Bye-bye summer.
We will be going to our favorite indoor skateparks and continuing Ladies Nights and Girls in Space.

What’s Ladies Nights you ask?  Basically getting the gals together to skate. Make friends get tips from other gals that are there.  If you don’t have gear, let us know and we will bring some gear for you.

We have worked it out with local skateparks that want girls to come and skate!

Bellevue Skatepark: girls only session on Sundays from 5-8pm, the cost is $5 with a membership ($15 initial fee).
Skatebarn: has hosted the longest running girls skate free night on Wednesdays, so we should all go and capitalize on it.

Innerspace: 2nd Sundays of the month = Girls in Space, we rent out Innerspace
1 hour clinics (10am -11am) are $15 for one person, $25 for 2, or $40 for a family of 4.
Drop-in skate $5

Get the word out about the Ladies Nights and Girls in Space!

We also would love to get some new volunteers, so come skate and see what opportunities are available for you to help build Seattle’s girls skate scene!

Have ideas of where to go outside of Seattle to support girl skaters?  We heard through the grapevine that there is a new indoor park in Gig Harbor, people are wanting us to go skate Eastern Washington,  so maybe we will check these place out.

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!

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.

The French-American Chamber of Commerce of the Pacific Northwest is sponsoring Bastille Day Sunday Jul 11 at the Seattle Center, and flying out two skaters: Sylvain Geoffroy and Charles Lautru from Nantes, France to have a skate cultural exchange at SeaSk8.   Local Seattle skater James Starlin will be the events MC.  We will have prizes from Manik, Nomadic, and Sno Con.  Free clinic by Skate Like a Girl.
