We are so happy to be a community partner with Gap ! And how great is Mia taking gold at X Games at age NINE!?! What a weekend!!
Sporting her PALACE GAP track jacket, Mia Kretzer from our community partner Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word (GN4LW) took to Venice with her friends in the organization to showcase their original style over their favorite pastime — skating in their local skate community. Mia is a true original. At only 9 years old, she is an emerging skating prodigy taking home Gold at this year's X Games, making her the youngest athlete to participate and receive a medal at the acclaimed sports event. A huge congrats to her! 🏆 Photo credit: Ian Logan https://lnkd.in/ehYYTGVa

It's always a good day when people like Elise Crigar visit the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C., and share photos of our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word cruiser board on display in the Entertainment Exhibit, which is up now. Elise was also the designer behind our "It's Not About Pretty" book, and we could not have asked for a better person to work with on it!
7 years ago I designed "It's Not About Pretty" the first hardback book on female skateboarding for Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word. Today it can be found with other pieces of Cindy Whitehead's career memorabilia in the historical sports artifacts of the Smithsonian Institution. Items are pulled from a preservation room to be featured in exhibitions, used for educational purposes, etc. It’s so special to look back on my career start ignited by four wheels, a board, and being told a girl shouldn’t do something. Can’t wait to share what's next, thank you, skateboarding. 📖🛹 Ian Logan #skateboarding #womeninsports #book

Supporting events like this "Shred Like a Girl" Jam in Ohio this past Saturday, is part of what we are all about. We help promote these events throughout the year via our social channels, and we send branded Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word merch and stickers for prizes and give-a-ways. We feel it is extremely important to support these grass roots events to get more girls and women involved in skateboarding and we applaud the people who put these events together, host them at private skateparks and all the on site work that goes into them! Dead of winter in Ohio and look how many girls showed up - many driving hours to attend. Thanks to all the organizers that rely on us to help support their events. https://lnkd.in/gCfc6CxS
