"Work in skateboarding is an educational video website that shows the diversity of jobs in skateboarding, their accessibility and how similar roles can apply to other sport industries.

It’s going to be a resource for kids who are beginning to plan their career paths and are unaware of all the different job options within skateboarding.

The main goal of the website is to invest in the next generation of skateboarding, nurturing their growth and creativity and supplying them with information they can use to become a part of the industry." - Samantha Chami

This awesome idea and resource still needs help becoming a reality, for more info and ways you can help visit indiegogo.com/workinskateboardingwebsite.

The Alliance is looking for the best up and coming female street skateboarders! We know girls are out there skating and progressing in their hometowns, so we want to see your best footage! The top 3 entries will win special "behind the scenes" passes to the 2012 X Games Women’s Street contest (held during June 28th - July 1, 2012). The lucky lady with the top judged video gets to skate with the pros in the official women's street practice the week leading up to X Games! X Games is synonymous with GOING BIG! With the largest prize purse in women's skating history, this is the premiere skate contest for the ladies of street. The winners will be carefully chosen by our official X Games street selection committee. Good luck!

"We recently caught up with Alliance Board Member, Lisa Whitaker to ask her about her new and improved website, the "Girls Skate Network". Lisa originally launched thesideproject.com in 2003 to feature her all-female skate videos. Over the years it expanded into a social network where girls from all over the world shared their pictures, footage, and opinions- hence the newly acquired name, girlsskatenetwork.com."
