What is the girls skate scene like in the Netherlands? It used to suck. I must say in the last few year it's growing and gettin way better. Now that there's more exposure for girls around the world the scene in the Netherlands is also up and coming. What do you think about the girls skate scene in Europe? Same as the last answer. There's a generation gap from about 6 or 7 years but now it's coming. What do you think can be done to improve or enlarge the girls skate scene? I think it helps to have rolemodels. They should give girls more exposure and make it more accesible for girls in that way. Also when there are girls in a commercial they show models carrying a skateboard, it would help if they show real skaters.
