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

Earlier this year one of the pillars of the Brighton skateboard community, Sam Banham, sadly passed away. His memory lives on in the brand new skatepark and the whole Level Army who turned out in force to celebrate his life on Saturday 7th September 2013.
