Amazing Skateboarding Girls!
Apr 20th, 2010 by madeleine
Finally I’ve finished the skateboarding video teaser for the upcoming documentary. These girls were amazing and kind and lovely and fearless! While I’m still not quite brave enough to drop in on a cement bowl, I have been inspired to keep skating and am skating every day along the cobbled streets of London, despite many a “women don’t ride skateboards” being muttered at my back. For all the dirty looks, it’s worth it to see the sparkle and awe in a little girl’s eye as she sees me riding a skateboard.
It’s for all those little girls that we’re making this documentary. Whether you skateboard, ride a motorcycle, start a rock band, or any other kind of adventure… you’re pretty cool in my books. Let’s get those stories out there, so that little girls have something to see other than bland pop stars and vain celebrities!
Please subscribe to our YouTube channel, we need to show the world that people really want to see girls doing awesome stuff. More videos are coming soon!
I could watch this all day and night. Passing along to everyone I know. This is the raddest message for all girls out there. Congrats on the video!
This is great. I personally know and skate with 3 or 4 of the girls in that video and it’s always cool to see people wanting to make an effort to expose more girls skateboarding. I’ve got two different skate video projects where I have tried doing the same type of thing - showcasing that the talents of girls skaters are just as valid as the boys. Check them out at:
