OK, Sherborne’s one and only gangsteress, Maria Falbo has hooked herself up with Adrian Lopez’s Rock Star Bearings multi-national skate team, alongside the likes of Evelien Bouilliart and Louisa Menke.

Deeside’s vert skater Lil’Rebecca Aimee Davies has signed up with Rubicon Skateboards, where she’ll be getting involved in developing their girl specific brand “Skater Girl.”
