When I think of a vert ramp – I think wood – Jordan aka extremelife2003 has opened my eyes by sharing this picture of North Houston Skatepark which used to be called Spring Skatepark.
Things really are big in Texas because there’s another large vert ramp at the Downtown Skatepark known as the Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark.
Jordan started skateboarding when she met Christian Hosoi for the first time when she was 5 years old. On her first day, Christian Hosoi was so awesome to ask everyone to step out of the bowl so that he could take her by the hands and roll her back and forth in the bowl.

Jordan’s mom Israel says “It all started when I saw Christian Hosoi ‘s documentary on Showtime Rising Son, “The Legend of Skateboarder Christian Hosoi”, a very moving documentary that any skateboarder should see. I was so moved and inspired by his documentary that I told myself that I just had to meet him, and bring him to Houston, Texas to share his story. It took a while to get him to Houston because Christian was so much in demand then and even now. Since then, Jordan and Christian share a special friendship, he as a mentor for a little girl who aspires to one day be the female version of Christian Hosoi. As you can tell by her wardrobe style. Lol!”
Thanks to Christian’s teaching and watching his video’s – Jordan now loves airs just like him.
One of the biggest compliments that we get is when people ask me when they see her skate, “how old is he?” And when I answer that Jordan is a she, they say, but she skates like a boy! And I say “yes she does”! Israel
I feel blessed that Jordan and her supportive mom Israel shared these pictures and her story with us. Where are you skateboarding? More girls do skateboard as they see girls skateboarding!
I’m actually going to meet Jordan when she comes to EXPOSURE Skate 2015 in Encinitas, CA her board sponsor Hosoi Skateboards is a Silver Sponsor – who else is coming on November 7th? Whether you’re coming or not share your skate pictures because #girlscanskate!

Thank you so much Skatingfashionista for the blog! I am hoping that we are entering a new era with RAD inspiring and exciting SkaterGirls to set the stage for girls and woman’s skateboarding of now and the future! Starting with such Legends like Peggy Oki, and continuing with present legends like Lizzie Armanto and Allysha Bergado. We have also the awesome ladies who are the backbone of women’s skateboarding as Skatingfashionista who blog and share stories in the world of women’s skateboarding and Amelia Brodka of Exposure Skate, who both have taken SkaterGirls to the next level! After speaking with Christian Hosoi, and telling him about Exposure Skate, he quickly gave the go-ahead for Hosoi Skateboards to be a sponsor this year for Exposure Skate! It is awesome when we can involve such legends as Christian Hosoi and Tony Hawk to back women’s skateboarding. As one who has a daughter who skates, my full 110% support goes to all girls skateboarding ! Thank you again Skatingfashionista for your blog and your great support of SkaterGirls all over the world! Blessings!!! ?❤️? @lawyer4life
