Full episode info and show notes: www.wearelookingsideways.com My episode 014 guest is Lucy Adams - pro skateboarder, chair of Skateboard England and one of the most respected and positive presences in UK skateboarding. Lucy has been a tirelessly upbeat presence in UK skateboarding for years now, whether through the efforts she’s made to make skateboarding more accessible for girls through her She-Shredders coaching classes, or through her visibility as one of the most high profile female skateboarders out there. She’s also celebrating twenty years in the game with a pro model on long-term sponsor Lovenskate, and a new video part, so it seemed the perfect time to meet and discuss her life and career. It’s a very honest and moving chat this one, so big ups to Lucy for her hospitality and openness.
