Absolutely, all the time. It can be tough to deal with but Travis helps me a lot. He always reminds me that those people don’t know us and have no idea what they are talking about. It’s just annoying to get people talking about our parenting style when they don’t know us or see what goes on along with the photos and videos we may post.
Girls skate is booming over in Europe right no, and globally Nike have just signed Leticia Bufoni from Brazil, how do you feel about the scene right now?I was so stoked when I found that out, not only is she a good friend, so rad, and an amazing skater, she is a great representation of women’s skating. I see so many girls out there now, so many young girls coming up, it’s so inspiring to see! Although it’s sad to not have many places for them to go. When I was younger I would do 30 contest a year. There were so many amateur and pro events.
How can we get more girls skating vert?First there has to be vert ramps, then there has to be vert skaters that are encouraging to others to get out there, and it would really help if there were actually women’s vert contests. Girls get inspired when there is someplace to showcase their skating or something to strive to win.
