We delve into the HUCK archives to revisit our feature on Scottish shred pioneer, Lesley McKenna.
Says McKenna: "It started off as a counter-culture sport with roots in surfing and skateboarding. They’re both traditionally male dominated, being high on adrenalin and testosterone and therefore congenial to young males. Their counter-culture musical roots influenced their growth. The punk scene of the seventies heavily influenced skateboarding, while surfing in the sixties generally makes you think of the Beach Boys and beat culture. But neither punk nor beat culture were particularly supportive environments for females."
