X-Wear Blog: News, Tips, and Tricks for What Inspires You

It’s no secret that women are shaking up the competitive snowboarding, surfing, and elite fitness communities. Crossfit, powerlifting, cycling...Whatever you’re doing, there’s definitely an awesome woman out there crushing it with the guys. Gender stereotypes in sports are becoming a thing of the past, and there’s no reason why any woman interested in a professional sports career should ever settle for being told she’s not good enough. (Or even those who just play for fun!) There are many organizations that are open to individuals from all walks of life, including OutRyders, Ski Bums, and more. Regardless of your gender identity or expression, everyone should feel comfortable on the slope, pavement, or turf.

Everyone knows how it feels to be the new guy. Whether you’re clutching brand new gear, or hand me downs, you’ve been there. Standing there surrounded by people who just get it. They can surf, skate, complete a WOD, or  run a 5K like it was nothing. They’re experts...But how did they get that way? Simple. They didn’t give up, they got  educated, and then they did it.
