow for that dream? The truth is she isn’t very good at all and I find it hard to believe that anyone on here actually enjoys her footage let alone would ever watch a part of hers more than once.

Maybe it's just me but I feel like Beatrice's clips were better during her Huf days? I honestly feel like her bag of tricks has regressed over the past 6ish years. Hope she goes pro though, it can really only be a good thing for skating. Many people far less deserving than her have gotten their name on a board.

Marissa Dal Santo - strange world

Rayssa Leal - no formal part to note

Samaria Brevard - can’t remember a part

Can’t leave out Lizzie Armanto  - I forget the name of the thrasher part she came out with.

Those are only 4 , I like a lot of the ladies out there. Impressive skating is impressive skating. Can’t wait for Rayssa to film a full street part. Let’s just all be honest as to what’s impressive and what’s not.
