SKATEBOARDING FOR EVERYBODY
The famous “Don’t Do It” campaign challenged corporate overlords dipping a toe into the skateboard footwear market, and although they may be doing a full-on backstroke these days, CONSOLIDATED made a strong stand and influenced many a skater to stay pure, poor and to keep it hella legit!
Arays Domech had her crew name all picked out and knew there was a need for an organization in South Florida to give girls and LGBTQIA+ folks a safe place to skate. Still, it wasn’t until a broken wrist kept her off her board that she had the free time to put the pieces together and Skate Nymphs was born.
Friends, family and rippers all gathered at Stoner Park Plaza in Los Angeles on Sunday March 6 in support of DC Shoes’ first annual women’s skate contest. A couple days before International Women’s Day, about 15 femme skateboarders shredded three different segments in the jam with big smiles and contagious laughter.

I’ve had an amazing journey skating and I wouldn’t change finding it for anything. It’s taken me all over the country, first with Girls Riders Organization then the many contests World Cup Skateboarding and Exposure do, and traveling just to skate with friends. I love meeting new skater girls and encouraging them. I hope to stay a positive influence on the young ones, and an inspiration for all.
Popular Ladies Night skate gatherings have established the Crete Creeper’s presence in Reno and South Lake Tahoe since 2018. And when a founding member moved 2,000 miles away to Jamestown, NY last year the momentum didn’t die out- it just got… creepier.
“The adaptive competition was my favorite part, watching those competitors was amazing. I can’t believe the slams they were taking and how far they were pushing it! They were totally ripping! I’m a huge fan now, I followed them all on Instagram.” -Amy Caron, Announcer
