Why five women embarked on a 3,500-mile skateboard journey across Europe
For most people, this could sound less than relaxing – even terrifying. But for Anna Pixner, downhill skateboarding at speed evokes a different feeling: freedom. Austrian Pixner has been riding concrete like surfers ride waves for six years. When she started competing, she would stand out in crowds of hundreds of men as one of a dozen women.
Pixner tells CNN Sport that she finds skating to be “a very good tool to help with all kinds of mental issues. For myself, I experienced it too, because I used to be extremely anxious, like in a way of social anxiety, and skateboarding absolutely opened my mind. “In very intense moments, you’re confronting yourself with your weakest points. When you’re skating and you have to push your limits all the time, otherwise you don’t improve and you don’t have fun,” Pixner says.
