The Future is Here: Leo Baker Brings back NYCSP with Nike SB and Skate Like a Girl

NYCSP post-clinic group shot

Another NYCSP event for the books! This time, indoors, filled with workshops, clinics and live performances. This brain child of Leo Baker and Kristin Ebeling from Skate Like a Girl is a breath of fresh air for the skate community.

Adrian, Quell’s founder hosted a zine making workshop. Just beyond the workshop space, we found the skating area, curated with ramps, mani pads and rails built to be welcoming for beginners to learn and still fun for advanced skaters to shred. The space was ready to be filled with skaters coming together with a common purpose, and stoked to share a space to called their own.

After zines, Kristin Ebeling kicked off the SLAG clinic

Learning some flat ground tricks

All SLAG sessions end like this, sharing experiences and kudos with the other skaters. It’s an important moment to stop and empower each other.

Then we skate!
