Video: WIPEOUT!
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try, try again."
Learning a new sport takes a lot of effort, persistence, and sometimes a few good falls before we finally get the hang of things.
The girl shredders in the video show real grit, determination, and most of all how much fun sports like skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing can be! π
Last month we put a call out for families to share with us clips of their girls outside and shredding!
The Goal? To create and share more content of young girls in action sports.
Why? Because action sports not only develop strength and coordination, but also build confidence and a sense of community.
What we received? Over 40 submissions from families all around the globe sharing videos of their girls surfing, skating, BMX'ing, skimboarding, snowboarding, and horseback riding!
We think it's so important that girls & women are represented in action sport media.
By creating & sharing resources like these videos and our action sport book series, we hope to normalize women as athletes and protect girls against the societal pressures that contribute to them dropping out of sports in middle and high school.
Spread the message of girls in action sports by gifting "Queenie Wahine, Little Surf Girl" and "Little Millie Ford and Her New Skateboard" with your friends and family.
