Back in January I wrote a blog post on a sPACYcLOUd Team Member.
Now I’m writing a blog post on all of the girl sPACYcLOUd Street Team members. First a little background on sPACYcLOUd .
born in DC, from the mind of designer Tatiana Kolina (AKA Tati), with a focus towards the unique spirit that lives in all of us. The ethical core of sPACYcLOUd is built on self expression, love, and positivity. Its visual aesthetic breathes from the world of break dancers, hip hop artists, street artists, skateboarders, motorcycle riders, and other free spirited and creative individuals. Those whose wardrobe exists in a state of counter-culture, carving through life to the rhythm of their own choosing. sPACYcLOUd reflects political and social currents though clothing, artwork, and attitude.
I met Tati at EXPOSURE Skate 2015 where she was a proud supporter of girls skateboarding. The reason she gives back and supports others is because she was able to succeed when a host family helped her. When she asked how she could pay them back the answer was “You pay back by helping others when you have an opportunity.”
I love that. I’ve been very blessed by the number of people and organizations who’ve supported my blog and vision. There’s no way I can pay them back – what I can do is Pay it Forward.
That’s why I’m always looking for opportunities to write about people/organizations that are making a positive difference. I often write about people you probably didn’t hear of because everyone has the ability to make a positive difference. And I believe hearing stories about people you don’t know is as inspiring or more inspiring than hearing about celebrity stories.
One thing that makes the sPACYcLOUd team unique is that they are tasked with looking for ways to contribute to the community. I know – pretty rad they aren’t just great athletes or stylish spokes models, they are community contributors.

Brie Helmuth aka @ill_brieski
Brie wears many hats/helmets. Her mission is to stay committed to progressing with Rock and Break dance, enlighten the hip hop community with her style and physical fitness, and progress with the new generation of Brooklyn culture while preserving the roots of the meaning behind dance when it first developed in the 70s.
These are just the girls on the team. sPACYcLOUd Team also has some boys. http://www.spacycloud.com/streetteam
sPACYcLOUd is very active in the community and participates in many events such as Just Kickin’ It Sundays. Click the picture to read details. What I really love is that everyone is welcome to come & share the good times with us.
sPACYcLOUd organizes snowboard, surf, and skateboard camps – truly supporting all boarders!
If you’re part of a team or club or organization making a positive difference by welcoming others to the skate/boarding community – please share. Till next time keep it stylish on & off the board.
