"Gnarly in Pink": The Girl Skateboarding Posse | Op-Docs / thenewyorktimes
I'm a girl and I skateboard and it's really hard to find other girl to skate with and to go to a skate park with
i always skateboard with my cousins
Hi I'm a guy skater and I skate with my girlfriend maybe you and her could skate
Ethan Bradshaw do u guys do tricks??? Lol, just wonderin
+M3RK SHINIGAMI yes we do kick flips bs180 and more...
Really??? Luckyyy, idk how to do any tricks, but I'm workin on an ollie right now
Girls being badass. One of my favorite things.
Knowing that some parents are encouraging young girls to skateboard makes me happier than you could know. I wanted to skate so bad at that age, but my parents wouldn't let me. My Mom has apologized, but I love her either way. When I was 13 or 14 I got to use my cousins skateboard, and then I got my own when I was almost 15. I was never very good, but I just kept skating. I had some gaps where I didn't skate, and now I'm almost 23 and starting again. It's definitely tougher than when I was a kid, but I just always have to have a skateboard with me. Once you touch a board you never let it go.
+James Lomax Rude
I was four when I started skating and it's been five years since. But at least you got to start skating
I am 14 years old (15 in November) and today I bought my new skateboard. My mom didn't let me, but who cares - I had fish skateboard and I don't like it, I wanna start with tricks. Wish me luck ;)
uchiki You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You sound awesome. You go for it!
This had me smiling from start to finish. They're just adorable. Hope they still skate when puberty hits
Putthatinur Pipe I hope that too. Puberty would be the hardest time to get through that: Low self esteem, people telling that girls can't skateboard.
Luckily, where I live they don't care if skaters are boys or girls. There are more male skaters, but it doesn't really matter to me. Not many people skate where I live, mostly longboarders just cruising on the roads.
iClaimThisName you are right
Come on
Putthatinur Pipe I agree

I've been trying to learn how to skate.. But I don't wanna go to a skatepark, because I think I'll look just like the stereotype. I'm a girl who can't skate. And it's really hard to learn in my driveway. :/ I just wanna learn! Just to be able to roll down the sidewalk..
+TicTACtoe I love seeing girls at the park. Just go. No one cares if you're not great. And you'll be better by the end of your first day if you try. Go for it.
+TicTACtoe I've been skating for about 7 months or so now and I felt the exact same way when I started. At the end of last winter I would go when it was too cold for anyone to want to be out and over this past summer I would go to the park when it was too hot for anyone to be out. I got really comfortable really quick. And if you're respectful (i.e not letting your board fly around and waiting your turn) and you learn the basics or least are comfortable on your board most guys will be more than happy to teach you new things and you'll be shredding in no time. It's also about doing it every single day sounds lame but repetition will pay off. I don't normal comment on youtube vids but we need more girls out there :D Hope this was helpful, sorry it was long.
Victoria Mickens Thank you! =)
+TicTACtoe don't worry. Girls at skateparks get more respect than boys a skateparks. Also, I'm not great at it either, and when I go to the skatepark, I get made fun of too, and I'm a boy, so it doesn't really matter that you're a girl
same me too
The Asian little girl seems so chill 😂 it's cute
wow racist...
+Directioner Power She is super cute and has great style. It is not racist. My kids are Asian it is OKAY say someones race.
CyclaireNightcores it's not racist lol. being racist means to be discriminating towards another race.
You and I have different definitions of chill, but I like her too.
TunaFish how is that racist /:
Skateboarding is in no way, shape, or form, an "unusual" passion. Skateboarding is a perfectly legitimate passion! Every skater on planet earth knows this, from California to Afghanistan to Ethiopia. That's why the Olympics added skateboarding to the 2020 lineup. Don't fret, girls, you're awesome!

I am trying not to laugh
I LOVE THE LITTLE ASIAN GIRL
SAMEEEEEEE
Meee tooo
Bella
TheCast she is a whole mood
TheCast IKR
Even I have to deal with stuff like this as an adult sponsored skater. "Omg, don't tell me even SHE can drop in" "the girl did it, so now I have to" "hey, is he teaching you how to skate?" - quotes from guys who had never seen me before. All happened in the last two months.
*when you're like 5 years older than them and you can barely skate forward*
6:14 just made me want to scream *HOLY MOLY, if I did that I'd probably hurt myself so bad, and they do it so gracefully. 😂*
BATKiddoAddy On Roblox same
I’m 10 years older and I’m just getting started 💀
I’m like 8 years older than them and I can’t even properly stand on a skateboard
Princess Addie girl i can barely stans one one
i barely see girls at the skatepark
+Selena Acosta what park you go to
i see some girls at the skate park, even i skate there at a skate park
im 13 and I skateboard. !
I have a good friend who I go with! We get called lesbians tho.
I know girls who rip but tend to skate privately - some dudes can be pretty terrible - not all but some of us. I have big respect for girls who can go out and not be deterred for playing a "man's sport"
I just got inspired by 6 year olds! Incredible
It was so cute seeing that first clip with the leaves lol
This screams the Ellen show
It is on the Ellen show!
+Ashleigh Behrmann it's not the Ellen show its New York Times
+Raelene Aguilera It was on ellen too!
Aww man, I skate worse than 6yr olds. But they're really adorable and I hope they keep skating
I was around five when I first skateboarded, but I stopped because my older brother became the "skater of the family." I didn't want to be that annoying sister that did everything he did. Especially the one that did everything worse. However, I've been back on for a year now, and I wish I hadn't stopped just because I felt like I couldn't skateboard better than a boy. I really hope that videos like these motivate girls to keep on trying and not feel inferior when it comes to male-dominated sports such as skateboarding.
Lacey Silver you didn't stop because he was a boy, you stopped because he was better so stop saying that "males are sexists" and "girls don't have it as good. there may be some guys that hate on girls for doing "guy things" but girls do the same to guys
Lucky me I am the only child
I'm the little sister who picked up the inline skates when my older brother transitioned to skateboarding. I just got my own pair 2 weeks ago. My first ever pair! And these fit! And this is coming from a twenty something coming back after a 15+year break. If you like something, don't let anything stop you. Skate with the kids, who are better than you, who are bouncier than you and push harder than you. Skate with the adults who are starting out again, or perhaps for the first time. Skate with those people who've been skating for a while. Go on and skate!
@@adrianacastaneda4834 sameee 😎
love love love this documentary. I was a huge tomboy growing up and loved to skate. I was actually the only girl in my little town that did skate. Now, I have a little girl of my own so we'll see if the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
Lol wtf 5:20 hahahaha

I've been skating since I was 7. used to go to the skatepark all the time but now im too scared people will judge me. I only skate in my driveway now and its not enough. idk if I should go or not
They're all 11-12 now. 2019, hope they still skate.
2021!
not to be mean or anything, but I laughed so hard when the little girl fell😂
Same
Adrian Aguilar I don't get how that was meant to be funny! it's just someone falling over
im so mean
Adrian Aguilar we are both terrible people
Ya I died laughing
4:38 they see me Rollin' they hatin
simplynatalia that is pretty gay pls stop
How is it gay
I want to akateboard but i thought people would think im weird because im a girl, and because of this vid im going to get a skateboard.😁💅i love the nail polish part
That's great! As an experienced skater I would recommend Spencer Nuzzi's how to skateboard on the ride channel he covers everything from how to pick your wheels board etc. to detailed tutorials on tricks and more.
I can tell you something just because you are a girl does not mean you can't do something boys can.
OMG stfu
No
yes
soo... my heart just melted.I want my kids to skate boy and girls
5:22 me when I try to skate
Hahaha lol 😂
Hehe
Same 😞
LoL
Emily Is Loves
That was cute. And they're good for little girls. Skating takes a lot of practice. Its hard. I've fallen many times, slid across the road, bruised my legs all up. I mean it just comes with it. I always try to learn something new on it. And I love doing it, I'm also female. And i constantly deal with douches that feel the need to doubt me but then I prove them wrong. :)
I agree :)
Bre Harger yesss
I don’t think they doubt u cause you are female I’ve been skating for all my life and skateboarders are just mean to everyone
5:19 that killed the mood real quick
5:19 *me trying to impress my crush*
💀
Boys and girls are equal
true

Same
lylac lill They killed the music right when that happened. They wanted us to laugh! hehe

+lylac lill I did too! I'm so mean...
I want to learn, but there are no skate parks around where I live :(
Street
+Alicia Armstrong I skate at my old school and the street isn't that good unless you're on the concrete
were do u live because if u live in miami florida theres this place claed founders park and i live near there and its in aventura i could teach
Do u live in Aberdeenshire cause that has pretty good areas to skate and there are skate parks
Keith is an emo salty boy same
I know a similar feeling of being told you can't do something. I played boys hockey until I turned 15. Every day you have to go out there and prove yourself. They all respected me by the end of the season. Loved it. Made so many great friends
So I played this for my daughter every night for about a month when she was 3. She is 6 now and loves her skateboard! Tonight was the first time I played this for her little sister. 😁
This just proves that girls are equally as good at things as boys! Girls can do anything!! #girlpower💁🏼🎀
.
+CaidenGamesHD / Cqidxn Your mother gave birth to you, she's female. Stop being sexist, 9 year old kid.
CaidenGamesHD / Cqidxn There's something called google, go search the definition.
+Freckled Freddi well sure, but boys and girls are different. like, I know you are just saying this because you are probably a girl, but if girls work at something, of corse they can, and honestly, nobody has ever said that girls can't skate...
Boys can do anything possible
Girls can do anything possible
I just don't get it why there's more shirts that say like " Whatever boys can do, girls do it better.
And most people say "Girl power" more than saying stuff like "Boy power!"
Everyone is equal...
Is it just cause girls are jealous?
There's like this stuff "Never hit a girl" "Open doors for women & elderly" "Ladies first"
And like on the Titanic only kids under 13 & women can go on a lifeboat. I know why, because women have babys... But, boys make resources to make babys...
And on cartoons boys get hurt more than girls...
It's just weird...
The unicorn can ride a skate board better than me 😔✋🏻
5:01 when she looks like a little Ashton Irwin (5SOS IS LIFEEEEE😂)
I'll never look at that shot again
+Sophia Soliz lol you don't like them do ya😂
+ella I hope you know making fun of 5SOS is the fam's hobbies and that was hilarious. 😂😂
+Lizzy Caroline i know lmao i used to like them like 3 months ago
+ella why did you stop there lifeeee
Lol😂😂
Awesome video. 10yrs later, I hope these young ladies are still having as much fun.
"🐝AGH A BEE BEE BEE STAY STILL🐝" lol "SKATE OFF" wise choice girl wise choice, lol you gales are just so cute, and believe you can... and never give up even through the toughest times!
Does anyone know the song at 4:35 ? Cant find it anywhere... :(
I freakin love skateboarding this was represented and done so well literally the little girl saying she wanted to be a pro is me
This was really inspiring for my 4 year old daughter. Thanks
I love this so much. they are adorable.
This video blew my mind. The filming, the editing, the sound, like it was all brilliant and hilarious! How did they get the sound to work like that? I need answers. So good!
5:22 me running away when I was 10 because my mum didn’t give me dessert
I don't know why this is so special. Any girl could skate , no one said they can't.
not a whole lot of skating going on this
The meninists coming in swinging
Chelsea Baker Um, that isn’t a thing...
Chelsea Baker all we're talking about I'd the girl falling and whering a pink skirt
The femibitch coming in swinging
It was pretty funny when the unicorn was on the skateboard!🤣❤️
I'm a skater, not really a fan of skateboards. It's hard to find any girls in the skating rink because they want to be perfect and don't want to hurt themself. When I got my first roller blades I was so excited. Then I got a skateboard. I wasn't really happy. But when I first started shredding in the skate park. I felt like I was born to do that. So I was proud of this video, and it partially made me cry. -Piano Jaz
2:58 YESS THAT IS MY KINDA MUSIC!!!!!
Hey does anyone know the song that is playing from 4:34-5:32?
So I saw this video 2 years ago and I got so inspired by them that at Christmas I asked for a skateboard...When I got it i was so happy and I started to learn to skate...since moving to apartment I haven’t had time or been motivated to skate again, but I’ll learn again one day 🤷♀️
This is so cute tho honestly whoever filmed this is so good also this makes me wanna teach my kid when I'm older to skate as I skate myself
These girls are cool, because they're being them selves.
So skating. Much cute. Btw: does anyone know what's the song being played at around 3:37 when the pink pony is on the skateboard?
The only bit I like is we're the girl fell of the scatebord and cried hahaha
plssssssss keep skating all of u. u have a crazy talent at that age. girls can do what ever guys can do, only if u believe u can. i see a awesome future 4 u guys.
That girls mom made me a bit mad, you dont have to prove yourself, I mean where thes fun in that? Just skate cuz you love it
i asked my parents for a skateboard for my 11th birthday and they told me to be more girly
Is it okey for a hardcore dude to like cute stuff
Jalei Oneal What... That's so unfair. So just because at a 50% chance of being a boy and being a girl, you became a girl, means that you have to do 'girly' stuff? I'm a girl and I'm not into nail polish and pink stuff etc. I love unicorns and rainbows, but that's pretty much it. I like longboarding, skateboarding, rock, gaming. :P
your parents are dumb because there is nothing boyish about a skateboard
Jalei Oneal Tell your parents that skating requires grace and you need to make turns and twirl and all that so it requires skill. Isn't something girly something that requires grace? Also, I'm sorry they won't let you have one
Jalei Oneal my mom is the same way my dad got me one when I was 12 and mom got rid of it I just got myself a new one for my 19th bday
i love love love this!! teaching little kids (boys AND girls) at an early age that femininity and toughness (or ability in sports, strength etc) are not mutually exclusive!! little girls can be little girls and enjoy themselves in any space, even in spaces in that are conventionally thought of as masculine spaces.
why did 2 thousand people not like this?
This video doesn't even know what it's trying to be. It's saying that girls and boys can do whatever they want and be who they want, but then it's taking time to show girls doing "girly" things like nail painting, and wearing dresses and wigs, liking hearts, castles, pink, and unicorn while boys are shown being rough and "guy like". So it's saying that girls can do "guy sports" and do it just as well but they still have to follow all the other stereotypes?? It doesn't make sense. People should be able to be whoever they are without them stated as being different. It should just be them.
No, dude, it's saying you don't have to choose. You can paint your nails and have tea parties on Monday then shred in the park on Tuesday. I think that philosophy can/should apply to boys and girls, man.
+Chris Martinez Agree
or maybe, just maybe, those girls enjoy doing all of them - -? The video start with girls doing nails (stereotype), and the next shot they are in a skatepark (breaking the stereotype, which was the whole point of the video). Skateboarding girls are usually seen as Tomboy (stereotype), just like some of the comments mentioned here. For their outfits in the skatepark scenes , they are in dressed in a more 'girly' way (again, breaking the stereotype). For the scenes at home, you can tell that those girls wore whatever they like. And for those boys being rough and 'guy like' as you said, I think that's just how they act natural (think about it, when you were small, most boys pretty much act the same as them). From the opening of this video, you can tell that the director has more than the observable images to say as he/she instructed those girls to paint nails in the middle of the park (a planned shots rather than a random shot), so stop reading it so shallow and add your own twisted misunderstanding
what about the song 4:43 please? need to know :D
i dont know the name of this particular remix but the original is definitely "todd terje - inspector norse"
found it. its "AØ - Gnarly in Pink". you can look it up on soundcloud
I don't get why people dislike videos that aren't even worth disliking because they have nothing to dislike
I love seeing young girls who show that they can do anything they want to!
Ok course girls can skate just as mens. Question is "why do we think they can't?".
I'm not sure why they have to wear all the pink princess stuff though ? to remember they are exceptional and should only be princesses ? Don't think it's the more comfortable outfit to skate.
Discrimination will be over only when it will not be surprising or special to see girls do the stuff boys do (or boys do what girls do). Then you'll see more girls at X-Games :-)
Cute video anyway.
chief wiggums
Why does not wanting to dress in pink and sparkles automatically make you a "bulldyke"? When I was their age my favorite color was black.
Have you forgotten what it is to be a kid? They can wear whatever their creative, little, innocent minds want to wear. Let em be kids.
chocolate milk makes it better
I showed this video to my 4 yr old daughter! She's so READY to skate
The girl when she fell and just ran away crying 😂😂
5:19 You're welcome
Why
Haha
TMBRises Rekt XD
Lol
TMBRises *OOF*
"Pink helmet posse" ... Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this title?
I don't. These particular little girls obviously love pink! If the idea were created by someone who didn't know the girls involved, I would see something wrong with it, but since this title was created by the girls and/or their parents, I think it's fine because it suits this particular group of girls perfectly.
Char Bear Giving a little girl's skateboarding group a name that is downright obvious sexual innuendo isn't good... If it's a genuine mistake, fine, but they should still change it... I mean come on 'Pink helmet posse'? Seriously?!
Aah, i didnt see a sexual innuendo there...so it was probably a genuine mistake.
Char Bear Yeah you're probably right, I still think it would be a good idea to change it though.
Ok, I'm confused. I'm pretty good with slang, but not sure how this is a sexual innuendo. A posse is slang for a group of friends that hang together. The closest I can come is the "pink helmet" thing, but comparing that to a male's member is really stretching it (plus is not in context enough since it is a girls group). I've been known to have a "gutter" mind at times, but this one really doesn't click as an innuendo with me. Or maybe I'm missing something?
Really really good documentary. It's great how the filmmakers caught all these special moments on camera and put them together in that great narration style. And these girls are awesome.
“Skate off guys!!” Such a cool thing to say
Girls rule and I'm a boy son
Wish they toned down the costume crap and did more skating
chief wiggums preach it!
+chief wiggums what he meant is that skate don't show off
Real mature
The last 7 views were me 😂😂
Even as a toddler I wanted to skateboard. My mama bought me my first ever skateboard at 2-3 years old and it was tiny but it was perfect for me. I was never good at it lol my dad didn’t like me playing with it. When I got a little older a had a normal size skateboard and I tried to get my uncle to teach me how to. I never did tricks and there wasn’t a skatepark near me growing up so I only learned how to cruise around and do kick flips. When I ended up living with my grandparents my grandma took my skateboard and hid it away from me. I could never find it and I didn’t have enough money to buy a new one. Years later I found it and it was rotten through by humidity. Even now I at least have a penny board to cruise when I want to but I’ll never get the years I lost back. I hope to get a new board and learn how to do it properly one day. I’m 21 rn I don’t think it’s to late 😅
They seriously need to change the name of that group to something else.
I don't ride skateboards but I ride roller skates instead, they are really fun but I still like skateboards. What I can't stand are scooter kids
I am a boy just on my sisters account
I also CANT stand "Scooter Kids"!
+Girlgamer225 - Everything yess scooter kids think their cool but they just ride scooters I have been rideing scooters sense I could walk
+BeccaSlays, I ride scooters but stay about of the way and let the other people go before me. I also get annoyed about other little scooter kids
The only reason that skaters hate on scooter kids are younger and don't know as much, or they are less immature but I personally think that scooters are fun if you get the pro ones.
It is awesome to see how skating effects lives this much and girl skaters are really gnarly!!!!
this short film is straight up BOSS everything KILLED IT heart.
Makes us boys look like criminals. It's not our fault that not as many girls skate.
TBH This is why I quit skating.
? Why
ZyLoPhOnE oh
did you hear Boy Scouts allows girls now? So annoying. I mean girls can skateboard and I have nothing against it but seriously, it’s called BOY SCOUTS for a reason
I didn't quit but it so annoying when they just sit around blocking ramps and eating g lunch and standing on their board doing nuthin
a rainbow Fishy Girls should have their own scouts. Unless it's a both genders count thing.
please girls keep skating!!! That is so great!
I'm a girl and I skateboard I agree it's hard to find girls that skateboard I also want to go to the X games one day
It really pisses me off a lot when most girls these days are just doing guy stuff (skateboarding, longboarding, playing video games, etc..) mostly just to get attention. Nowadays, there are only a few of us girls out there who are actually doing these stuff to actually learn something new and not just be another stereotype to get people's (mostly guys) attention. We need more girls like this three little cuties in the skating community who would really try skating as a hobby and learn new tricks and not just stop learning once they know how to balance on the board.
Actually, guys try to make stuff like football, skateboarding and stuff like that into an all guy thing and then go give girls a hard time about it. I skateboard, I don't do it for guys attention, I just think it's fun!!!! 😑
Thank you
the reason us boys slam cuz we go fast they go slo
There also little
Nolan Gentry agreed XD
That spelling is atrocious.
Keep to yourself
Men were MADE to be stronger.Of course it’ll take a while
This is amazing😘
Have never seen any girls in a local skateparks really🙄
When the little girl said Owie I laughed SOOO HARD XD
I’m happy these girls are doing this they are very inspiring 💕💪🏽
I love this! My little girl is hot and cold with skateboarding but when she is on fire and loving skating she crushes a lot of the boys! Gnarly in pink!🤘
Annnd then there’s me, A scooter girl lmaoo
I am a girl skateboarder and I live in The Bahamas. Most kids here dont skateboard but I find it interesting. We dont have skate parks or anything do my little brother and I get any old wood and make our own ramps and stuff. I love my little brother because he doesnt tease me about being a female skateboarder like the other dudes that do skateboard.
I started skating when a group of boys saw me looking at a book about a skater and said "I bet you're gonna be terrible when you try I mean can you even skate?!"That night I went home and told my parents and the next day they came home with a skateboard but I only had 2 days before the group wanted to see me skate. I learned the basics on one day and the next morning I practiced more advanced stuff then when I was at school I had my skateboard and after school we went to the park to watch me skate. I was better than them and it blew their minds. I guess we have a similar story
nyt have been doing some amazing hiring.
the creative freedoms are paying off.
near bankruptcy turned out to be a good thing.
amazing work.
Im a almost 16 year old girl, i love skating, all types of skating, i love video games aswell *hem* dark souls, fnaf *ehem ehem* the skating i focus on is longboard and rollerblading also ice skatng, ive only just started longboard, but i can skate on it for a good amount of time, im still learning to turn and im still trying to a bit more balance but i know i can do it, i love skating so much
Also one of the reasons it feels like you're flying! Its awesome!!!
I died when she pulled out that back scratcher
Me too! thats just my life
They're awesome. I love that it ends with everyone skating away from a bee.
5:21 is the best moment of all, everything is so cool and then she just falls and I’m like 😆😆
Amazingly, sweet clip. Sad and shocking to see the boys' reaction.
Its pretty common in skating videos to show the falling at the same time as showing the tricks successfully executed. When you skate you fall down a lot and the helmets are made for it. Its pretty obvious that some of the people in the comments don't know how to skateboard.
