There are many amazing contributions to the\u00a0skate world that can be attributed to the Vans legacy and the Vans Girls Skate Jam is yet another brick in the Off The Wall tradition. The Girls Skate Jam celebrates the expressions and sessions of girl skaters across all ages, and encourages skater girls to come out and show skills, learn and teach others.<\/p>\n

The skate world has always had a heavy relationship with its culture and music, and The Kills will be at both the Chicago Girls Skate Jam and the Brooklyn Girls Skate Jam performing and rocking rad vibes!<\/p>\n

These events will help cultivate and strengthen the girls skate movement and believe me it\u2019s definitely happening. Girls of all ages are doing everything from grinds to kickflips to 540s, and the ongoing progression is rolling at sonic speed! If you have the opportunity to get there, I suggest you take advantage of these killer events.<\/p>\n
