This week on The Roe Show, I sit down with Seneca Schwartz, a young #GirlFlipper who does a mix between Freestyle Trampoline and Parkour. She talks to me about the role of girls in Freestyle sports. Currently not many women take up these more extreme sports and even though brands and industry leaders would like to see more Girl Flippers, the numbers remain low. The same was true for other freestyle sports such as snowboarding or skateboarding back in the 70’s so it may just be a matter of time until before women feel comfortable in this new space. Seneca talks to me about gender equality and how gym owners can promote equal flipping for men and women. She also talks to me about her nervousness in an all-boys program, which is still the norm today. She has a few great thoughts on how gyms can speed up that process and make the entry for women easier.
Seneca also made a film that was featured on The Film Girl Festival called LIKE A GIRL; a short film on girl empowerment through Parkour and Free running. "LIKE A GIRL is not a representation of who I am. It is the representation of the change we believe we can make...The Future of Female Movement. She has also appeared on a Ted Talks (Tedx Youth @Tokyo) to discuss this strange movement.
