So while I can't speak to your local skater culture, over here people doing graffiti and skateboarders are basically perfectly non overlapping groups. Where the association comes from is that a lot of skate parks get graffiti'd because skaters don't mind if their skate park has paint on it. Again, quite possibly different in your locality but it's worth pondering if a similar association-by-cohabitation is happening there.
