Montreal Quebec is not Near Wyoming

I never said I was good at geography and sometimes the guesses I make about where people are skating are far off.

Why did I think resolve.and.evolve aka Caroline was skating in Wyoming?  I really don’t know, but what’s good is she answered me back.  She’s skating in Montreal Quebec and encourages all her girls to get on a board!

I’ve only ever skated in Canada but I dream of cruising around the world in my future!  I stared skating in my hometown of Ottawa Ontario and now I ride the mean streets of Montreal Quebec.  I’m always looking for other ladies who longboard or skate and I encourage every lady to give it a try!  I actually often get stopped by other girls who just want to tell me they like my grip tape and then I often end up asking them if they want to give it a try!  Also I actually snapped my femur in half longboarding drunk so I’m always warning people about the dangers  – Caroline

Even if my geography never improves this blog is one of the best things that ever happened to me.  Plus it’s educational – love how Caroline shared her mistake so we won’t make the same one.

And if you can believe this Caroline is a Pastry Chef – yet again another reason for me to skate in Canada.

By the way the largest city in Wyoming – Cheyenne is 2,569 km from Montreal, Quebec – which is only 1,596 miles – at least it was right continent.

And I’m almost back from vacation – in the Washington DC airport now ✈️

 

Get Your Feet off the Table

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!

Canadian Skater Girls

On December 17th I posted the blog Canada Needs More Skater Girls.  I blogged about lilyboardc in Montreal Canada.  Her mom mentioned in Canada there is not a lot of girls skateboarding.

I went on a search for Canadian skater girls because I believe more girls skateboard when they see stylish girls skateboarding – so to get more girls skateboarding in Canada we need to see who’s already skating.

First stop Toronto, Canada.  During the month of February we’ll see many skater girls in Toronto because that’s the home of Babes Brigade.

I first blogged about Babes Brigade when they launched their Monday Girls Night.

They had their first Ladies Only at the Skateloft on 12/7/15 check out their IG for weekly videos on how fun and successful each Monday night is.

It’s Ladies Only from 5-7pm followed by public hours.  It’s not a coincidence that I found many skater girls in Toronto, it’s because Toronto has a strong skater girl community.  Thank you Babes Brigade & Skateloft.

In February we’ll see several of the babes from Babes Brigade so keep reading.  It’s never too late to share your skate stories – this blog is for all skater girls who want to share – any country, any board, any skill level all skater girls are welcome here.
