Are you female? Do you ride longboards? Do you want to skate with other women in a closed-road environment? Do you want to progress your skills and have an awesome time riding with amazing new people? Well, www.womenlongboardcamp.com have just the thing for you!!
Here is a message they sent us about the services that they offer.
The board sports enthusiasts at WLC have carved out a niche organising events specifically for women. Last year saw the first event of this kind, a five-day longboarding event in sunny Slovenia, dedicated to the practice of skateboarding, from downhill to sliding to dancing. The camp was a tremendous success and sparked interest all around the world– a sign that there’s plenty of women keen to get on board out there. The WLC crew aim to create a relaxed, non-competitive and non-judgemental atmosphere, giving participants the opportunity to explore their limits in a safe environment under experienced, hands-on guidance. The complete package caters for anybody from total beginner to the more seasoned rider and includes a daily yoga practice to round off a well-designed event schedule. Due to high demand, two camps will take place in 2013, this time in the beautiful surroundings of Alsace, France. The events will take place from May 12-17 and May 19-24 respectively.

Question; “What is Longboarding?”
Answer: This…
Get Rad in 2013!
2011 Compilation: Part 2 from SkateHouseMedia.com on Vimeo.
WHISTLER DOWNHILL!!!!
This track looks intensely fun to race on, with cheeky kinks and plenty of overtaking room. Holding a fast line is the key to success on this course.
The images captured by the cable-mounted video camera on this track are unparalleled in capturing every moment of a race. I love this hill, I love the filming style and I love the downhill action. Watch this, get stoked!
Set for release in Feburary 2013, Orangatang have once again released a new freeride wheel: The MORONGA!
This one comes with a narrow contact patch to reduce speed loss through slides and the tried and tested Otang ‘thane formula so you know that they will be nice and buttery!
Check out the link below for more details.
2013 holds great possibilities for all UK skaters as the days are getting longer, the roads getting drier our wallets recovering from Christmas. As time goes on, the stoke will build and, on the back of this energy surge, I’m sure a lot of you will be planning trips to freerides and races inside and outside the UK.
If you haven’t been on a skate trip somewhere with your local crew, I strongly urge you to get out and get it done this year. Not only will your skating improve, you will have amazing experiences and, best of all, you’ll get to chill out and shred with your mates!
Here is a video of some well-known UK faces shredding some Euro hills back in 2011 (I think) and also showing an insight into the travelling and partying lifestyle that goes hand in hand with Downhill. Get out there, get stoked.

Steezy, Steezy, Steezy!! Check out those switch toeside slides… gosh! Jimmy Rhia Killin’ it.
Today’s lesson boys and girls – is how to bust out some stylish switch heelside checks!
Matt Bates is a heavily sponsored rider for Lush, Cult, Hopkin, Dekine and a few others and it’s clear why. He can shred the hills just as hard as he can schralp a schoolyard.
Check out this latest video of him!
This video encapsulates my favourite elements of longboarding; landscapes, no hands down road slaying, travelling with friends and, of course, Marisa Nunez.
2013 is a big year ahead of us all, make sure that you make every effort to skate new places and progress your skills as much as you can. Most of all, keep yourself stoked!
I also found this picture from the Snake Skeleton downhill, it speaks for itself really and it gives me goosebumps just thinking about riding like they are. Chargin’ !
Many of you may have heard of Oliver Slaughter and the videos he produces of him and his friends’ adventures on longboards. Here is the latest two of his videos from his trip with the Newton’s Shred family to the ‘Peyragudes Never Dies’ race in the Pyrenees.
Keep an eye out for the familiar faces of Josh Monk, Kami San, Shaine Fourie and Oliver Slaughter shredding with the big guns of downhill skateboarding. Josh crashing at 60mph, Oliver trying to footbreak and squirt a waterpistol backwards have to be my two favourite clips of the series.
The landscapes captured in the Pyrenees are incredible, the riding is tight and the videos leave you pumped to go riding! UKDH!

Part 2:
Sheepy hill was a downhill gem in the heart of Wales, a hill with about half a mile of downhill into 2 switchbacks, one tricky left and a final tight right-hander that spat you out onto a gnarly bridge. The hill is surrounded by soft ferns that almost makes crashing a delight and it can be spotted by the rider from the top as you can see the next few miles of road and traffic conditions. The road was resurfaced with a classic Welsh pebble-dash coat to everyone’s horror in 2011 rendering the hill unrideable. Gradually the road has been compacted down and worn back down to its former glory (so reports have said) and it looks like a trip to Wales will be back on the cards for 2013!
This race gets me all nostalgic for the UK scene. MK-II Longboards were in their heyday, Turn360 were hiring lifeguards to paddle pintails around the south Walesian towns, Newton’s Shred were relatively new kids on the block and hi-viz was all the rage. Dave Martin even skated downhill!!
Skip to 3:15 of the video below to see how the hill got its name.
UK Shredder for Original Skateboards Sam Holding has just released this 2012 edit and it’s frickin’ gnarly! Sam is clearly at the high end of the UK talent with editing skills to match! Teamed up with the perfect song choice, this is a must watch 5 minutes of skating excellence.
You probably saw this earlier and, like me, did a little bit of wee. Liam Morgan totally shreds in this promo edit for Caliber Trucks. Now you all watch this while I check Virgin Airlines for the cost of flights to San Francisco. Who’s with me? I’ll see if I can get a group discount and just check we can take our boards as carry-ons……
