Hey! Crap Skateboarders! Have you ever tried skating vert? No? Us neither.

However, not all skateboarders are as old, frail, or cowardly as we are, and one of those on the brave end of our skateboarding spectrum is the wonderful Jasmine Gordon, a sponsored vert skater who rides for Artemis Clothing, Was That Switch Skateboards and Altar Skateshop.

In this week's episode, Jasmine (herself a skateboarder of only two years, despite her clear talent!) makes the case for more newcomers, particularly women, to get involved in vert skateboarding in order to keep it alive. Expertly, she squashes our fears with real, tangible advice for anyone who has ever wanted to give vert a go, but just couldn't quite pluck up the courage. Jasmine also delves into the world of Vert Skating in the UK, singing the praises of the UK competitive circuit which she has recently become involved in.
