About usThere are so many reasons I wanted to start this website! On sunny days here in the Northwest of the USA, you can find me on my skateboard, cruising around while my sons play at our local parks. The look of shock and excitement on little girls faces when they see me on my skateboard is always followed up by a resounding, "You are skateboarding?!! Can I do it too?" As someone who grew up in a generation that loved skateboarding, I feel it's time to bring the joy of skateboarding to more girls! With skills like balance, coordination, rhythm, endurance, flexibility, creativity and agility to be learned, it's easy to see why skateboarding is so satisfying for all ages.
After my boys get done with school each day, I ride my skateboard to meet them, and they each take turns practicing riding it back home. Watching them cruise with great balance and confidence in their own feet is certainly rewarding and inspiring for me. On the days I struggle in pain, I look to moments past on my skateboard, and day dream of coming pain free days ahead. As a mother who has had health challenges her whole life, anytime I can get up on a skateboard and cruise is a small boast to my morale but a huge victory for our whole family. Many parents may understand the stress and sadness felt when we can't join our children in their fun play times. So this website is to celebrate the strengths in each of us as individuals, in addition to celebrating our roles as parents. Just keep cruising! Angela |
