Checking In With Olympic Skateboarder Amelia Brodka.

Arbor Skateboards :: Amelia Brodka - Baba Yaga

Drawing energy from the Slavic Boogeyman, Baba Yaga, Amelia Brodka releases a new video part along with a well-deserved pro deck. Arbor builds on her legacy of radiant positivity, community leadership, and raw passion for skateboarding. Her shape blends modern street and classic pool shapes, while the graphic draws on her Polish roots with an homage to the legend of Baba Yaga.

Amelia's skateboarding journey started with the simple act of rolling down the driveway with her brother. Now she is getting ready to head to Tokyo, Japan, to represent Poland as skateboarding makes its Olympic debut. Her passion and leadership continues off the board, as she co-founded the non-profit, Exposure Skate, to empower women through skateboarding.
