The Core Skater

The core skater almost always skates the hardest out of anyone and is always super low key about it. What is a core skater? A core skater is somebody who skateboards and all they care about is the skating. They are the true O.G. skaters and typically don’t care too much for anything other than getting out and shredding.

It’s rare you find a core skater with over 1,000 Instagram followers - they are super low key people and not the type to post on TikTok or YouTube because they don’t care about making content about skating. They care about skateboarding and nothing other than doing it. The core skaters that I know are the best skaters by far. There’s a core skater at my local skatepark who is by far the best skater at the park. He is super low key, doesn’t go out of his way to get clips, and personally told me he would never post his clips on Instagram Reels.

I’ve encountered many other core skaters as well. One core skater I started skating with last summer who absolutely shreds is Dale. I met him at the Greenport Skatepark last summer in Long Island, and he is probably the most talented AM vert skater I have ever encountered. Watch Dale skate in my most recent YouTube video where he teared up my local skatepark earlier this month. Dale is not one to go out of his way for clips, but I enjoy filming a skater whose talent should get out there. That is the common thing about core skaters is they keep it low key and therefore it is clear that there are a lot of under rated skateboarders out there, specifically core skaters.
