The birth of my introduction to Heidi all started with a question to a long-time, stellar skater friend of mine called Fudge. It was almost like asking Fudge the “Magic Mirror” from Snow White….”Who is the baddest of them all? The baddest skater girl you know?”. The first he mentioned was Heidi Kreis out of […]
There’s a very cool site out there called www.starkravingmadeleine.com that is recognizing female skaters and bikers and other women in action sports. The trailer to one of their documentary videos is above (on girls that skate). Here are some of the details of The Visibility Project – a project working hard to get more girls […]
Sue – invert on Perranporth Vert, Cornwall, UK Photo: Nicky Tidman I’ve always believed that life isn’t about staying within one’s comfort zone; it’s about pursuing something new and challenging to evolve and learn. No matter the amount of bruises and scratches, you gotta get up and go at it again, right? After interviewing one […]
We love this girl! She’s blowin’ up right now. She wrote me with appreciation that we admired her and all she is doing but I gathered she is not the type that likes doing interviews (and she is doing everything under the sun, always busy doing something)…SO, I’m posting her video interview (wasn’t with us)…and […]
As one of the female faces of Van’s in the UK, Helena Long is fast becoming known for her far-from- gutless street maneuvers (as you can see from her photographs) and also for her striking, playful personality. Actually, her photographs are how I discovered her; specifically the magnificent one by Jenna Selby. I was googling […]
Sweet, sweet, sweeeeeeeet! UK’s first ever movie on female skaters by Jenna Selby. And we have one of our own…interviewees, that is, in it: Helena Long. Watch until the end as Helena launches off for a jump, lands it……….but a lil wheel escapes from her board. hahahaa……good stuff. :) —————————————– Over the past year all […]
Bubbles. Extreme bubbles. That’s what I think of when I connect with this girl every time. Her energy is unstoppable. So is her courage. Her personality? Bubbles. She’s adorable and has a unique sense of humor that made me chuckle throughout her interview. Soon to be 24 years old (on March 1), Rastafarian Micku Murgolo […]
Having a reputation for a sweet, soft-spoken demeanor, it’s a bit ironic that American skater, Gaby Ponce’s actions on a half-pipe would just scream out at you like it does. This beautiful mix of Puertorriquena and Cubana gets down. And this girl FLIES. Soon to be embarking to the west coast after growing up on […]
Parisian Aurore Costabile rolls hard. The 21-year old has been rollerblading almost as long as she has been walking. Awarded a pair of skates as a young girl, she has eventually graduated onto a more aggressive form of skating… sliding across rails, taking leaps and jumps off of whatever she can; the French firecracker explodes […]
Holly Lyons stands out as one of the most memorable skaters because she has assisted in blasting any stereotypes about women on wheels and has given a new definition to ‘skating like a girl’. Skating like a girl is badass….. especially when you have the skills and guts of Holly Lyons. Besides being busy with […]
