Well with many, many months of plugging away at endless emails and phone calls two weeks ago was our Second All-Female Skate Jam. Even in 104″ degree weather we had a large turn out of skaters, artist, friends and people showing their support.

This non-competitive event is directed towards the celebration of female skateboarders and artists, aiming to showcase their skills and talents within a positive and supportive community environment.

Sol Collective our physical sponsor is a very active group of wonderful people who came out with their Non-GMO seeds along with all their fun projects for the kids to do while their moms were skating. Sol Collective is ran by Estelle funder/activist.

We started the day setting up tents and the art work shop for the kids. The Women teaching the children where artist Miss Reds, Agana from Oakland, Jenn Ponci from Grass Valley, and Detiy drove all the way from LA just to paint for the day.

Skateboarding is NOT for girls… At All!

Nyjah Huston is quoted saying “Some girls can skate but I personally believe that skateboarding is not for girls at all. Not one bit.” in the July 2013 issue of Thrasher Magazine. This statement has since gone viral in social media and the response in support of female skateboarders has been overwhelming. Though it is sad to see that opinions like this still exist, I think the support and encouragement of the other 99% is more important. Also, “that one girl” that did a 540 is actually two and their names are Lyn-z Adams Hawkins Pastrana and Alana Smith! (Taken from girls skate net work).

Nyjah’s Response

Thats right ladies stop being rad and go back to the kitchen, dont wanna see you get hurt!!

Open to all ages and abilities, activities begin at 12:00pm and include a female skate session, youth street art and graffiti workshop, and prize raffle, with music provided by DJ Esef. During the course of the jam, members of the Few and Far crew will be demonstrating live art and skateboarding. The non-competitive event, directed towards the participation and celebration of female skateboarders and artists, aims to showcase individual skills and talents within a positive and supportive community environment.

In October 2011, Few and Far’s All Female Skate Gathering was their inaugural assemblage of female artists and skateboarders, drawing participants throughout the West Coast and beyond. Building upon the successes and praise of the event, Few and Far is looking forward to once again rally together local and outside skateboarding and street art communities for a day of fun and camaraderie.

Hannah brought her very brave & awesome son Harley that brought his own board and was having a blast skating with one of girls around the park.
