Meet Aarin Gates…yeah she’s a chick, our only lady team rider. You may be asking yourself, why sponsor a girl? Blading is a man’s game, you might find yourself saying…Well, shape up and unlearn that nonsense mindgame style, ya heard…I’m talking emagdnim here, not park skating..although she’s pretty damn good on transition. Gates has got the goods, street skills..she likes slushies, she rocks xsjados, she wins rail jams. I’ll find that most of the time when we are skating in a decent sized group that most of the dudes will be chopping it up, talking about how Gates skates just like a guy, she’s got style and she skates wicked fast.. She’s got on helluva sense of humor and a mean negative game. Photo cred – Megan Peterson
