Game Changers!

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.

Cooler Mag Girls Session @ HTCOne Skatepark

Yesterday I headed down to the HTC One Skatepark at Selfridges for the 2nd Cooler Mag girls Session! It was rad to see the standard of Girls skating being so high. Josie Millard, 15 from Brighton kickflipped both sets of steps but one more for a photo caused a tail snappage of the cleanest kind. Bummer for Josie. Camilla Mullins slid the smoothest front boards down the rail whilst Dor Horvath got tech on a boardslide shuv out on same rail.

Highlight of the night was that Jenny Jones, the boss was in the house! Jenny hung around and created hype giving hints and tips and positivity to all the girls trying to get their moves!

Cooler mag did a little write up here

And here you can see a clip of me taking a few hard slams trying to FS Flip the Road Gap :(

I custom made a Skateboard with David Simmons

Last year I started a project with David Simmons who offers a custom made skateboard making service in his workshop in Worthing, West Sussex.

I learned every step of the process from gluing to the shaping with the help of David! I then sent my board up to Lovenskate for screen printing and now I'm riding it!

Here is a clip I made of the process and some bonus skate footage at the end!

Here are some pics of the process...all taken by David Simmons...

Pixels Episode - Sam Banham Jam @ The Level

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.

 

Sam Banham, 1977-2013. Rest in Peace.

Nickelodeon Fruit Shoot Skills Crew - LA Trucks

This summer I've joined the Fruit Shoot Skills Crew made up of me L.A. Trucks, N.C. Flex, , Connor Boost, Matti Axel, Roxy Flo, Drew Hoops, and Laura Kicks.

Check the Skills Crew Profiles on the website here

The Skills Crew will be heading to a city near you, on our countrywide tour!

You can meet the crew, watch us perform our amazing skills, watch tutorials with your favourite members, and even have one-to-one coaching with us!

L.A. Trucks

L.A. Trucks is the UK number 1 female Skateboarder and is a serious female force to be reckoned with when she is riding! L.A. Trucks has been getting on her board, and getting gnarly since she was young, and ever since guys told her ‘Girls can’t skate!’ she has worked hard to prove them wrong! She surfs curbs and hammers half-pipes like she was born on a board and the best thing about it all – she helps other girls who love skating to believe that anything is possible, even if it is a male dominated sport.

L.A. Trucks will bring Spirit and Resilience to the Crew – and knows that whenever times are getting tough and you feel you’ve given all you’ve got, then you’ve just got to get back on the board and enjoy the ride!

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!!!!

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
