Good Luck With That: A Podcast About Skateboarding
A weekly show centered on women and gender-expansive skateboarding, highlighting past, present, and future stories that rarely get the mic. Part cultural record, part real-time news brief, and part holding space for harder-to-hear truths where context and nuance can live.

This week, Annie joins GLWT.
Olympian, community builder, and president of Canada Skateboard. We get into how she found skateboarding, the Montreal scene, and her master’s thesis We’re Not In It For The Money — breaking skateboarding into three camps: Nostalgics, Pragmatics, and Promoters. And why the IOC is reminding everyone exactly why we loved DIY culture in the first place.
We hit the headlines too....
Jill Perkins joins GLWT. Every skater's favorite snowboarder.From Rookie of the Year to Rider of the Year. We get into what that ride actually looks like up close. The work, the slams, and the mental weight of doing it at the highest level. Then it gets real. Accountability, speaking up, and what happens when the industry decides looking the other way is easier.

We hit the week’s headlines. World Skate Brazil delivered a full Japanese podium sweep, something no one was ready for (except Japan). Phoenix Am, Slappy, May I Have This Dance, Lau Willems, Love and Unity, and whispers of an ASICS women’s project. Then: XGL.A new league structure lands in skateboarding, bringing big promises and bigger questions. Who benefits? Who gets left out? And is this actually what skateboar...
Vitória Mendonça is having a moment. Fresh off Women’s Skater of the Year at Brazil’s STU Awards and a new part in Element’s Search video, Vitória joins GLWT to talk about growing up in Campo Grande, Brazil, moving to São Paulo to be in the mix, turning pro in the middle of absolute Copenhagen Open chaos, and buying her mom a house in the same year.We get into Brazil’s skate scene...
We’ve got Nicole Hause Pro skater, co-founder of Loop Hardware, and host of the No Big Deal podcast - calling in from Miami, mid–Freedom Tour.
We talk skating, starting over, living out of a suitcase, and the personal growth that happens when you stop doing what everyone else wants you to do. Plus: a few stories from the Nicole + Nora roommate era and her signature skill: making a moment… including a knee-sli...
Skateboarding is classified by the Olympics as an “acrobatics + combat” sport — which is both terrifying and… kind of accurate.
This week, Ashley Rehfeld is joined by Mimi Knoop and Alex White on the sports desk to unpack: Brazil World Skate prep, SLS results, whether skateboarding is a sport or just athletic anarchy, and why the future can hold both street culture and re...
We’re back from winter break. Lunar New Year timing, so technically we’re early. (Sure.)
This week, Ashley Rehfeld, Nora Vasconcellos, and Alex White catch up on what the group text could not contain: a terrifying stalker situation that sent Nora into the court system, the surreal task of reading your comment section to a judge, and the safety cost of when your job requires having a public life online.
We ...
This week on Good Luck With That, Ashley sits down with Natalie Porter — skateboarder, librarian, historian, and author of Girl Gangs, Zines & Power Slides: A History of Badass Women Skateboarders.
Natalie’s work spans more than two decades of research documenting women’s skateboarding history not as a footnote, but as a through-line. We talk about rage as fuel, the power of self-documentation, why every g...
This week, it’s a host-only catch-up that accidentally turns into a State of the Union for women’s progression across everything: skateboarding, surfing, and the weird new reality where the podium is basically a youth movement.
Nora takes us inside Kelly Slater’s Surf Ranch (secret-ish Red Bull project, plus a quick detour into Blue Crush lore and why “Pipeline&rs...
Live from La Paloma Theater during Exposure weekend, we time-travel through the heroic history of women’s skate contests from the 1960s to 2025: babysitting offers instead of sponsors, Judi Oyama bombing hills at 70, CB era, winning a car and immediately crashing it, X Games walkouts, equal pay fights, All Girl Skate Jam, WOF, Exposure, the absolute stunning fashion of it all, and so much more. It’s an appreciation lett...
We talk Down Straight Up! Vol. 4, van-trip politics, period reality, elbow chic, superstitions, starting LOOP Hardware, and why “trust the skater” is the whole business plan. More women in the van, more clips, more money. Wild, right?

Welcome to Good Luck With That, a weekly podcast about women and gender-expansive skateboarding, hosted by Ashley Rehfeld, Nora Vasconcellos, Alex White, and Mimi Knoop.
In our very first episode, we talk about why this space matters. We get into Exposure, the rise of the tween prodigies, and the absolutely unhinged things we’ve all done in the name of “opportunities,” and wha...
