| 6) Are there a lot of girl skaters in Brazil? What do you think should be done to encourage more girls to take up skateboarding?
Yes. But it has one 2 years behind did not have many girls. I find that the market of skateboard had to invest more in the girls, therefore being in the media, them would go to encourage itself, therefore we have potential! An example of this and what it is happen here in Brazil, a program of television ' ' Malha��o '' that it shows the girls in skateboard, this is good! (Sim. Mas h� uns 2 anos atr�s n�o tinham muitas garotas. Acho que o mercado do skateboard devia investir mais nas garotas, pois ficando na m�dia, elas iriam se encorajar, pois temos potencial! Um exemplo disto e o que est� aconte�endo aqui no Brasil, um programa de televis�o ''Malha��o'' que mostra as meninas no skateboard, isso � bom!) 7) Do you find it difficult to progress in a male domineered sport? Are you accepted as an equal or your treated different because you're a girl? Difficulty to progress, not, therefore the progress comes of each one. Sincerely, still it has much preconception, unhappily. When I arrive in the track, am looked at different, still I know that he ronowadays already nor I bind more not, old bound (Dificuldade de progredir, n�o, pois o progresso vem de cada um. Sincerament� muito preconceito, infelizmente. Quando eu chego na pista, sou olhada diferente, ainda sei que rodia j� nem ligo mais n�o, antigamente ligava). 8) Do you participate in skateboard competitions? Are they all girl contests? Yes, but old it had that to run with boys, in some championships still due to girls not happen the feminine competitions.
