About this listen

This week on Good Luck With That, Ashley sits down with Natalie Porter — skateboarder, librarian, historian, and author of Girl Gangs, Zines & Power Slides: A History of Badass Women Skateboarders.


Natalie’s work spans more than two decades of research documenting women’s skateboarding history not as a footnote, but as a through-line. We talk about rage as fuel, the power of self-documentation, why every generation thinks they’re “the first,” and what it actually takes to preserve culture when the industry won’t do it for you.If you care about skateboarding, culture, history, or who gets remembered, this one matters.Girl Gangs, Zines & Power Slides is available now through indie bookstores and libraries. Explore Natalie’s living archive at womensskatehistory.ca.
