A skater is a person just like me and you. Skating is more than a sport, it's a passion and a way of life for some of us. I've been skating for about 8 years, and have only come across 2 "assholes." The stereotypes these days are out of control.

Skaters generally listen to all kind of rock. We enjoy doing what we do.
We enjoy:
Running from the cops
Getting kicked out of public places
Busting our balls to do a trick
Skating til the sun goes down
Chilling with friends

Skaters have real friends. People who will stick by them through thick and thin, not just people that they go out and party with. There's a few of us, but we're a close group.

a real person that loves skate-boarding and lives for it.they actually grow up doing what they want and arent posers that wear the clothes and say they can skateboard when they dont even know what trucks are or what spitfire is.
people stero-type way too much and say oh,a skater is someone with greasy hair and fucked up clothes..wrong.

the person likes to be original and does not give a fuck what the world thinks.

they are usually hilarious with an exellent sense of humor and love to make people laugh with trying crazy,narley things,stunts,and tricks.

people who say sk8r are indeed,fucking lame.

skateboarding is about being free,not giving up,feeling the wind on your face,not giving a fuck about anything else in the world,that burst of adrenaline that hits you everytime you get on a skateboard.

anyone who never has skateboarded has no clue of how great it feels to be free basically.

so think again,next time you stero-type or call yourself a real skateboarder.
skater poser:yeah,i did a kickflip today..

me:cool..so what kind of trucks do you have?

skater poser:uh..ford?

me: (just shakes head walks away.)

Someone who skates purely because they enjoy it, and do so regardless to what ever people think of it. They live for skateboarding. Skaters are not allways good at landing ticks, but the enjoyment for the sport is what makes them skater. Most commonly seen wearing jeans and a hoody, brightly coloured trainers, and donning a New Era cap (with all the stickers on of course) to tame their long hair. Allthough there is no dress code, tracksuits will lose you any status as a true skater. Skaters wear what they think looks cool, and it isn't unusual to see them wearing something completly abstract. Most listen to either punk rock or hiphop, but again there is no rule. Most skaters skate the street (though some prefer vert/ramp) and wear no protection.
Anyone who skates because they enjoy it, no matter what anyone thinks.

EXAMPLES OF PRO SKATERS:
Mike Mo
Paul Rodriguez
Justin Eldridge

the now commercialized term used to describe a guy that has long hair and wears an entire wardrobe usually from pacsun or a ccs catalog. It no longer is someone who skateboards, but has become a term that describes someones style. "skater" is a fashion.
girl 1: did you see that cutie in pacsun?
girl 2: yeah he was so skater
girl 1: his hair was so skater jeethus chritht

A skater is someone who owns a skateboard and is either learning, or trying to learn how to skate. Posers are just following the fad and are nothing to worry about, they will be over it in about a week as soon as they figure out you actually have to WORK.
Skaters are generally nice to beginners and are willing to help them get off the ground. If you see a beginner that's having trouble, remember what happened the first time YOU tried to ollie... either that or try it yourself.
A skater is dedicated and wont give up
Skaters can be either guys or girls.. yes GIRLS CAN SKATE so get over it
That's a skater
skater: don't give up, try and try again, u'll land that trick if you get up when you fall, and ignore the pain.
