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".
