Get Creative with Your Ramps

Lisakindberg skates what she finds – literally she found a fridge laying around and decided to do something with it, lika a cheeky Lil ride on the wall I’m almost 30 and I still jump off stuff on a skateboard.  That smile on my face shows I need to do it more often.  My decision to go skateboarding today was in honor of you Gisa, RIP. photo Alex

You’re never to young or old to skateboard or start skateboarding.  I’m sorry for your loss Lisa and appreciate you sharing how skateboarding makes you happy.

BTW – Lisa is Swedish currently based in Lennox Head/Byron Bay, Australia – stylish girls skateboard around the world.

Grand Opening Academy Skate Park in Vista Ca

I’m lucky enough to be a student and friend to pro skateboarder Neal Mims.  I was at the Grand Opening of his new skatepark – Academy Skatepark on April 2, 2016.

Even though I was working – I had fun.  There’s something for everyone.

As part of the Grand Opening – Sambazon Cafe & Bull Taco were also there.

The park is now open daily – I’d love if you shared your pictures & stories with the blog.  I’ll keep you posted on upcoming events – I had so much fun last Thursday at the Free Skate Clinics – the future is very bright – thanks Neal Mims for spreading #yesyoucan. Screen shot 2016-04-03 at 11.24.05 AM

 

Skateboarding the Fun Exercise

Screen shot 2015-11-30 at 9.00.12 AM

Skateboarding is sport and art plus fun exercise.  Marcelachicolli shares this video.   It’s just one of her rad pictures that show #girlscanskate – skateboarding is one of the most fun exercises out there.  Don’t believe it’s exercise – than you haven’t skated – it’s an incredible core workout plus aerobics.  Think of it as rolling yoga on caffeine!

And after just helping at Academy Skate Park I can assure you helping is a workout – running with the skateboard ?

Jacinta Dropping in at Tugun Skate Park

Screen shot 2015-11-27 at 8.27.36 AM

Jacinta is 7 and already loves dropping in.  Here she is at Tugun Skate Park in Australia.  When I looked up the park I read that it’s an older park that mostly consists of half pipes, banks, and quarters with little street but a new upgrade has dramatically increased the rating of the park.  The refurbished consists of a pool style bowl with stairs, banks, rails, and ledges.  skatespots.com.au

The pool & sky look beautiful to me – I’m so glad Jacinta shared it with us.  More girls do skate as they see stylish girls skateboarding and stylish girls always encourage more girls to skate!
