video: Can You Kickflip? A new women's skateboard documentary film by Alex Wise

After a few years under the radar, women's skating is getting the cinema attention it deserves. Firstly the ground breaking documentary The History Of Women's Skating is set to be released this year (pending permitting), and then Rogue Skateboards Mega Mission tour film was out in December 08. Now, the latest from ex-pro skater Alex White, Can You Kickflip? is the latest, made as part of her thesis while at Loyola Marymount University, but nothing short of professional.

Watch it in full - for free - after the jump...

Website of the week: The Side Project - made over

the Side project website week skateboard

I'm resurrecting the long neglected Website Of the Week feature on Nollie, starting with another Lazurus-like story: the relaunched The Side Project.

Dedicated to female skating, building a community and promoting the sport, the site was originally redesigned in September - but was hacked in early November, with owner/filmer/photographer/skater Lisa Whitaker losing everything. But, it's now back, with a clean design, added videos and galleries, plus the original news, interviews, blog and forum features.

Rad reading: how surf ettiquette can save your life

Surf_ettiquette_girls_guide

Need to brush up on your board riding manners? Then learn by heart the top ten rules of surf etiquette, written by Me-Shell Mijangos of SwellWomen surf camps, currently on Girls Learn To Ride. Her nuggets of polite wisdom are just as precious inland as in the sea. Here's her top five for a taster:-

Rule 1. No Dropping In. 
“Dropping in” in on another surfer is one of the worst surfing crimes you can commit. Dropping in is where there is a surfer on a wave already and you hop up on the wave in front of her. If there is a surfer on a wave already, the wave is hers, unless she falls off her surfboard or pulls out of the wave.

This surf etiquette rule reminds us that in life we should respect and honor other people’s choices in their life’s purpose. As long as others are safe and not harming others, we should not get in front of them and take their dream (waves). Allow each person to choose her life’s path and enjoy her ride. Everyone deserves the passage of a smooth journey to arrive at his or her dream destination.
