These girls are really pushing themselves and there passion for skating is right up there! They're putting me to shame with the amount of time they're spending on their boards. Mega shout outs for everyone who helped make this happen, including Brighton and Hove City Council, Brighton Youth Centre and of course the Brighton She Shredders

Vans UKSA Skateboard Champs 2013

Just got back from Nottingham to take part in this years Vans UKSA Skateboarding Championships!

Loads of girls made it down to skate the comp at it's new home of Flo Skatepark and the standard of skating was rad. Well done to everyone, special mention to Lois P for killing all the big transitions in the place and also Becky Jacques for learning a new stunt (blunt fakie) and tweaking that FS Rock on the whippy bank to quarter obstacle.

Footage here...

Switch Sessions Mount Hawke

This month I headed down to Cornwall for a weekend to attend the 2nd Switch Session at Mount Hawke. Switch is a monthly girls session held at the skatepark, there was a luanch back in November, but unfortunately i couldn't make that one.

Anyway, this time I got to skate a bit but also coached a few girls that were trying out skateboarding either for the first time or just wanted some advice. The crew were rad and came on strong in the couple of hours we had :)

For more info on the Cornwall Girls skate scene and for the Mount Hawke Switch sessions check out the Girls Skate Fal FB page

Here is a little edit of me skating the park...


I also managed to stop by the DC Showroom on the way back... Sick BOWL!!!!

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 4th 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!
Stu FS wallride, Sibbarp

#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 3rd and be stoked forever more with a badass board cheque J
