A Day in the Life of Brighton Zeuner | FIELD DAY – Red Bull

A self-described ‘colourful mess’, Brighton blew up in Women’s Park skateboarding as a 12-year old winner of Vans Park Series, Malmo back in 2016. A year later, she would win an X-Games gold medal- and her skateboarding career took off. Her own Vans colourway and capsule collection demonstrated her burgeoning interest in fashion, which is where we begin our day in her company as she searches out appropriate ‘fits for Coachella.

A New Approach To Skateboarding With Takahiro Morita | SKATE TALES – Red Bull
