Skate Like a Girl (SLAG) has developed over the last twenty-plus years from a simple concept in 2000, providing workshops and events for girls, to an inclusive community, actively extending support to trans and gender non-conforming skaters by offering safe spaces and clinics. According to their About page, their vision is social equity, “promoting confidence, leadership, and social justice through skateboarding,” as well as racial justice and trans rights, and its model has been replicated worldwide.

The skateboarding ethic, Kemp says, is "an ethic of resiliency. I fall, I get up, I do it again." It's an ethic of "self-betterment. The skateboarder is always trying to do another trick. They're trying to do the trick better with more style. They're trying to do it in different places. They're comparing themselves to their past selves and not necessarily other skateboarders." And it's an ethic that isn't really concerned with competition with others. Skateboarding, he says, is a non-zero sum game. "In other words, if I do the trick, it doesn't matter that the other skateboarder didn't do the trick. I'm not in competition with them. I don't win, they lose, or I lose, they win. No, we're all winning — hopefully — compared to our previous selves."

A skateboarder presented an unusual paper at this year's big meeting of American economists.
