Vinberg learned to ollie the summer before she turned 12, taught by an older cousin.[1] Vinberg continued learning tricks by watching YouTube and started skating with the boys in her neighborhood.[1] Vinberg befriended Nina Moran over YouTube and the two started skating together in NYC.[1] While in NYC, Vinberg and Moran met Crystal Moselle.[1][3] Moselle shot a 13-minute film with Vinberg, Moran and several of their friends titled That One Day, which was then reworked and expanded into the feature film, Skate Kitchen.[4][5]
