SKATE DREAMS

NYC PREMIERE In the counterculture world of skateboarding, gender bias still looms over professional female skaters. In spite of systemic barriers, legends Mimi Knoop and Cara-Beth Burnside blazed a trail for a new crop of stars like Nora Vascocellos, Nicole Hause, Tin Kouv and Jessyka Bailey. The decades-long fight for gender equity and respect encouraged a groundswell of support to bring women’s skateboarding to our televisions, to the Olympics, and beyond. – Brandon Harrison
