Sk8er of the Month

 

      Jessica Frankman Hartigan    
Jess hails from Crested Butte, Colorado, Sk8sister's home base. She is a veteran of skating, rolling with the smoothest style on the planet.  Sk8sister is forever indebted to her for all of her teaching, support and good vibes.  We are beyond stoked to feature her these next 2 months!

 
1.  Name, Nicknames:   Jessica Frankman Hartigan, "Frank"
  
2.  Hometown/Age: Crested Butte, CO
 
3. Sponsors: Sk8sister

4.  Skateboarding accomplishments:
 
Everytime I skate.....

 

5.   How long have you been skating?   16 years
 
 
6.   How did you get into skating?  I was 22, living in Ohio.  I was super stoked about the whole culture of skateboarding and what an expression skateboarding is/was of one's self creativity.  A friend hooked me up with  my first board and I started with the basics.

 

7.   Where's your favorite place to skate?  Colorado rips.  Oregon's fun.  But if I had to pick one or two, Id say Colorado Springs or Orcas and a couple Colorado backyard bowls.



8.  Anyone you look up to in the skateboard world?  Anyone who STILL loves to skate.



  9.  Describe your perfect skate day.  Road trip to several of my favorite skateparks, cloud coverage, hard and heavy music (live music preferred), good friends and beers.
 
10.  What kind of reactions or responses do/have you received from people when you tell them that you skate?  You don't look like a skater! 

 
11Any advice for fellow female skaters or girls wanting to get into  skating? It's always good to learn your basics.  When you are not feeling it just roll, keep it light and have fun.  When you are feeling it, believe in yourself and charge.

12. 
Anything else you would like to add?  
Skating with the guys is killer but when there's ladies to sess with, too, it's the ultimate. 
 
Jessica is one of my best friends and I am honored to have her here on the Sk8sister website.  She's has been with Sk8sister from the beginning bringing encouragement and killer style that we all emulate.  Thank you "Frank" for taking the time to share some wise words with all of us.
