Beatrice Domond: Enriching and challenging skateboarding’s narrative

If you didn't know, D_b_ Journey makes some of the best bags for skateboarding and travel out there. They also produce some really great video pieces too. Here's the latest: A Pack Heavy Chase Light profile of Beatrice Domond. Spend some time with her in her adopted home of New York City and see how she navigates the Big Apple as a pro skateboarder as well as her other creative pursuits.

"Beatrice Domond was the first woman to earn a spot on Supreme’s skate team and the first black female Vans rider to have her own signature shoe. The word impressive just doesn’t cut it. Skateboarding influences every facet of who Beatrice is as a person– she eats, sleeps and breathes life on four wheels. It transcends everything she does, from the art she creates and absorbs to the music she listens to, to the clothes she wears – the latter mainly because she wants to be comfortable when she rides. She’s a brilliantly laid-back human, so kick back and relax to one of the chillest PHCL episodes we’ve got.

Season 3 of Pack Heavy, Chase Light sees us venture out into the world (again) to bring you a deep dive into the heads of the people we look up to. In this series, we have conversations with photographers, marketers, skaters, surfers, climbers, creatives and snowboards and ask them ‘Why’. Why have they made the decisions they made? Why do they do the sports they do and why did they pursue the careers they have? Hallvard (Producer) and Sam (Creator) are back at it. Yes, they got their bags pinched in Barcelona, experienced an earthquake in NYC and skied an active volcano in Portland, but would they change anything? Absolutely not."
