Marisa Dal Santo is killing it right now. One of skating's most progressive women, 'Gnar Mar' sends it in silky smooth style 24/7 - following fellow Zero rider and pioneer
Elissa Steamer.
Which is why the 21-year-old's section in
Zero Skateboard's new film
Strange World has caused such a stir: post the late October premiere it was dubbed 'Raddest Section' by
Transworld Skate, a huge highlight for
Skateboarder Magazine, and
ESPN said she's now '
the girl with the best skate part ever--no joke.'Continue reading "Marisa Dal Santo in Zero's Strange World: best section ever?"

I've rabbited on excitedly about
As If, And What? on
nollie - the first european all-female skate film from
Rogue Skateboards founder
Jenna Selby - tonnes, but it looks like the circle of love for her project has been growing.
Firstly,
Sidewalk magazine has given the film a whopping
four page feature (see above) in the current issue - a huge piece of coverage for a female focused film in a core skate mag, which is pretty ground breaking and inspiring.

It's here!! After a whole summer of anticipation, Jenna Selby's tour de force - Europe's first all female skate film
As If, And What? - is finally available to buy. Just in time for those last minute (or belated?) Christmas present requests.
I went to the
premiere in London a few weeks ago and the standard of riding is insane - London teenagers
Sam Bruce and
Helena Long both stand out with their fearlessness, style and looking like they're absolutely loving it 24/7. UK legend,
Lucy Adams easily sticks the most incredible part of the film too - showing what professionalism, focus, skill and determination can achieve with the best part ever laid to film by a European rider.
There's so many highlights: Sue Hazel's appearance from retirement is brilliant - all old school street skating, vintage competition footage and retro mini ramp sessions. There's also some huge and incredible vert ramp aerial skills - accompanied with a huge grin, tonnes of stylish street sections and some British comedy moments to match.
Keep reading to watch the first section teaser and for info on how to buy..
