What was GRO meant to you? GRO made me come to Bloomington, Ind.
What has being an action sports athlete meant in your life? It has given me somewhere I fit in. It has shown me the world. Let me meet people of all races, religions, social status’. It has let me be myself.
What inspired you to learn to ride? My boredom with society’s standard of what a girl should be.
What was your biggest fear and how did you get over it?
My biggest fear was speed, and I got over it by realizing I could take little baby steps.
What would you tell another girl who is interested in learning to ride? Do it because you have nothing to lose! Life is too short to regret anything.
What has riding taught you? To be outgoing, confident, determined, and strong.
What would you like to share? Without skateboarding I don’t know where I’d be. It was the one thing that nobody could take away from me. Sometimes it is the only activity that will make me happy. After you have a great skate session, you are guaranteed a perfect day.
Love,
Syd
