Skateboarding (probably) won’t make you rich, but it can definitely make you rich in experiences. Case in point: What other job would randomly fly you to Mardi Gras to party and interview Nora?
When Adidas asked if we might be interested in the idea as a way to promote her new shoe colorway, we quickly agreed as neither Nora or ourselves had ever been to New Orleans and were curious to check out one of the biggest parties of the year.
With additional help from Philly (New Orleans native & Owner of Humidity Skate Shop) as a host and tour guide, we headed down to ride the wave of parties, film an interview with Nora while she was injured, and learn from the locals.

I love it. A woman telling the industry and also Jamie Thomas, to man the fuck up! Amen!
Marissa put out such great footage and it’s such a shame she was treated as a 3rd class citizen.
There are tons of young girls and women who will support the female skaters. It’s a whole untapped market. A fucking gold mine. I hope Nora gets a gold grill, huge Cuban link chains, iced out bugattis, yachts, homes in different area codes.. the works baby! Bow down to a bad ass bitch! Theres a new chief in town!

2nd class would be male amateurs that are championed and fully supported and respected.

Nora continues to be the best – skateboarding is in good hands with her and K. White.
