Back in the early 2000s in San Cristóbal, Venezuela, there was no skatepark, and I remember seeing only one girl skating in my area. She was the only one in the whole city, as far as I knew. Today, at the current skatepark, I’ve seen five girls skating. For such a small city, that feels like a lot.

This shift isn’t just visible in the streets—it’s reflected in the digital world too. The number of videos featuring girls skating is impressive. If I go by what I observe, I’d say women now make up about 20% of the global skate scene—even if that’s more intuition than hard data. 😂
