karl's definitions
one who rides a skateboard and has fun doing it. skaters can be any kind of person; punk, prep, jock, criminal, nerd... whatever. skateboarding has room for all kinds of people, and most of us won't discriminate based on anything but your love for skateboarding.
however, since skateboarding has recently rocketed in popularity, it has now become 'cool'. so now, you have to deal with those who are only doing it to be 'cool'. these people are not really skateboarders.
if you are the other kind of skater (the for real one, and you know who you are) i have some words of wisdom for you. when you get kicked out of a skatespot, don't mouth off to the cops no matter how much of an idiot they really are. if skaters want to get accepted in todays world (which seems impossible right now) then we need to act like civilized people. if thats how we act, that's how we'll be treated, which means less getting kicked out of skate spots and more riding of the skateboard.

skateboarders are usually non-competative people, because competition in skateboarding is fairly low-key; its not really taken seriously. ESPN tried to make it into some dramatic rivalry between the top skaters when in fact they are all friends just goofing around. there's no hating.

Get the skateboarder mug.beauty has several definitions, but mine is a bit more large-scale than most: just look around you: babies forming in wombs, injuries healing, lifeforms reproducing, brains working, bodies moving, etc. all have been made to be recognized and glorified, but ultimately, to point toward a Designer.
the universe is so beautiful, it makes one wonder; 'has this all come from nothing? has all of this just materialized into existance? or is there a Creator who designed it? those who are willing to find are willing to seek.

Get the shomit mug.skateboard slang - when the skateboard hits you in the shin... usually not a big deal but hurts like you-know-what for a few minutes. imagine if someone just walked up to you and whacked your shin with the edge of a skateboard... it ain't fun, and it leaves a big purple mark on your leg. after 4 or so years of skating your legs should look like cobblestones, but its all good cause now you are a good skater.
