In 2009 a van load of us traversed to middle America – also known as Winnipeg.

It was the second time we rounded up an international crew of ladies to skate and make friends on the way.  Our end destination was to skate Chicks Flip Out – a contest put together by the Manitoba Skate Coalition and Rugged Riders.  Here are recaps: WOB 1 + WOB 2 (extra footage)
It was fun times.  Bummer it didn’t take place in 2010, but alas, we have memories.

So also – this video was part of an awesome photo show of the tour, taken by Nina Strusstrunk.  The show was part of the Ultra Bowl in Mälmo, Sweden this past August.  We are also looking into setting up a touring photo show if anyone is interested in wanting to host.

Thanks to James Starlin who edited all the footage.

Hannah Stavely just turned 12 years old Oct 5th!

She has been skating just a little over a year.  We are so lucky to have her skating with us! When she’s not too busy getting good grades, having a positive attitude, and being rad, she is making videos on ow to kickflip. Check it!
