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!
