Meet Lisa, the queen of concrete, the matriarch of manuals, and the sultana of skate! With over 30 years of experience in skateboarding and longboarding, Lisa has been kick-pushing her way through life since the age of six. As the leading writer for skateboardride.com, she’s dedicated to sharing her passion, wisdom, and occasional faceplants with the world.
Raised by a pack of wild skater boys, Lisa first learned to ollie before she could tie her shoes. Known for her signature move, “The Flying Grandma,” she’s shredded every ramp, park, and halfpipe in her hometown and beyond, leaving her mark on the skateboarding world (and quite a few skid marks on the pavement).
When Lisa’s not busy writing epic articles or out-grinding the next generation of skaters, she can be found rescuing stray boards from garage sales or perfecting her homemade skate wax recipe – a concoction she swears is the secret to her seemingly endless supply of steez.
Lisa’s love for skateboarding has seen her travel the globe, teaching her dog, Ollie, to master the kickflip, and even convincing her 90-year-old grandmother to drop in on a mini ramp (true story!). With her unwavering enthusiasm, penchant for puns, and endless supply of funny anecdotes, Lisa Jaspers is truly a one-of-a-kind skater keeping skateboardride.com rolling with style.
So, buckle up and join Lisa on this wild ride through the world of skateboarding, where the grip tape is always fresh, the trucks are never too tight, and the wheels never stop spinning!
