Pamela grew up with the Angeles National Forest as her back yard. She believed in fairies, Goblins, Trolls and always wanted a house knome as a kid. She was happiest when seeing deer in her back yard, spying on the local raccoon family, collecting the polliwogs and watching them grow into little frogs and then releasing them back into the wild. This experience growing up lead her into the woods; hiking, camping and backpacking for the last 20 years.
Pamela has always had the spirit of adventure in her blood. That adventure took her into the world of Action Sports. There she made a name for herself by consistently winning in the male-dominated sports of professional streetluge and downhill skateboarding. She is the only female athlete to qualify and compete in the ESPN X Games, NBC Gravity Games and Playstation Xtreme Games. She has traveled extensively and competed in the International Gravity Sports Association World Cup series and has stood on podiums next to the sports best. Her leathers, helmet and streetluge board have been prominently displayed at Disney’s All Star Café in Orlando, Fl.
Her positive energy and dynamic personality have earned her credibility as a commentator within the industry, as seen at the NBC Gravity Games and the ESPN X Games, Vans Triple Crown, RE:evolution of Sports. She also hosted her own radio show; The Core Radio. She has been featured in top magazines including Los Angeles Magazine, Paper, Nickelodeon, Sports Illustrated and Details. A 45 second NIKE commercial featured Pamela as the Just Do It Downhill Diva, and Pamela was photographed by acclaimed artist Annie Leibovitz for the Women in Sports Project.
Pamela is not only an athlete she is also a successful apparel designer within the action sports industry and has worked for the biggest and the best for 18 years. Today she continues to live the adventurous life and spends as much free time in the outdoors, mountaineering, backpacking, hiking, kayaking, Climbing, MT Biking, snowboarding and surfing, and Llama-packing to just breath it all in.
Through this passion she also helps teach the once a year, Sierra Club Wilderness Travel Course (a comprehensive 10 week class that teaches you outdoor skills) You can also read her trip legs and gear reviews on ModernHiker.com, where she is one of their writers.
If you see Pamela on the trail, please say "Hi." She is always excited to share her tales and stories with those who ask.
