Disco 🪩 Helmet!

After bashing in my helmet 💥 and being inspired by @tyler_elise I quickly messaged @charlierowen AKA creative queen and we got to work 😅

Stay tuned to see the new glitter ball bopping’ around the track at some point (although it is very heavy!) 🪩

Maybe I should get that “don’t walk, boogie” tattoo I was planning all along 🕺

Some musings on coming back to the gram, courage and vulnerability, sharing joy and I’ll answer why there’s a trampoline in my house at a later date 🙃

And this is the quote inspired by @brenebrown in case you’d like it in full: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly” - Theodore Roosevelt

Some lovely chats the other day with the gals @bristolgirlslongboard ✨🧞‍♀️

📸captured by the very talented @jonathancherry

Bestie @sonia.dances is healing from an operation 🩺 and I thought what better time to whip out these crackers and make her laugh more when she’s not supposed to 🤣

May we forever chat tech, drink copious amounts of tea, laugh and until we cry and make complete fools of ourselves at EVERY skate spot 🫠

2 months working at @vandemlongboardshop 🛹🧰

How to summarise🤷🏼‍♀️
As Rich says, we’re just here to learn new things and have fun along the way and how lucky am I to be able to talk to really smart and interesting people every day about longboards 🤩

To think I’m the first girl to work in a longboard shop is pretty awesome and every day a woman walks in the shop or over the phone tells me how refreshing it is. I see it in our sales too, ~50% of our sales now go to women and I know how much our work for @longboardgirlscrewuk and @bristolgirlslongboard has made a difference 🥹

I have to remind myself that a year ago I was in my attic room in the corporate tech consultant life, hitting rock bottom - I’d broken my foot on New Year’s Eve, my ex-bf’s mum had died suddenly 4 days later, I’d watched my grandma fracture her skull falling down the stairs and Halle 🐶 got really sick and more and more shit 💩 hit the fan in just a 3 month period.
SO I re-wrote the story & completely changed EVERYTHING. I wrote on my desk “have courage” & it set me on a next level path that’s for sure ⚡️✨

Now I get to combine tech consulting ➕ longboards ➕teaching yoga ➕ @bristolgirlslongboard ➕ @longboardgirlscrew ➕@pushforwardfest planning…
(it’s hectic but I wouldn’t change a thing🙃)

From summer events seeing the shop filled with people and creativity to filming new videos and making our own music for them 🎷 (watch this space!!!!👀);
Every day you see the impact each idea has on a small business and it’s so rewarding!

The added bonus being that we have an amazing community in the business park of other creative people and we make massive salads 🥗 together every day for lunch 😻 Joe on drums, Jon the maker of all things, Dan @danabelmusic producer extraordinaire, the potters, the fancy coffee ☕️ roasters (it’s a melting pot of awesome people!).

Halle 🐶 quickly became the shop dog and won every customer round with an unsolicited lick to the leg 😅

Most importantly thank you Matt and Rich for being the best team ever 💎

The best hidden skate spot in all of Central America ✨

Driving past the runway on the way to @fincaelzopilote I’d never seen smoother tarmac 😱 An active volcano on one side and the lake on the other!

I started to plot my adventure, asking my local friends in the kitchen if planes come & go, everyone said no 🙏 So 3 hitch hikes and 1.5 hrs later I sneaked onto the runway 🫢

It’s important to note that at this point, I’d carried my longboard around Central America for four months and living in the jungle meant I had to grab every opportunity I could!

I pushed up and down, heard the dreaded whistle & saw the security guard running towards me. Thank god I’m fluent in Spanish & at this point with a new Nicaraguan slang because we made great friends & he invited me back 🤙

Someone said to me the other day if you could make a 1 minute trailer for your life what would it look like? So here’s my first shot 😂

So I suppose it’s not taking things too seriously, skating, yoga, music, dancing and I can 100% say I LOVE THIS CRAZY RIDE ✨

This week has been a whirlwind, I’ve had severe food poisoning which I thought was appendicitis and I’ve just twisted my ankle again of the foot I broke last year so I think the universe is saying take a moment godammit 😂
Again my social media love hate relationship strikes again so may not post again for a month or maybe tomorrow, just keeping you on your toes 🤦🏼‍♀️💩

Some lovely snaps from a little while back in Glasgow, seemed a shame not to post 💎

POV: you haven’t seen your sister @ashleighlouisedavis for 7 months and haven’t been away just the two of you in over 5 years 😱

Some absolute comedy moments in here! Also there’s nothing more beautiful than the UK in spring 🍄☀️🌸

I’ve sat down to write this caption many times and struggled with the question “how was yoga teacher training?”, where do I even begin to summarise…I thought it might be easier to instead write some revelations ✨

🔶 Just because you think there are enough yoga teachers in the world does not mean your experience doesn’t deserve to take place and allow yourself to bring your style and knowledge to others. I am capable of creating MAGIC, whether that’s in a yoga class, creating community, building tech solutions or dancing until my heart sings.

🔷 My dharma/purpose is to bring joy (I have been told over the last year countless times “you’ve bought such joy to the trip / group / class ; your energy is infectious ; you have such a light soul”…well universe, I got the message loud and clear 💛

Thank you to my teachers @hayatiyoga and Sonia, without whom I would never have seen the magic that can be created through yoga and for inspiring me from the beginning. Thank you to @amasercr for holding a beautiful space for change and learning, thank you to @caribeyogaacademy and especially @avanigilbertyoga for putting together the most brilliant course and for teaching from the heart. To the faculty @edgaryogix , @amalayoga108 , @adri_kamala , @goddessawakeningyoga @ryannjoseph_ @motherearthmovements and @clarasvane , you each inspired me so much with your unique styles and passion for yoga.

And this quote I have carried in my wallet for years and I keep coming back to it to remind myself when I’m making mahooosive changes and shattering long held beliefs. Perhaps it helps you too: “true power is living the realisation that you are your own healer, hero, and leader”, Yung Pueblo. We truly do have all the answers we need within us already, we just have to listen.

Flung myself at the 2 hands glove down and by chance rotated out of it, best day ever 🙏😱
It feels so good to be able to do multiple slides in a row now 💥
Onto the standups and to perfect the Colemans….then I might feel more ready to hit the hills with the badass gals in Costa Rica next month @longboardgirlscrewcr 🙌

Longboards & sunsets, what more do you need in life…✨

The dreamiest spot whilst at @the_longboard_camp in Santa Cruz a few weeks back. Barefoot longboarding is a game changer but it’s also scarier than it looks!

🎥Massive thanks to @amiierracle

Some happy lines on my final skate day at @the_longboard_camp 🌞

Massive thanks to camera man supreme 🎥 @shawn2nd for giving me the push I needed to DANCE and go big with my movements 🫶🏼 Thanks as well to my INCREDIBLE teachers Will @wanka_skate and Phil @philipptreeman, you guys are gems 💎 See you for a skate soon 🍄

Final shoutout to @pake_longboards for this dreamy setup I was able to borrow… @jak.galli you’re a wizard! 🧙‍♂️

I cracked one hand toe side Colemans 💥

What an epic sesh in the rain this eve, it was like a light 💡 went off and everything clicked! I couldn’t have done it without profs 👨‍🏫 @jooz_vandem_hughes and @rob_borek nor without my slide sistas/hype women @bintinlaye @sonia.dances @tillyworlidge

🎥: Massive thanks to @georgeluck for sitting in the rain to capture these moments!

Sliding down the tips here in case I lose them 😅
- eyes up and where you want to go
- raise right arm and turn shoulders
- use back foot to give a nudge into the slide!
- transfer your weight after the slide
- always try and keep going after the slide

I love mixing ballet and other dancing with longboarding, there’s no better feeling!

There is no better feeling than flying round the pump track ✨

Massive thanks to @rob_borek for the follow cam 🎥 and for making my face hurt smiling 🙏🌞

Some drone footage of me in my element whilst in Liverpool captured by the talented @capturesbyrosie 😘

Creatrix goddess power ✨🫶🏼

A few snaps from Spain last month, a gentle reminder to myself 🌸

It’s impossible not to dance when you hear @lizzobeeating 😇🪩🕺

🎥 @sonia.dances 💛💙

Dream team ✨

It’s taking a while to fully process the enormity of the impact Barcelona had on me (& we haven’t even released the film yet!). Behind the scenes we’re still firing on all cylinders and it feels like we’re on the brink of something magical 🪄

Happiness captured 📸 between Kinga and I…probably laughing about me trying to get her to do stupid stuff with a broken ankle 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

These water moments got so much love in the insta stories they deserved their own reel. Some comedy gold, get these girls a golden globe please 😂😂😂😂

Key takeaways:
✅ always try to fit a minimum of 3 on a SUP board
✅ (note to self, don’t make weird noises when you run across hot sand 😂)
✅ normal is overrated and providing entertainment for the whole of Barcelona beach with no shame is the only way forward
✅ it’s possible to strangle your team mate with your thighs mid-fight…perhaps don’t forget about them 😂
✅ launching like a flying squirrel is the only way
✅ tie the boards together and try to run the length, if you win you buy the pints 🍻 (next challenge gals)
✅ @valeriakechichian has secret skills we didn’t know about

Putting myself out of my comfort zone and entering in dance comps makes me like jelly, my imposter syndrome is at an all time high and I always forget everything I know….but I remind myself it’s all for FUN and contrary to popular belief we don’t have to be any good at our hobbies, we can simply do them for the enjoyment!

Some fun snaps from the Sunday session we ran in Barcelona, hopefully seeing girls of all levels competing inspired others to get out there and do the same 🫶🏼

Barcelona beach never saw anything quite like it 😂🫶🏼 No more words needed 🤦🏼‍♀️

Second picture really made me laugh, I think he’s like….errr you’re meant to push it 😂

UK 🇬🇧 girls represent @longboardgirlscrewuk 🌟

What an absolute please to organise and attend the @longboardgirlscrew European Ambassadors meet-up in Barcelona, Spain and make our next LGC documentary! We had 25 riders from 12 different countries and infinite good vibes 🫶🏼 Stay tuned for the documentary release!

Imi @that_chick_imi had only just joined the team a day or so before and already we felt like we’d skated together years!
Kinga @powerpufftravel had a broken foot (and enough metal to make her bionic 🦾) - what she lacks in current mobility she makes up for in photography skills ✨
Georgia’s @georgeluck one foot nose manuals are soon to reach 20 seconds (I kid you not)! Also Org team member of dreams 👊
As for me @daniellecharlottedavis …it’s hard to write about yourself 😅

When @aiz.t_longboard and I realised our Charleston shuffle might work on the board we had to try it! 💡

Give it a go and tag us to show us how you get on!

🎥: Creative process in action captured by @georgeluck

I’m not very good at posing so luckily I’ve got a Kinga who just tells me to dance 🫶🏼

Here’s your reminder to skate in a dress - best feeling ever 😂 Who’s with me?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

This song 🎶 has been stuck in my head and driving me crazy so a little reel of some basic longboard dancing steps while warming up the other day in Hyde park with the girls 💜
