When opportunities for women in skateboarding were disappearing, Amelia Brodka decided to create a contest of her own. What started with 34 skaters has grown into Exposure, an annual contest and gathering of women and gender-expansive skateboarders from around the world.

This week, Amelia joins Ashley to reflect on 15 years of Exposure, the next generation of skateboarders, inclusion in competition, and why skateboarding's future is about more than podiums and Olympic medals.

Plus, motherhood, finding optimism in the skate industry, and what's ahead for Exposure's 15th anniversary, November 6–8 in Encinitas, California.

Maddy Brown, better known as WNBA Data, joins us to talk WNBA playoffs, making statistics interesting, what the numbers can (and can’t) tell us about sports, and the growing role of data in women’s sports.

Then we bring it back to skateboarding: an industry that has historically relied less on data and more on “seems right,” and look at the value women and gender-expansive skaters may be creating that the industry isn’t measuring. What data are we missing, what questions should we be asking, and what could the numbers tell us about the bigger story of skateboarding?
