Beatrice Domond pro for FA very soon

[Banned from the room]

B should come skate with me.

I got a million ledge combos she needs to know.

Not hating just saying.

Example. Not many people know this but shuv front crooks nollie shuv is actually the easiest ledge trick in the history of.

It's just hard to grind because it all happens so fast.

Style has always mattered and thankfully not everyone subscribes to the jock mindset on display in this thread. Dill is a kook, but not because he's given spots on the FA team to Aiden Mackey or Beatrice.

Style has always mattered in skating but if you look at the most stylish skaters, they were doing difficult tricks with style. They didn't just rely on their style to get by, they had the technical ability to back it up

as opposed to traditional white skaters like Lavar, Kareem, Jeron, Brandon Turner, Keenan, Gailea, Antwuan, Harold Hunter, Ishod?

I wish every person that skates would turn pro. I love every person that I had no history with equally.
There should be enough space for all of us. Black, White, Asian, hispanic all the other thousand ethnicities, Gay, Transgender, Handicapped. I wish every individual had someone that looked like them and had someone to look up to.
Nobody should feel left off.

Why though? I'm Indian and there has never been an Indian pro skater. Does that make me any less inspired? Fuck no. I don't need to see videos of people that look like me to see feel inspired.

For me it's actually insulting. It's like saying "you need to watch people that look like you. You won't be inspire by these white dudes. Their skill and talent is beyond your comprehension. You can't understand what they're doing. You need to watch someone of your own colour to get inspiration"

I've met Tom Knox and I'm 95% sure he's not Indian. I've never heard of Nikhil Thayer. Your missing the point. I don't need to see people that look like to feel inspired. As long as they look good on the skateboard that's what inspires me. I don't care if they're white, orange or green.

Speaking to the “there has never been.”

But I absolutely agree with you on the “don’t need to see people that look like me to feel inspired.”

I’d have to see Adon from Street Fighter on a skateboard to actually see someone that looks like me.

Haha I'm with you. Soy Panday is half Indian if I remember and it seems Tom Knox has some Indian somewhere down his family tree. However I don't want to see Indian skaters pro if they're just there to fill the 'token Indian guy on a team' spot if they don't have the skill to back it up. As you can imagine that would be insulting as fuck.

I didn't mean to derail this conversation. I really have an internal battle of what it means and takes to be pro. If we are a sport then it should be the most talented skaters which Beatrice is unfortunately not. If it's an art then it should be the most inspirational skaters which Beatrice seemingly is. It's such a grey area and I can never come to a conclusion of what it actually takes to be pro. Probably half and half. Should she be pro in my opinion? No

its not a joke I swear to god. represantion is important and we are heading into the right direction.
beatrice didnt look up to Kareem or Elissa. she looked up to Dylan rieder.
I hope some white boy looks up to beatrice. or a black boy looks up to Elissa.
that would be the biggest achievement we can get

Im black and have looked up to elissa's skating since i started skating in 1997 to this day. her switch heels and TSA shirts and the adidas with the tounges up. her slams. sacking rails. toy machine. always has been and will alwasy been sick.

Mar Dal seems to be the only female skater that did any real homework and still hold the bar as the best female skater of all time. She would be flick front boarding hollywood 16 right now if she wasnt doing the tom penny 1995 thing and left the industry. sicker that she dipped honestly. Her strange world part from 2009 still is at the top by a mile and a half.

100%! One of the best thing about skating is that in my personal experience race has never been brought up while skating. I've skated since 2003 and no one's ever remarked on the colour of my skin and now I actually think about it that's actually pretty damn cool. Similarly I grew up watching white skaters and idolising them but I never once thought "oh I dont know if I should enjoy this because he's white". It sounds sooo cheesy but it's that age old saying of that "we are all just skaters. We're in it together" etc.

Also Marissa Dal Santo is fuckin amazing! Great personality and even greater skating

Only non-skaters really get confused with the lack of racism and the cultures crossing. It was similar for me being a person of color and starting to skate in the mid/late 90s, the only racially driven remarks id hear were from non skaters saying skating is for white guys or athletes saying shit like "whats up tony hawk?! haha" but as far as the skate community goes, race has never existed or who i get inspired by.

There are more non skaters involved in the game now more than ever so we got to appease to all the avenues of things (race, gender, sexual preference, etc....) rather than just tricks and style and cool songs like we used to.

I’d give Tom Green a board for making “Freddy Got Fingered” that movie was brilliant and he definitely made the skating through the mall scene in the opening just because he wanted to skate. It’s an absolutely pointless scene - he starts at home and goes to the mall to meet his parents (who he lives with) at the bus stop so they can give him a new car for his trip.

The early 90's when you look at the World Camp (which was the most influential brand during that time period), and the Girl/Chocolate teams that came out of it were pretty damn diverse. Which makes sense, a majority of those brands were city kids from diverse cities like SF and LA. Girl when launched had more skaters who were either asian, african-american or latino (Sheffy, Jeron, Gavin, Koston, Jovontae) than white skaters (Howard, Carroll, Tony Ferguson, Guy), and Chocolate was even more diverse (I think Mike York was the only white dude on the OG team). And, then World's top guys left included skaters like Daewon, Kareem, Henry Sanchez and Shiloh.

I’m so glad I started skating between Love Child and New World Order.

The World dudes were such a different and much needed vibe in skateboarding.

Pretty much everything I bought from Sub Zero was World.

I used to sit there and just stare at all the World graphics in the CSE catalogs that were never in CCS.

Alexis got a promodel for Cons and everyone here and out got hyped, but sure, with a good little part.

Thats the diference, its not about race, genre or geographic place. Its about skateboarding...

Alexis has been crushing it since PJLWHL and 100% earned everything she has. and not cuz shes a girl. its purely because she skates very well and buttery as fuck. and shes a girl! Shes a skater tho. She just comes off as a fucking skater to me. not "a girl that skates" same with mar. thats just a dope skater. thru and thru.

When Marisa part went out genre in skateboarding was not an issue, she just chocked all of us and girls were that skates  proud and influencied by her. I never heard anyone saying: she is good for a girl...nahhj she is just damn good.  The same with Monica Torres and Alexis. I remember hanging out with skategirls and nobody cared about genre issue. Socialmedia just bring to skate a shit that never was a problem. Now we see a lot girls only skating with girls, cause they heard some influencer talking about machism. This is crazy...Im not denyig that we living  in a machist society, but in skateboarding we were just all together and not caring about politics...90s skating is inclusive and nobody cared when BA and that guy from Zoo york went out of the closet.
