Travel through skateboarding

Oregon Trifecta
Florida Bowlriders
And now being feminine and realizing oh my gosh mother earth I am a part of you
Whats all this hoopla around the remembrance of things
And now where in the Olympics, thats a level
You’re like putting yourself on Forbes status if you make it
and thats putting a if around
that discourages little girls from feeling like they can believe in themselves to actually get there

Neal Hendrix

“I hear Neal Hendrix on the microphone and he’s just like awe Duane Peters out there”
and you know what I did, I turned around in the middle of the arena on stage in the middle of my field same as him my peer right now
He calls me Duane Peters? The female Duane Peters I mean no disrespect to Duane Peters but we all know if you skateboard he’s a gnarly guy just because I have tattoos so you’re judging the outer cover of a book and putting that out there on a mic? No wonder nobody want to listen to you. No wonder I turned down the volume and turn up my music and cheer on my boys when there riding and Im not there and its out of Country because my email got hacked. and I could have been there but I wasn’t I was there in spirit watching all of them because I know them regulating mounting up for skateboarding in the name of Christ
The same way Christian Hosoi has same way Lonnie Hirimoto has, that same way that Jay Adams did, the same way Dave Hackett you know there’s all of the legends in our forefathers of skateboarding have gone a certain direction and way and the most successful ones are believers of Christ. That is a common factor and when you look at the average of success in skateboarding without the Olympics.

The differences between male and female skateboarders

the dude are so cool, its just good vibes you don’t have to be worried what you say nobody’s going to be phased
Especially with the younger girls I mean older girls are women they know how to handle themselves younger girls are delicate flowers and as gnarly as they are because the of the thorns the they’ve had put on them as their armor their still beautiful flowers you know or theres protection there needs to be because there are predators out there on the mics and looking through the lens or you know you’ve had to see it you could shoot e’m for yourself with your camera be like ah ha candid check out this look of the moment.
There this whole weird thing in girls skateboarding of like cookie cutter everybody dress in boys clothes
You want these dude s that you don’t trust eyeballing you up? nice race car pants are you way to young for that is your mother thinking about the preditors that she allowing in her daughters life or is she thinking more about the money, the image, the fame, the name, the pleasing so and so little birds says this little birds says that. Get your own freaking originality for once. I
Im sorry but what I’ve been seeing on some of the lives of my girls.
