We will also have a little photo booth area set up where you can snap some selfies with Margie and the team!
SKATE MEDIA WORKSHOPS
We are SO proud to see how the number of women and girls in skateboarding has grown, but the number of women in the skate media industry is still seriously lacking.
With that in mind, weāve organised some female-focused skate media workshops to help develop your skills and open doors within our industry.
Itās time to carve space for our community within the skate media landscape!
Fancy yourself as a filmer?
Learn how to film skateboarding like the pros! Weāll have Ryan Gray of āThe Skateboarders Companionā running a 1 hour filming workshop where heāll share how to get the best angles and how to put together a banging edit.
Photography more your thing?
Skate photographer Graham Tait of North Skate Mag will be running a 1 hour photography workshop where youāll learn everything you need to know about getting a magazine-worthy skate shot. Heāll be sharing his knowledge on angles, timings and what camera settings works best for the perfect skate photo.
SKATEBOARD TASTER SESSIONS
Our sister skater school āThe Skate Retreatā will be there to offer free skateboarding lessons. There will be 2 x 30 min group sessions starting at 2pm, these will be suitable for complete beginners. Skateboards and safety equipment are available to hire from the park.
PIZZA AND REFRESHMENTS
