Since Avril Lavigne’s classic hit “Sk8er Boy” first showed skateboarders could be desirable mates, skaters’ lovability has maxxxed out. Just carrying a skateboard today will get you thirsty looks and occasional catcalls. It seems like everyone loves skateboarders these days (or at least they think they do).
In an effort to help skateboarders capitalize on their exoticism, we decided to bring back everyone’s favorite (and only) blind dating show that pairs skaters with the non-skaters who love them. Follow along as one skater and one normie awkwardly navigate the space between true romance and reality TV. Whether you skate or don’t, you may catch a glimpse of yourself in these contestants and feel the urge to find a love of your own.
For the second episode of our new season of “Date A Sk8er,” we set up Hayley, a Chicago skater, with Chris, a manager of a cocktail bar in Manhattan, and watched them try to connect. A match made in heaven, or the date from hell? Watch to find out…
