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.
