We have been following Imilla Skate on IG for awhile now and love these women! So we wee very excited when we heard that Vans was dropping a doc on their female skate collective!

This dropped on International Women’s Day - Vans is saluting Imilla Skate, a collective of Indigenous women from Bolivia who challenge gender stereotypes through skateboarding—tearing down the notoriously steep streets wearing traditional pollera skirts.

For them, skateboarding is more than a sport—it’s a statement of resilience and empowerment in a machismo society. And now, they’re building a skate park and community center to inspire the next generation.

Documentary coming soon. Filmed by Optimist

Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team rider, Anna Shea, slays in this new commercial from American Express!

We love seeing female skaters featured more and more in commercials lately - it’s inspiring for other girls to see. It’s also important to point out that they allowed Anna to skate hard and not just cruise around the park. Can we talk about her HUGE air over the fence!!???

GO Anna!

We love Cherries Wheels, not only because we love supporting female owned skate companies but because their wheels are so awesome! The Big Boys are our personal favs. We can’t believe Cherries is going on two years now - that is so cool, plus they are now sold in Zumiez, Tactics as well as other skate shops across the country- making it even easier to grab a set!

Here’s to you, and happy 2nd anniversary Cherries!

Fun Fact! Cherries is the FIRST female owned wheel company

Congrats Anna!

Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team rider, Mayzie Feher is literally on a roll with her part in the newly launched Sun Bum ad campaign, “Outside is In”. Watch this fun video to see how Mayzie not only skateboards but does stunts as well!

Unapologetically herself. This is Lizzie Armanto. From the Cove in Santa Monica to the pages of Vogue, Lizzie continues to be one of the most influential and inspirational female skaters in the world. Mixing style and elegance - there's no one out here doing it like she is. We're really witnesses of the greatness that is Lizzie.

Red’s barn, Washington Street and Mammoth have all leveled their fair share of seasoned pros, but Ruby handles the heaviest terrain with absolute authority. Mami and Lizzie bring the backup in this stunning show.

"Now this is a skateboard"

Hop in on the sessions with the Powell-Peralta squad.

Make sure you keep an eye out for our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team rider Mazel Alegado at the 5:57 mark. It’s rare that a female skater gets into one of these videos, and she's ten-years-old!

GO MAZEL!

Filmed in 2023 this is Francesca Shuda with her first full part dedicated to Street Skating in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.

This part also welcomes Francesca Shuda to the Kinetic Skateboarding Team.

From Kinetic Skateboarding: "We had the opportunity to have Francesca become a part of Kinetic's shop team, even though it feels like she had always been a part of the crew! This girl has put in time, work and effort since showing up a couple of years ago at a Wilmington Skate Birds meetup. Since then she's gone on to be sponsored by Meow Skateboards and 187 Killer Pads. Aside from her just ripping it up whether in the park, streets or comps, she also is just a very kind and sweet person, and is always a friendly face at the park from Philly to Delaware and everywhere in between. As much as she wants to succeed, she wants others to succeed right alongside with her. Congratulations Francesca!! You deserve it."

We are BIG fans of TOGETHXR and they have just released a rad video on one of our favorite street skaters, Chloe Covell.

Chloe Covell just gets better with age. The 13 year old made X Games history as the youngest women’s street gold medalist earlier this year. Prior to that, she became the youngest skater with two podium finishes in competition history. Now she looks ahead to represent her country of Australia at the Paris Olympics and continue her impressive run. Already with sponsors from Nike SB and Oakley, TOGETHXR caught up with one of the hottest street skater in the world.

A "relationship" that began in 2019 and has always been filled with growth and unique moments is now summarized in the most coveted video part.

Filmed and edited by Ivan Vicente, this video part of Rafaela is a moment of dedication and mutual respect... In the end, it is said that they only celebrate relationships.

We love seeing mainstream luxury brands like Golden Goose support female skateboarders. Take a trip to China in the latest episode and meet skater Zhang Xin who shares her incredible story of discovery, transformation, and resilience.

Zhang Xin is a Chinese skateboarder. She has competed in women's park events at several World Skateboarding Championships, finishing 19th in 2018 and 25th in 2019. Zhang placed fifteenth in the preliminary round of the women's park event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

Watch to see what she is up to next!

Staying in tonight? Nursing a hangover on New Years Day?

Sit back and enjoy these two superstars spill the beans on hometown fame, fangirl moments, stair records, bucket lists, wild DMs and much more.

Skate mags used to run the world, but now social media means every skater can start their own brand. In the year 2023, what does it mean to be a pro skater? Does that title mean anything anymore? Red Bulls Pushing Forward (tries to) break it down in this episode. Great advice and info for everyone involved in skateboarding

Check out Nora Vasconcellos in this YETI - POWER PINK video. It’s cool to see Nora do her art and watch her skate everything from parks, and ditches to a ramp in the woods.

Nike asked girls and all-star athletes like Jordan Chiles, Rayssa Leal, and Bebe Vio how they tackled obstacles that made them want to quit sport. Listen in as they share stories, inspire one another, and tell each other, “You Got This.”

We love seeing our team riders Quinne Daniels and Briel Weingartner featured in these NIKE spots along with South Bay surfer/skater Teagan Meza and pro skaters Rayssa Leal, Leticia Bufoni as well as Venice local, skater/influencer Brooklinn Khoury.

Watch this next video to hear what Quinne has to say aboutow skateboarding has helped her with fitting in - powerful stuff!

Congrats Arisa!

RedBull dropped a new video of pro skater Brighton Zeuner last week, but we have to say that the interview (link below) was even more enlightening.

If you don’t know who Brighton is - prepare to get educated on the young phenom who won blew up women’s park skateboarding as a 12-year old winner of Vans Park Series, Malmo back in 2016. A year later, she would win an X-Games gold medal at just 13 years old - and her skateboarding career took off.

Her own Vans colourway and capsule collection demonstrated her burgeoning interest in fashion, which is where we begin our day in her company as she searches out appropriate ‘fits for Coachella.

We next high-tail it straight to the skatepark where Brighton shows us a little of the skate ability which made her the 2018 VPS World Champion, before the devastation of a broken nail sends her in search of comfort eating, Japanese-style.
