Gnarly In Pink

Short Documentary

Tutus. Nail Polish. Princesses. These words aren’t typically associated with skateboarding, but after being introduced to The Pink Helmet Posse, you’ll think twice. This fantastical short invites you into the world of three very girly-girls as they push themselves and each other to succeed and thrive in a sport dominated by guys. Given that by the age of 14 girls are twice as likely to drop out of sports as boys, Bella, Sierra, and Relz drop-in, carve and shred their way across gender barriers with the hope of one day going pro.
