Hi Rebels! This is Good Night Story for Rebel Girls, the interview. I'm your host Anna,

and today we're talking to skateboarder, surfer, and social media star, Brooklyn Corrie.

She narrated the story of athlete, author, motivational speaker, and burn survivor,

Torea Pitt. If you haven't heard that episode yet, you might want to do that first.

Hi Brooklyn, it's so nice to meet you. Can you please introduce yourself?

Hello, I'm Brooklyn Corrie. I'm 24 years old, and I'm a skateboarder and a surfer living in Los Angeles.

Nice! How did you first get into skateboarding?

My parents did banners and stickers when I was growing up, so they would get skateboards sent to them

through the companies that they would work with. And I always had an interest in it, but I never

had enough courage to go and do it at a skate park, so I would practice on the street when I was

little just kicking and, you know, pushing and just skating around. And I always used to tell

my neighbors, like, I'm going to skateboard when I grow up, and I actually joined the surf team

in high school, and a kid that used to make fun of me fell skating, and I used that as, like,

ambition to go and skate and skate better than him. So I actually went to the skate park that day,

and I watched people skate, and I watched people fall, and then I learned how to do it based on them,

so I basically taught myself in high school, and I've been doing it since about, like, five years now.

The end of high school, like senior year. That's really cool. Do you have a favorite skateboard trick?

My favorite trick. I really like doing anything that airs out of a bowl, so a finger flip,

a finger shove. Man, kick flips are fun, 360s, everything. I honestly find joy in every trick,

because I had to go through something to get there, so I appreciate every trick that I can land.

That's awesome. You post a lot of skate content online, but you also post a lot about your recovery

journey. Can you tell us about how you got hurt and what it took to get better?
