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

Us Girls Hastings

This week I was invited down to the Us Girls project in Hastings to meet some of the programmes participants and do some skating at the gnarly bowl!

The weather turned out pretty good, although a bit on the windy side! I met some rad girls that were attending a variety of the sessions that the Us Girls Hastings project including a gym session that I looked in on.

It was also great to see some younger girls turning up at the park and I did some coaching and gave out some stickers!

10 Tricks at Woodingdean

Sunshine Bus crew hit up Woodingdean skatepark yesterday in the perfect blues. The park is rad and we were treated to another crew of skateboarders turning up causing all the scooter kids to leave! RESULT!

Here's a 10 tricks on the whippy quarter filmed by Holly Bunce...

Get Set Go - Malmo Ultra Bowl

After not having posted frequently for a while, this is gonna be an almighty blog post about the most awesome comp I’ve ever been to!
Malmo Ultra Bowl! The girls comp is known as Women’s Get Set Go and this was the 4^th edition, now taking place as a street comp.

The early morning flight to Copenhagen was taken by myself, Hannah Neon Stash, Becky Jaques and Stef Nurding – quite a crew! We landed by 10am and so decided to spend a bit of time in the city and check out a few spots.

The flight was too much for some!

 





The first park was pretty rad and warmed us up nicely (footage to come!) for the Faelledsparken – the hugest skatepark I’ve ever seen. The park had a pool, a bowl snake run type bit, an overhang gnarly bit, a whoop-de-whoop middle bit with hips, d/ways and speed bumps and a street plaza. It was the shit! I immediately got involved with some airouts that a queue of kids were hittin up whilst Hannah was given a dropping-in lesson from Becky! Nice one Hannah!

 

As the evening we headed over to Malmo to meet up with Lovenskate boss and rider, Stu and Ewen! A little skate at Stappel before dark and an early night went down well.

 

 

Saturday morning saw the quarter finals for the girls comp and there were 29 girls in total! How rad is that?! It was cool to see the standard being so high amongst the riders and some really serious stunts. Sarah Meurle killed it on the Saturday, nollie heels mid run was a shocker! Julia Bruekler and Kristin Ebeling also ripped hard and made things look easy.

 

That afternoon Stu, Ewen, some other Brits and I all went off to check out Malmo’s other impressive skatepark offering that is Sibbarp! Swimming in the sea, Texas plants and a Chinese that served pizza (#unexpected) were all on the agenda!

#perfectblues and backflips

Sunday morning played host to the semi’s and the finals! Good news was that Stef, Lois and I all made the cut for the semi’s! Stef landed a FS flip on the quarter which she’d only learned a few weeks back and Lois honed around. Julia, had a few more tricks in the bag too and Kristin was as powerful as ever.

 

6 made it through to the finals – Lois and I got in! It was sick! I wanted the Sal flip over the spine but I had to make do with a savage slam instead. Good enough to get 3^rd and be stoked forever more with a badass board cheque J
