She finished second place in the Exposure Street 15 and Up Division in 2019. Exposure held a video component competition in place of an in-person event in 2020 during the pandemic.
Margielyn Didal won second place in that competition.
Exposure is a skateboarding competition for women, transgender, binary, and other gender-nonconforming people that was founded in 2012.
The yearly event was founded to challenge cultural standards, boost the media's portrayal of a strong female, transgender, and nonbinary skateboarders, and raise awareness of domestic abuse.
Proceeds from the event are donated to a nearby shelter for victims of domestic violence.
The Community Resource Center's Domestic Violence Program receives the event's proceeds (CRC).
Following the success of the first Exposure event, the founders decided to start Exposure Skate, a non-profit organization devoted to using skateboarding to empower women, Trans people, and non-binary people.
The group also hosts learn-to-skate clinics, community service learning, and wellness education in addition to the annual Exposure competition.
