I went to an amazing high school. Gould Academy has a skateboard program.
STOP
Before you think “ew, organized skateboarding,” check out a new part of their program.
The So. Cal Skate Trip takes Gould and non-Gould students from all over the country to skate some of Southern California’s best skate spots.
From private parks to historic street spots, we tried to hit them all last summer.
Check it out:
With a school like that, you can see why I’m excited to travel to Maine to re-visit the campus next weekend.

So while I’ve been huddled away in the editing cave piecing together the documentary, Producer Brian Lynch has been busy filming the Poseiden Foundation’s Oahu Tour.
Micaela Ramirez‘ Poseiden Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring the youth. This tour brought role models such as Cara-Beth Burnside, Jen O’Brien, Abisha Alshebaiki, Heidi Newton, andJen Valenzuelato schools across the island where they gave motivational speeches and skated with the students.
Lizzie Armanto, Allysha Bergado, and Hunter Long also shared their love of skateboarding by joining the Poseiden crew in various meet-and-greets and demos at skateparks all around Oahu.
Check out the teaser filmed & edited by Brian Lynch:
And be on the lookout for the new Underexposed site launching soon…
I have been completely immersed in putting together Underexposed. Filming. Setting up interviews and shoots. Traveling. Logging what must be nearly 100 hours of footage. Editing.
It’s all slowly coming together and it should still be done by May.
DO YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF IT?
If you are a female who happens to love skateboarding, I’d love to see if I can put a clip of you in the film!
Here’s all you have to do:
Send me some clips of you skating and an introduction.
Don’t have any skate clips? At least send over an introduction!
For the introduction all that you have to do is grab a digital camera (or a friend who has one), make sure your face and shoulders are in the frame and say: “Hi my name is _____________ I (something quick about you– play a sport? have a job? what grade are you in?) and I’m a skateboarder”
