We are SUPER excited to announce our first ever official event in celebration of International Go Skate Day next month in Association with Brighton & Hove Skateparks Association and supported by Brighton longboard Ladies. Titled ‘Push The Prom’, we plan on doing exactly that, gathering up an army of skaters to cruise along the Brighton Promenade with fun skate sessions either side!
We will be kicking the day off at Hove Lagoon Skatepark where we will be giving skate lessons alongside Lovenskates very own Lucy Adams, the UK’s no.1 Female Skateboarder. Fun competitions will follow, with a prize giving shortly before heading off along the Promenade.
We will be continuing our celebrations at The Level Skate Park where we will have a bit of a skate and watch the other events that are going on. We’ll also be giving away prizes throughout the day to the girls we feel are really pushing themselves and having loads fun along the way, so make sure you get involved!
For those older ones, there will be an after party at Fortune Of War bar on the beach, with live music & a premiere of the Boardettes film, ‘She Shreds’ – Blurb below….
” A short film following UK professional skater, Lucy Adams as she teaches and introduces women of all ages to the world of skateboarding. Following Sportitave’s Brighton She Shredders as they gather each week to develop their skills, the film explores what it is about this adrenaline packed sport that gets you hooked for life”
MASSIVE thanks to everyone who got involved in helping to make this event happen, big up to Lucy Adams and Brighton & Hove Skateparks Association, Boardettes, Brighton Longboard Ladies, Brighton She Shredders, Sports Development, Kamikazee Boarding, AND all of our sponsors – Vans, Man Up Girl! Lovenskate, Story Clothing, Pinkwavetees, Stance Socks, Hoopla, Pinkwavetees, Keen Dist, Thrashion, Cooler, Sidewalk Mag, Shiner, Brahboys, Rokeo & Level Skateboards.
With all these guys on board you can be sure that prizes will be in abundance! We’ll make sure everyone goes home with a little something so come on down & enjoy the fun!
Skate Girl Productions will be there documenting the event too, so come along for a Go Skate Day to remember!
This event is absolutely free, so there’s no excuse not to gather up your friends and come along to celebrate ‘International Go Skateboarding Day!’
Boys are more than welcome to join in with Push The Prom (the more the merrier!) but the lessons are for the girls only.
We will also have a little pop up shop selling event t-shirts (a very special Girl Skate UK and Pinkwavetees collab!!) homemade wax & some freshly printed limited edition Lovenskate gear made especially for us, so don’t forget to bring your pocket money!

So roll on the 13th annual Girl Skate Jam UK! Pioneer Skatepark will again be hosting the comp, which will be held on Saturday 28th June between 12-5pm.
This park will be organising the BBQ this year, so make sure to bring your pennies along for it. Neon Stash will again be organising their brilliant tie dye tee-shirt action with a pop up session.
The day will start with a 2 hour jam for all the ladies (between 12-2pm) – this time is especially for those who are not into the competing side of things but want to have a roll around the park with everyone else. The jam will then be followed by the Under 18’s comp, the Over 18’s comp and Miniramp Jam.
The day will be rounded off as always with the Sponsored comp and Best Trick.
There have been some big changes to the park since the last comp with a completely new indoor layout refurb
Big thanks in advance to the sponsors for their continued support with this annual event: Rogue, Death, Chocolate, Vans, Nikita, Neon Stash, Lakai, Animal, Rubicon, Roam and Seek, Rokeo, Story Clothing & Cooler Mag!
