I began skateboarding as a kid in the 80's. I rode a
Christian Hosoi from Skull Skates and wore holes in my grey/pink checked Vans just to buy a new identical pair. Relentlessly, I chased my brother and his friends around, jumping in on every ramp/pool session that they'd allow me in on. I'm still skating today.
In 2007, I started a women's skateboarding program in Crested Butte, Colorado encouraging girls and women to get off the bleachers and get on a board. The women in this program never cease to amaze me and are tearing it up. This is where the motivation to start Sk8sister blossomed.

The idea of Sk8sister came to me as I spent hourless days at our local skatepark with my two sons. Our park hosts several women/girls who kill it on a daily basis.
As a kid, I raced BMX finishing 2nd in the Nation and 5th in World. I understand what it takes to excel in an unforgiving sport. Currently, I am learning to skate, the ultimate smack down.
I am stoked on the girl's out there that are going after it!
Cori (The Intern) The girl behind all the artsy fartsy stuff as Sk8Sister's Graphic Designer and Photographer. I started skateboarding when I was younger, and by skateboarding I mean rolling around on my ninja turtles walmart special deck on my stomach down the neighborhood hills. I retired from skateboarding until I was 20 and picked it up again as something to do when I wasn't on my snowboard, and fell in love. I now have the opportunity to skate with an awesome group of women from the novices like myself to the rippers I aspire to become and am stoked for what Sk8Sister stands for in the world of women's skateboarding. When I'm not on a board I'm a full time art student making a mess with any medium I can get my hands on.
