Last week I was lucky enough to get invited to be on Game Changers which is aired on Sky Sports on Saturdays at 9am! I had a great time in the studio with Darren and Di and got to teach some young Game Changers a few skateboarding skills.
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

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 :)

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!!!!
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.
I aldo have a skateboard coaching website http://lucyadamsskatecoach.com/ - i do private lessons and will also be working on a new Female Skate project at Brighton Youth Centre in the New Year...Watch this space!
