In recent years, women's skateboarding has been on the rise, with more and more female skaters pushing the limits of what's possible on a board. Rayssa Leal, Keet Oldenbeuving, Aori Nishimura, Poe Pinson, and Chloe Covell are just a few of the young women who have been making waves in skateboarding.

Despite facing gender barriers in a male-dominated sport, these talented skaters have persevered and become role models for girls around the globe. But who inspired these young women to pick up a skateboard in the first place?

For Rayssa Leal, a viral video of Tony Hawk's famous 900 sparked her interest in skateboarding. Keet Oldenbeuving credits her older brother for introducing her to the sport, while Aori Nishimura was inspired by her father, a skateboarder.

This newfound attention and recognition for women's skateboarding are long overdue. For years, female skaters have been fighting for equal treatment and recognition in a sport that men have traditionally dominated.
