Leticia Bufoni Speaks Out.




Great article in Rolling Stone. Pro skateboarder Leticia Bufoni speaks out about everything from her decision to pose for the ESPN Body Issue, to why she doesn't have a board sponsor, and how she feels about the haters that come with being a top ranked skater.

Here's a sneak peek of just one of Leticia's quotes from the article

"But some things still have to change. I don't have a board sponsor because most of the big skateboard companies will not sponsor girls. Some of the big brands we met with actually told us that they don't want any girls on their skate teams. It's hard, because I can only get a "flow" sponsorship, which means I ride in exchange for free boards, while the company makes money using my name. I'm not doing that. I would rather ride for myself. I have my own blank boards with my own future company called Yeah Yeah Skateboards. Paul Schmitt makes my boards and they are perfect."
