The Alliance has a new website and new members
The Alliance has relaunched their website and announce a new board member: Jenna Selby!
Jenna tells in her website that she is "a skateboarder and freelance photographer based in London.
She has since shot images for a variety of national and international
publications, online magazines and companies. She also helped create the
annual event series, "Girl Skate Jam UK" which is now celebrating it's
10 year. After breaking her ankle in 2008 Jenna turned her attention to
film making, creating the first European female skate film ‘As If, And
What?’ She is now working on a world wide venture called ‘Scratch The
Surface.’ The film will look to showcase not only those riders already
established, but also to document the girls who are part of emerging
scenes in countries where skateboarding is relatively new, including
Afghanistan, China and Russia. The project will be supported by images
and short documentaries."
For those who want to know more, "The Alliance is a non-profit association of professional women
skateboarders and other action sports athletes who have united to
develop and promote their sport by empowering and encouraging young
women's participation as well as increasing professional opportunities".
