Nike SB presents GIZMO

In 1996, Elissa pushed her way into skateboarding’s spotlight with a stand-out style that transcended gender and commanded respect. Through video and grassroots touring, Elissa, whose nickname “GIZMO” her father bestowed upon her, became a favorite to many, inspiring generations of skateboarders for years to come. Proof that progression in skateboarding is more than just tricks.

Taking a year to produce and filmed by Nike SB alum Jason Hernandez, “Gizmo” is the first all-women’s skate video from Nike SB, featuring Lacey Baker, Leticia Bufoni, Hayley Wilson, Sarah Meurle, Josie Millard, Nicole Hause, Aori Nishimura, Rayssa Leal and Elissa Steamer, filmed in cities throughout North America, China, Western Europe and Australia.

Directed by Jason Hernandez with assistance from Tyler Smolinski, GIZMO is dedicated to those breaking open new lanes. Read more about “Gizmo” and Nike SB’s Broadening of the Skate Community here.
