Lady Killers

L-U-V this picture. Ladies, what’s happening? Well let me tell you. Skate Like A Girl Portland’s next GIRLS ONLY skate skate session is: Sunday August 30th from 11am to 1pm at the Department of Skateboarding. All ages, all abilities. They’ve even got some spare boards and helmets. What else? There’s an organization called the Poseidon Foundation which is sort of like SLAG, but for all action sports. The Poseiden gals will be traveling the coast of California, August 26th? September 2nd with female professional skaters in conjunction with the Girl Riders Organization. It’s not just fun and games, the skaters will be going to “lower socio-economic areas where they will be interacting with the youth and teaching the public that skateboarding can be used as a tool of self-expression and build the confidence in adolescents that are at-risk and come from low?income families.” I’d say check out the web site for details, but I couldn’t find any there. I imagine they will remedy that soon.
