Supergirl Jam video from Explorer Girls




S3 Supergirl Jam, Huntington Beach, CA, July 27 – Day Three wraps up an amazing weekend at the Supergirl Jam in Huntington Beach. It’s been an action-packed three days with the best female athletes pushing the limits and setting the bar in competitive skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding.

There was sweat, blood and possibly a few tears after over 100 of the world’s best tore it up across the many venues set up on the sand around Huntington Beach’s pier. Girls performed their best tricks in the ocean, the skateboarding bowl, street park, vert ramp and rail jam.

Where else in the world can you witness an all-female assault from so many talented women in different action sports in one place. I can’t think of another female dedicated event quite like it.

The S3 Supergirl Jam, only in its second year running, is proving to be a huge success drawing out crowds in the thousands. And, the crowd was a mix of all types, young and old, male and female. This year’s event also ran along side the U.S. Open of Surfing showcasing big talent in the water.

I went the day after I had surgery and was on a lot of pain killers. It's hard to watch and not get to skate when that's all you know. I severed a tendon in my wrist from a skating accident and had to have reconstructive surgery. FUN!!!!

Explorer Girls interviewed me after a couple minutes of skating. It was a great event. Warner Bros. ROCKS and Sk8Grl made the event t-shirts for the third Supergirl event in a row.

Check out this cool video that the Explorer Girls made of all the girls ripping it up!

Zannel interviewed me at the Supergirl Jam/US OPEN. They are a mobile media blog, where you can post picture, video, or text updates from your phone as you’re out and about so fans can follow what you’re up to, and even follow you and leave you comments. There are Zannel widgets on Facebook and Myspace pages so they get updated with posts automatically but could just as easily embed the widget code on a website.
