This year is off to a great start! Housewife participated in a couple really cool events in February!
GRLSWIRL + Substance Skatepark
Skate Night NYC
The second was Skate Night NYC at Max Fish Bar in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Typically Skate Nights are dominated by guys but it was really nice to add some feminine energy to the mix. We watch a Natural Koncepts Skateboards Skate Video Premiere, played some dice and coin games, and watched a band play their first show live!
Women That Rock Galentine’s Day
The first one was the Women That Rock Galentine’s Day Event at Baby’s Alright in Brooklyn. There were a bunch of super talented female vendors and musicians. I was so honored to be apart of it!
Quell + NYSP at 2nd Nature
The third one was the Quell Skateboarding + New York Skate Project event at 2nd Nature skatepark in Peekskill, New York! This was a super rad day that included a drive up the Hudson to an indoor skatepark that I’ve never been to! They had a bowl, a mini ramp, a street style area, and more. After a raffle for Nike Sb shoes, we watched a video about queer skateboarding. Check it out on Quell Skateboarding’s blog!

RAFFLE
After countless requests for the Housewife Raglans, we just printed a new batch and new jackets! While skating aroun’ Chinatown NYC we found a ramp in the trash, skated it, and brought it home!

A large group of skateboardin’ babes gathered at Homage Skateboard Academy in Brooklyn this week for a fun filled night of pizza, ramp tricks, and a prize raffle. Thank you to Quell Skateboarding for organizing the event!
Lucky raffle winners!

The first Housewife beginners clinic was a success! It was so great to meet a bunch of lovely ladies who wanted to learn to skate! We met up at the 91st Street Skatepark in Rockaway Beach. The weather predicted rain but we got lucky. To be honest, I got so much feedback on instagram and Meetups before the event that I got nervous 100 people would show up and I’d have to mosh pit through the skatepark.
It was the perfect amount of ladies that I felt like I could work one on one with everyone if they wanted pointers. I setup complete boards for people to borrow and try out different styles of boards. People were practicing ollies, fakie pivots, dropping in, tick tacks, and also just simply learning to push! It was a diverse group of ages ranging from 15-32.
I am definitely planning on having another one soon! Stay tuned.
