Lizzie Armanto joins us in the studio for Chapter 391 of Gypsy Tales. Lizzie is one of the most influential skateboarders of her generation, helping pave the way for women in skateboarding while building an incredible career of her own. From filming iconic parts with Thrasher Magazine and landing the cover of Thrasher, to turning pro with Birdhouse Skateboards, working alongside Tony Hawk, and creating her signature shoe with Vans, Lizzie has helped change what’s possible for women in skateboarding. She’s even been featured in Vogue, showing how far skate culture has reached beyond the streets. In this Chapter, Lizzie talks about her journey through skateboarding, the evolution of women’s skateboarding, launching YEPA helmets with Tony Hawk, and what it really takes to build a career in skateboarding.
