Catch da Flava Radio - Babes Brigade
For our April 10th edition of Catch da
Flava Youth Radio, host Diamond sat down with the lovely and
energetic Resident Babe, Stephanie Battieste who created the
all-girls skateboarding group Babes Brigade. Stephanie was so excited
to share all about her skateboarding group and what it does to bring
new life to the skateboard scene. With a background in graphic design
and fashion, Stephanie increasingly found more interest in
skateboarding and started to post on social media when she would be
out at the skate park, inviting and interested friends to come along.
She subsequently developed a following that grew into Babes Brigade,
a fun space for girls to gather and skateboard.
When asked why she wanted to create
Babes Brigade, Stephanie said that whenever she went to the skate
park, she often saw other girls there intimidated to be one of the
few girls there in the skate park. Having girls together creates
confidence for them to gather around and really learn the tricks of
skate and learn how to do it even better. Best of all, she has a
great wealth of knowledge when it comes to skateboarding, teaching
lessons for girls on how to skateboard and having competitions for
skateboarding. She’s learned that the all-girls culture has a
different vibe and really helps girls that are going into the
skateboard scene. She’s run down the technical aspects of it, what
will be taught in skateboarding foundations like having balance and
the right body posture to be successful in developing the skill.
We’d like to thank our wonderful
guest Stephanie for coming on air to talk about the Babes Brigade and
the extremely fun and cool way to get in more sports and exercise.
