Superstar volunteer Leah Eister-Hargrave is coordinating a Clothes Swap!

Clean out your closet and take home a new (to you) fall wardrobe!  Just in time for back to school!   Bring your gently used clothes, shoes, accessories, etc to swap.  Show up at 10:30am, swapping will start shortly thereafter.  Women and girls only, please!  Come mingle and have snacks with friends, and update your wardrobe all while benefiting Skate Like a Girl!

Entry is one bag of clothing (bring more if you did a super closet clear out! Leftover clothes will be donated to local organizations) + $20 per person, or $30 per family.  Cash or checks only please.

The event will take place on Sunday September 19 from 10:30am -12:30pm.

Location: University Heights Center (5031 University WAY NE, Seattle RM 109).

Bring all your friends!

Kristin and Nancy are heading out to hang out with Skate Like a Girl’s Sweden Post: Susannah Young, and experience the radness of girls skateboarding!
We will be checking out the Concrete Cup (Swedish Skateboard Cup)and Ultra Bowl 2! Ultra Bowl 2 is a huge skateboard competition in a world class concrete park, Stapelbäddsparken.

As a part of Ultra Bowl 2 there will be a big street competition for girls: Get Set Go! where riders from all over the world will compete for the prize money of 10 000kr (1 385 USD). Representatives from No Limit (SWE), Skate Like A Girl (US) and Skirtboarders (CA) will be in town to enter the competition and hang out at the No Limit area at Ultra Bowl 2.

There will also be two exhibits during Ultra Bowl 2 showing womens skateboarding:
artist and photographer Nina Süsstrunk will be showing her pictures from  last year’s Winnipeg or Bust, James Starlin also edited footage of the tour AND there will also be an exhibit about No Limit and other female skateboard organizations.  As if the event wasn’t enough, the Malmö festival takes place the same weekend with loads of spectacular things going on in the city. Join us for an awesome weekend!

Yes! That’s right 10 years ago in the summer of 2000, Holly Sheehan and Fleur Larsen ran their first girls skateboard clinic at Ladyfest in Olympia, WA.  That has snowballed from a small skate crew into a volunteer run non-profit with three chapters in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco.  Help us celebrate by coming to the party August 1st, 2010 at Bellevue Plaza.  We will have a free BBQ for the first 100 folks – thanks to the best Field Roast Grain Company maker in the world + all natural sodas from Hansen’s!

What’s the schedule?  It’s a surprise – keep you on your toes, but we will have some FUNTESTS (trade marked by Kristin Ebeling) $200 bucks to pass out thanks to the generous Chang family, sweet prizes thanks to Sno Con, Black Box Distribution (Fallen, Mystery, Slave, and Zero), Manik, Nomadic, DC, Mavrx and others! Fun activities including clinics! And what’s a party if there isn’t a piñata? BOOM! Fun for all ages.  Guys come out and support – we will have a game of SKATE for you as well!

Rumor has it we will have ladies coming from all over the West Coast of North America: Oregon, California, Montana, and our favorite skateshop in Vancouver – Anti-Social and some ladies from Australia will be jamming with us!

North Bend have fun deep into I-90.  Should be tons of fun for the family.
