Lizzie Armanto joins us in the studio for Chapter 391 of Gypsy Tales. Lizzie is one of the most influential skateboarders of her generation, helping pave the way for women in skateboarding while building an incredible career of her own. From filming iconic parts with Thrasher Magazine and landing the cover of Thrasher, to turning pro with Birdhouse Skateboards, working alongside Tony Hawk, and creating her signature shoe with Vans, Lizzie has helped change what’s possible for women in skateboarding. She’s even been featured in Vogue, showing how far skate culture has reached beyond the streets. In this Chapter, Lizzie talks about her journey through skateboarding, the evolution of women’s skateboarding, launching YEPA helmets with Tony Hawk, and what it really takes to build a career in skateboarding.Gypsy Gang enjoy this chapter and remember to like and subscribe so you never miss a new drop!-00:00:00 Intro 00:02:31 What drew Lizzie Armanto to Skate Boarding 00:13:31 Loving the Process of Skating and Learning New Tricks 00:17:35 The Artistry of Lizzie's Skating 00:24:59 The First Tricks Lizzie Mastered 00:30:49 Lizzies Late Start in Skating 00:37:39 What the World Has Exposed Us To 00:41:47 Finding the Positives in Life 00:49:46 Fist Handwear Ad 00:51:11 The Biggest Injury of Lizzie's Career 01:04:56 How Important Visualization Is to Action Sports Athletes 01:12:35 Finding the Positive in the Hardest Moments 01:15:41 Lizzie Armonto on Skating in the Olympics 01:24:13 Being a Girl Growing up in Skate Culture 01:29:47 Lizzies Parents Influence on Her Life 01:43:47 Dixxon Flannel Ad 01:49:11 The love of Competition 01:54:04 Traveling the World Skating 02:00:14 When Skating Become Lizzies Career! 02:09:16 Lizzie Armonto Fire 02:18:29 Lizzie turns Pro 02:26:08 Becoming a Monster Athlete 02:31:05 Moving Across California 02:33:06 Grateful to be Skating 02:39:27 Vans The Lizzie 02:51:25 Cash App Ad 02:59:33 Lizzies Best Years are Ahead 03:08:02 LA Home Remodel - Domino Lizzie Armonto 03:16:31 YEPA - Lizzie Armonto and Tony Hawks Brand 03:26:59 Thank you Lizzie Armonto -Monster Energy 🟢https://www.monsterenergy.com/en-us/🧤 FIST HANDWEAR: http://www.fisthandwear.com CODE: GYPSYGANG for 15% off👕 DIXXON x Gypsy Tales Flannel🇺🇸 US: https://www.dixxon.com/products/gypsy-tales-flannel🇦🇺 AUS: https://www.dixxon.com.au/collections/new-releases/products/gypsy-tales-flannel💵 CASH APPKeep your money secureUse code SECURE10https://cash.app/ Shop YEPA, the helmet brand created by skate legends Tony Hawk and Lizzie Armantohttps://yepabrand.com/🛒 Shop Gypsy Tales merch: https://us.gypsy-tales.shop/🎙 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: https://www.youtube.com/@gypsytalespodcast?sub_confirmation=1📸 FOLLOW GYPSY TALES ON INSTAGRAM: @gypsytalespodcast📩 Business Inquiries: [email protected] Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
