Lucy Adams has spent her life on a skateboard – but it’s her impact off the ramps that’s transforming the sport forever. From being one of only a handful of women in UK skateboarding in the ’90s to leading the charge for equity and inclusion today, Lucy has carved out a path where others once shut the door.

In this raw and inspiring conversation, Lucy shares what it’s really like to break into a male-dominated sport, fight for recognition and push for a future where every girl feels welcome on a skateboard.

In this episode, Lucy reveals:

• The grit it took to thrive in a sport where women were often invisible
• Why representation matters – and what it means to truly belong in skateboarding
• The battles to make skateboarding safer, more accessible, and more inclusive
• How she’s helping rewrite the rules for the next generation of skaters
• The emotional highs and lows of being a pioneer in a sport that wasn’t built for you

From small-town skate parks to global stages, Lucy Adams has paved the way for thousands of women and girls to ride free. This is the story of resilience, rebellion and reshaping a sport for good.
