Homage has been hosting at least one girls session a month! They have been so rad and have made their space truly a place for learning. Every night we attend, each skater mentions landing something new - so rad! Keep it up Homage!

Skateboarding in NYC is always a challenge come winter months. It was the coldest day of the year so far (8 degrees) and around 7pm, girls started to file into Homage Skateboarding Academy ready to shred.

Johnna, who works at Homage, saw the need for a women’s exclusive skate night and took the initiative to open up the space! She and John welcomed skaters of all levels came to skate the three varying ramps, and a few other skate obstacles. It was refreshing to see such a strong turn out of all levels and all rad energy.
