GirlSkateUK Push The Prom


sport, Tom Shepherd

“Push the Prom” is a great new skateboarding event for girls in the UK. It was started by the UK’s No1 female skateboarder, Lucy Adams and the founder of GirlSkateUK Danni Gallacher.

A celebration of Go skateboarding day – The girls have dedicated themselves to the female skater community offering free lessons, to build confidence and a foundation for girls to find “their rightful place on the concrete!”

The girls gathered at the Level skate park in Brighton for lessons, then took part in a mini ramp competition where loads of prizes were up for grabs from their brilliant sponsors Penny Boards, Element clothing & Wesc Clothing. After a couple of hours of tricks, hits and bruised hips, the girls lead the entourage on a three mile skate along Brighton sea front to Hove Lagoon skate park. The rest of the day saw more competitions, prizes, and some girls braving their first drop in!

The Beast Team are looking forward to next year!
