At 59 years old, Amy Bradshaw still skateboards every day. She goes by @oldladyskater on instagram but that is Amy having a bit of fun, while she may be older than most people skateboarding regularly, she still keeps up with the kids at the skatepark (easily).

S1 helmets just posted an interview with Amy that covers her skating back in the day, her life now and everything in-between. It’s a great read!

You can check out Amy’s S1 interview HERE

Elise Crigar with the new Pom Pom x GN4LW Deck

1. Pom Pom x Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word Skate Deck - We did our very first collaboration deck with Pom Pom Skateboards and we love the rad graphics that are infused with elements from our logos and artwork throughout the years. The beautiful teal color on bottom and pink wood stain on top makes it so beautiful you may want to hang it on the wall! But at 8.5 wide this is the perfect board to ride if you want some stability when you skate and to have a smooth ride. It also gives all proceeds back to our fiscally sponsored non-profit GN4LW Movement! $70 and there is a 15% off coupon on the site!

2. Four Wheels and a Board: The Smithsonian History of Skateboarding - this new book by co-authors Jane Rogers and Betsy Gordon, designed by skaters Elise Crigar and Alex Barnes, is a fresh take on the history of skateboarding. It also includes chapters from GN4LW founder, Cindy Whitehead, about what it was really like for women skateboarding in the 70s and 80s. Visually stunning and chock full of great information and beautiful photographs - any skater in your life will love it! On sale now at Amazon for $28.63

3. Independent Stage 11 Primitive Mid Skate Trucks - We just used these awesome trucks on our new Pom Pom x GN4LW Collab board and they are sweeeet! Gold trucks are a rarity, so get ready to be stopped every where you skate and get asked about them. We love the look and the ride so much! We used 159’s on our board. But they do come in 144, 149 and 139 as well. $64.95 Get them at CCS

4. Bigfoot Magazine - Our favorite non-traditional spicy skateboard mag has a special right now, the latest issue of Bigfoot and a Bigfoot tee for only $25. This is a deal that can’t be beat! Perfect as a core git or as socking stuffers. Get yours before they sell out! Did we mention that team rider Minna Stess is on the cover? Even more reason to get a copy! $25 includes Bigfoot Mag anda Bigfoot tee!
