The money pledged to the zine via Kickstarter will go toward paying for the printing services and postage for distributing the zines worldwide. All leftover money (if any) will go toward future issues of the zine. Since this is a volunteer run zine, we are using Kickstarter to pay for the zine and make the zine more accessible to people regardless of their financial situation by not having to charge $ for Escape Route. This project will only be funded if the pledge amount is reached by the May 21, 2011 deadline.

If you’d like to be a part of the #2 issue of Escape Route please send in your submissions to skatelikeagirlsf@gmail.com by May 21, 2011. We’d like to have the zine ready to print by May 31, 2011 and ready to distribute by June 2011.

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.

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!

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.
