Someone that skateboards and loves it. Someone who only skates in front of people to get attention is not a skater. Skateboarders are not a stereotype. Not all skaters do drugs, not all of them are jerks, it depends on the person. If you run into a skater asshole, they'd be an asshole even if they weren't a skater, so don't group them all into one category. Not all skaters wear skinny jeans, not all of them listen to rock, not all of them wear big ass shoes, it's their own style. Skateboarding is not only for white people, yes there are skaters in Mexico. Yes there are skaters in China. And yes, there are skaters in India. So if a black kid skates, he's not necessarily white washed. Yes there are female skateboarders, not all of them are dikes or lesbos, again, that's just them. They'd be a lesbian or dike anyway if they didn't skate. And yes, there are girly skaters. It doesn't matter if you're good or bad, just as long as you love what you get out of skateboarding. Obviously, you'll get more credit if you're good, but that's just how the world works. Just to say it again, skaters are not a stereo type, it's not a fad. Skateboarding is a kind of life. It's different from other lifestyles, but not one skaters life is exactly the same as another. All skaters are different, so don't judge till you know them as a person

fun loving people who love what they do, just like anyone else that enjoys playing football, smoking, playing musical instruments. most skaters don't pass on judgements on people that are different. exept for townies (see definition on this website) sk8er haters) they started it.

A Skater is somebody who rides a skateboard for a hobby. They dont have to be good to be a skater, they just have to skate. Skaters should be their own individual self and not like many poeple that just carry their boards and wear slipknot hoodies and burny 2 liners etc just to fit in and get this "skater image".

"skater" or "skateboarder"
A person who is foot mounted on a board of some type with zero-four wheels. Usually without any motor. (Manually propelled vehicle.) Skateboarders usually do not have a single fashion, and their clothing style is borrowed from other sub-cultures. (i.e. Punk-Skaters, Prep-Skaters, Homie-Skaters, etc.) Skateboarding has been derived from the "surfer", "stoner," "metal-head" and "punk" sub-cultures. (Actually, Skateboarding was born through the surfing sub-culture. When the surfers couldn't surf, they created the first skateboards which consisted of a couple 2x4's nailed together, a milk crate and some clay wheels. Later the milk crate was removed, the 2x4's were replaced by maple wood glued together in "plys" and the wheels were improved. The original term for skateboarding was "sidewalk surfing.") Sadly some ignorant people still affiliate skaters with stoners. (This is mostly because skateboarding is viewed as a counter-culture by Society.) Skaters are typically athletic and usually do not use drugs.
The term is actually difficult to define due to the fact of the large diversity in the sub-culture. Basically anybody who uses any type of skateboard for any reason. (yes posers exist, but they exist for every sub-culture, I'm sure that there are "Thug" posers also.) Skateboarders do not listen to one specific type of music. No strict fashion exists except for the people who try to look dedicated/sponsered, or are actually sponsered by wearing name-brand skateboarding clothing (such as a company's t-shirt, hat, or shoes.) Any person can be a skater: african, asian, european, mexican, female, male, elderly, youngsters, poor, rich, etc.
Skateboarders are people who participate in a sport/art, not a fashion trend.

To find some skaters: grab a skateboarding magazine, or a skateboarding movie, or hell, even go to your local skatepark or skateshop. You will quickly gather how diverse this sub-culture is, and hopefully create your own opionion/definition of them.
