In addition to skateboarding with friends, there was a chance to win best trick, mingle with potential sponsors and help those in need.  Everyone who came to skate was asked to bring a donation of canned food, skate equipment new or used, or cash to help feed the LA homeless and build homes with Techo of Latin America.

New this year was an early session for skaters 14-under, which included a skate clinic.  Also new this year was the “Refer-A-Friend” contest.

For more information on the history of Poseiden Foundation Ladies Day at the Berrics see my October 7th post.  Now let’s see some highlights from the day.  Most of the pictures will take you to the IG of the contributor and many of them are videos so be sure to click!

Thank you to all the sponsors like Active Ride Shop above who had a tent and some sock game that I absolutely could not win, while Michelle & Minna just kept winning.  Nikita Clothing who gave us the rad pins below & always supports active, creative & collaborative girls

and all the other sponsors and supporters.  Without sponsors, supporters, and volunteers events like this wouldn’t happen.
