• Question: I'm an African Muslim girl and I really want to start skating but its so hard finding help when I dont look anything like a skater! Every skate shop I walk into is too intimidating. What're are some good tips for buying boards, the right shoes etc? - Anonymous
  • Answer:

    Just go for it. Usually*, people who work at skateshops are cool so I’m sure they’ll understand if you’re just starting out skating. You might wanna start with some cheap shoes tho, nothing too high tech. Just a basic skate shoe, doesn’t matter what brand. And for board size, its really trial-and-error because everyone likes different feels.

    *emphasis on usually because sometimes people who work at shops can be dicks to new skaters.
