Heading Upstate for our First 2nd Nature Skate Jam

As the weather gets colder and summer sessions, street skating and girls skate days at House of Vans seem like a distant memory– we realized that it’s time to rally the girls and host an event at one of our local indoor skate spots: 2nd Nature Skatepark

We linked up with the most badass 10 year old we know, Ruthless Ruthie (and her mom, Georgia) to rally the Majestic Skate Crew. We had the tri-state area come along, via Grit & Grace from New Jersey and Sk8 Babes crew coming from Connecticut.

We had a free skate to kick off the day, followed by two mini contests. First, Fastest time around the bowl: Won by fastest gun in the east, Jordan Pascale. We then headed downstairs for a Best Trick contest: won by Nicole Hawkins with a Nollie Back Lip and followed in second by Mathilda Kotsonis with a bil ol’ boneless over the stairs.

So many girls came up to use throughout the day letting us know that they are so used to being the only girls at the skatepark. It was a welcome change taking over 2nd Nature. We’re stoked to help bring the female skate community together to show the next generation of shredders that girls skate too and remind them how rad they are! Big BIG shout out to every girl who came out and showed up, regardless of skill level. Skateboarding is fun and skateboarding is for everyone!
