Two days and two celebrities! Yesterday it was Irina Shayk, today we’ve got Selena Gomez (actress, singer, Bieber girlfriend)!! Here she is with a bit of barefoot cruising on the set of the show, Wizards of Waverly Place. From what we hear she has some skills and you can check out a bunch of photos here. Hey Selena, why don’t you come on the Girls Skate Camp?

Who knew Irina Shayk was a Skater Girl?

Lotta — Fri, 18 May 2012 07:00:44 +0000

Just happened to be surfing The Daily Mail newspaper when what did I see? Pictures of Irina Shayk (that’s Ronaldo the football players girlfriend) clutching a few skateboards!! Now call it a hunch but I don’t think she actually skates them?! Ha ha – no they were actually part of a new campaign for Spanish clothing label Blanco. Maybe this can be a new part of the website: Celebrity Skaters? From now on, if anyone sees a picture of a celeb with a skateboard, let us know! Cioa!

Continuing the ‘Your Tape’ series, this month we’ve got a fun little edit from Kate Price and her friend Grace, who live in Australia. They’ve made a deal with their parents to get a gopro camera as long as they can smash through 300 views on youtube. I’m sure we can help!

Mimi Knoop skates Bucky Lasek super bowl

Lotta — Tue, 15 May 2012 07:00:25 +0000

Back in February on ‘Superbowl Sunday’, Mimi Knoop headed over to Bucky Lasek’s house to skate the ultimate ‘super bowl’. It looks like it was a great bbq, beer and skate sesh if the pictures over on the ozzieusband blog are anything to go by (words and photos thanks to BLKPRJKT and MRZ).

We love the photo tag too… “Girls shouldn’t play football. It’s not a chauvinist statement. Girls should ride skateboards. Mimi Knoop. Fastplant.”

Skirtboarders pay tribute to Dan Mathieu

Lotta — Sun, 13 May 2012 07:00:20 +0000

The founder and editor of Exposé Magazine, photographer Dan Mathieu has perhaps done more than anyone to increase the visibility of not just skateboarding in Quebec (Canada), but specifically womens skateboarding. Since the 90′s, his keen artistic eye has seen his skate photos land in magazines everywhere, and he has always encouraged the womens scene – even giving them a ‘Chick Out’ section in the first ever issue. Below is a group photo of all the stories he’s helped release for the girls skate scene but to see them in detail, along with many other beautiful photos from the last 15 years, check out the full tribute story over on Skirtboarders here. Huge props to Dan!
