Skateboarding in China Town – Canada

Screen shot 2016-02-10 at 8.35.10 AM

Skateboarding should absolutely be FUN.  That’s why I love this picture of devan.711 skateboarding in China Town.   Her smile completes her style.

The more I blog about Canadian skater girls the more I found out about Toronto and I’m just wondering why I haven’t been there yet.  Fashion, Monday night girl skate sessions, skating downtown by the CN Tower and now China Town – maybe I should just move there.

Get Your Feet off the Table

Screen shot 2016-02-09 at 9.33.10 AM

Mothers everywhere  yell “Get your feet off the table!”  Technically it’s not Hannah_sk8 feet on the table it’s her skateboard – so it’s ok.

Hannah_sk8 is in Montreal so you can’t always skate outdoors – however her YouTube has both indoor and outdoor videos all of them amazing.

Happy Fat Tuesday – yes in my research of Canada I read that Montreal has been called the New Orleans of the North.  Like I tell my mom this blog is educational!

I recently started doing themes within the blog.  In December each post was from a different city, in January each post gave thanks for encouragement, and now in February each post shows girls can skate in Canada.

The collage above is ellynb_frenchie “picture speaks a thousand words” and “seeing is believing” so check out ellynb_frenchie.

If you are a girl skateboarding in Canada or anywhere else and want to be on this blog – just let me know so the world can see – the world is watching so let’s make them believers #girlscanskate.

Having fun in Fernie B.C.

So for now it be more indoor skateboarding for Callie.

Or maybe it’s a weekend for snow.  Either way they’ll keep it stylish on and off their boards.  Skateboarding builds self-confidence to challenge anything – just one reason skateboarding is good for girls in Canada and all around the world.

Toronto a City for Skater Girls and Fashion Capital

Screen shot 2016-02-04 at 8.21.45 AM

Earlier this week we saw Monday night girls night at the Skateloft in Toronto.  There’s also street skating downtown.

Ok maybe not in the snow – but weather permitting Toronto is a beautiful city to explore with your skateboard.  As swaybackk says I am lucky to have one of the best cities in the world to be my home base.  Always lots of love waiting for me here no matter what.  Street skating downtown Toronto will forever be one of my favorite things to do.

Toronto is not a “hilly” city and has a subway system so skateboarding is definitely a rad way to see the city.

If I’m lucky I’ll get to visit during Toronto Fashion Week which is semi-annual.  After six seasons with World MasterCard as the event’s title sponsor this year will be different – have to keep checking back because the details are still top secret.

So, Universe  “I am happy and grateful to skateboard in Toronto!”.

Yoga on the Skateboard

Skateboarding to me is rolling yoga – it’s all about the balance.

Screen shot 2016-02-03 at 8.48.37 AM

So I love this picture from elle_fit_fashion with the caption Best Skateboarding yoga buddy on the planet!

Elle_fit_fashion is actually Laura in Kingston Ontario Canada.  She’s been skateboarding for years – here’s a pic from 2008.

Screen shot 2016-02-03 at 8.53.17 AM

So yes, it might get cold in Canada – with a lot of snow – but Laura can still have fun and keep it stylish on her skateboard indoors.

Screen shot 2016-02-03 at 8.59.50 AM

Thanks for sharing Laura your pictures and inspirational quotes.  Empowered women, empower women and I’m happy to know you.

Ground Hog’s Day in Canada

Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam didn’t see his shadow this morning as he scurried from his tiny shed at a provincial wildlife park northeast of Halifax.  thestar.com CANADA

Screen shot 2016-02-02 at 10.23.14 AM

Even if Sam is wrong – which is what Wiarton Willie says, Canadian Skater Girls will be ok.

In addition to skateboarding indoors like the girls of Babes Brigade did yesterday at SkateLoft, there’s always snowboarding.

Ava in Alberta Canada is an 8 year old ambassador for SheShreds and she keeps it stylish on and off both her skateboard and snowboard.

Love how SheShreds supports all girls who shred.

There was a time when society dictated the way girls walk, talk, dress, eat, and live. Those views have changed. Women have changed the face of every discipline from science to sports. And at SheShreds.co, we’re stoked to be champions of change.

Snowboarders. Wakeboarder. Skateboarders. Flowboarders. Mountain Bikers. Surfers. Adventurers. We are wired to take risks, push hard, go big, and be bold. And we believe that each one of you can raise the bar — above and beyond what has ever been imagined.  Gina Duffy, Founder

Love to see Ava grow and continue to get encouragement from them and her dad Chris.  Keep shredding Ava – it’s good for you and it’s good for the world when girls are stylish & sporty!
