In 1998 Patty Segovia created the annual All Girl Skate Jam, the first all girl skateboard event with a prize purse for the girls. Its inclusive philosophy was reflected in its motto : “All ages, all abilities, all girls.”
The AGSJ now tours nationally and internationally, uniting pro and amateur girls from around the world to skate competitively and have fun. Events have since been run from the North Shore of Oahu to San Sebastion, Spain.
On September 12th 1998, the All Girl Skate Jam went down at the Escondido Sports Center (Vans-Union Bay) in San Diego, California. Here are the results from that piece of history, you’ll recognise a few names:
