From the underground to the big stage, the sport of skateboarding has been on a gnarly ride over the past 60 years or so. The misunderstood counterculture back in the day, where skateboarding was like the punk rock of sports. It wasn’t just about tricks; it was a middle finger to the establishment and parents side-eyeing it, thinking, “Why can’t Timmy play a nice game of cricket like a proper lad?” But Timmy was busy kickflipping over societal norms.

Timmy wasn’t the only one dropping off park benches; little Patti graced the scene, effortlessly weaving through downhill obstacles, spinning more tricks than a magician's hat. Since the psychedelic 60’s, the skateboarding scene used to be a total sausage fest—like a testosterone-fuelled mosh pit on wheels. But even from the early days, badass women skaters have made significant strides by fearlessly taking to the skateparks and streets, showing the world that skateboarding is not just a sport for boys but a platform for self-expression and empowerment for all genders.

Now, female skaters aren’t just riding; they’re shaking things up across the board, body-slamming it with passion and accomplishing feats that others merely dream of.
