The Skateboard Moms highly recommend Amelia’s new blog:
http://ameliabrodka.com/2011/05/24/no-room-for-women-in-skateboarding/
Amelia’s blog got us thinking about how we can best promote women’s competition in skateboarding and, like Amelia, we’d love to hear about how you think we can help female skaters get the support and exposure they deserve. We’re considering a number of options, and you’ll be hearing more about that here.

Hello, my name is Lucy and I’m assistant editor for an upcoming pregnancy magazine: we are looking for unusual and fascinating women who were/are pregnant. If you have anybody in mind, please have them drop me a line at lucy@missbump.com
Well, this doesn’t have a whole lot to do with the media, but Skate Like a Girl is a great organization that supports female skaters. Skateboarding’s always been a male dominated industry; we need to get girls involved in the sport at a very young age. I’m seeing more chicks skating, especially longboarding. Honestly, I think longboarding is easier for women. Anyways, props to my fellow skater grrrrls! Keep pushin!
Well done girl.
Keep skating
I was just looking at skate blogs and magazines the other day and was thinking how there is really no exposure for girls. There are literally no well known female skateboarders so I wholeheartedly support your efforts. I was actually thinking about learning how to skateboard. I’m surprised that market hasn’t been tapped into because people are always looking to make more money and getting females interested in skateboarding could boost sales (not that this is about money). Good luck with your venture!

Hi ladies, I will definitly agree that there needs to be more women involved in not just skateboarding but the action sports industry in general! I’m currently in the Fashion Technology program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Vancouver, BC) and I’m in the process of developing a niche market. What do you think about skateboarding gear for women? Is there a need for it and what do oyu find is missing in what’s out there? Would love to hear your suggestions!

Hi
I really like your site. My daughter also patina. Well I’m teaching only has 2 years jejeje
I’m Manuel Llorens, director of corporate communication Skate-Home. (www.skate-home.com). I am contacting you to present a new and very original product.
This is an idea that combines the furniture to the world of skateboarding.
We design furniture using real skateboards and turn it into couches, chairs, coat racks, lamps, mirrors, chests, stools, etc …
Your web is a benchmark in the world of skateboarding. So we would feel very honored if you were taken the trouble to visit our http://www.skate-home.com and publish an article stating their opinions about us in your web.
We would be glad to link your web on our site as a prestigious reference.
if you like I can send you photos
Sincerely,

Wow I just now ran across this your webpage about women skateboarders. How cool is that?! I don’t skateboard myself but I’ve always enjoyed watching others do it.
The reason I’m leaving a post here is because I make little skeleton figurines that are skateboarding (as seen here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/90753924/skateboarding-skeleton )
I would be more than happy to make male or female ones if interested. I just thought perhaps you might like to know since it is an exclusive item made only by me.
If you think there is something that I can do to help your cause in any way please let me know. I think what you are trying to do is a marvelous idea. Good luck!
Kathleen
