Katherine Folsom charges hard - every time I see photos of her she always looks like she is 100% going for it and never holding back. But on top of kicking ass wherever she skates, she is just flat out a cool girl. She genuinely loves this sport, the other girls in it, and strives to have fun while doing it. Totally my kind of girl.

How Long Have You Been Skating?   Well, I learned how to push around 12 years ago, then I quit, then I decided to skate again 3 years ago

Three Things You Don't Know About Me:

2.  I have a pet tarantula

3.  My husband Roger is a skateboarder too. I started skating so I could hang out with him more.
