A
skater is someone who knows how to ride a skateboard around. They
don’t have to know how to do any tricks to be a
skater, it can just simply be their hobby. Though most beginner skaters are the ones who do not know many tricks, there are also long-time skaters that just like to cruise around rather than trickskate. How many tricks they know does not determine how much time they have skated. For example, many skaters take breaks from the hobby to focus on other things. Skaters may wear shoes such as Vans, DCs, Nike, Adidas, etc. You
don’t have to wear a certain shoe to be a
skater, although skate shoes are made for the hobby and may work better for you. Poser Skaters are people who tend to make fun of beginners, and skate only just to become
popular or look cool. Whether they’re good or bad skaters, they are still a poser. That is what posers do, pose for attention. You may see posers wearing Thrasher or Vans. A lot of real skaters wear both of those too, there is no way to determine a poser
skater just by what they wear.
