Boardettes - She Shreds Online NOW!

Our friends at Boardettes have been to visit numerous She Shredders sessions that take place in Brighton every Thursday evening, 5.30-7.30pm, to film for a new project.

The result is 'She Shreds'! A short film following UK professional skater, Lucy Adams as she teaches and introduces women of all ages to the world of skateboarding. Following Sportivate’s Brighton She Shredders as they gather each week to develop their skills, the film explores what it is about this adrenaline packed sport that gets you hooked for life.

Check out Boardettes website for more skateboarding fun and watch the film here

Skateboard Coaching - Brighton Girls Workshops

This summer I got to work on a great programme delivering skate workshops to girls at Hove Lagoon Skatepark. We did two 6 week courses and had over 20 girls / women taking part. The girls really came on throughout the course and each was competent riding their skateboards around the park and going down banks.

During the course Olivia Bohac came down and shot some photos of the lessons in action! There are loads of great shots on her blog here http://oliviabohacphotography.tumblr.com/post/31731640809/brighton-skate-jam-continued
