SLAG SF Memorial Day Weekend Skate Tour 2010 from Patricia Fung on Vimeo.

Fort Bragg was in need of some lovin’ and support. They needed to raise funds for their skate park.

Of course, being the skate park supporters we are.. we replied “YES!”.

We were able to make a whole tour out of it. A rental van became our means of transport from one city to the other, and the weather became our enemy. It was scorching and we literally put our sweat and tears into our skating.

The beginning of our tour started at Potrero Del Sol in San Francisco. We also hit up Ripon Skate Park where we met up with Lisa Whitaker and a few other girls. Girls who made the trek with us on the tour were as follows: Jolie Pitetta, Patty Fung, Yil Sag, Jin Hei, Staycee, Anna Nabba, Erica Harris, Kristina Narayan, and Ashley R.
