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

August 29, 2023 No Comments

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.

We next high-tail it straight to the skatepark where Brighton shows us a little of the skate ability which made her the 2018 VPS World Champion, before the devastation of a broken nail sends her in search of comfort eating, Japanese-style.
