In addition to the clinic, we'll have the Skirtboarders from Montréal demo! Confirmed Skirtboarders are Frédérique Luyet, Anne-Sophie Julien, Mathilde Pigeon, and more!
Exciting new music site, Play.me (www.playme.com) will be sponsoring a game of S.K.A.T.E. and we will be scouting out who’s got the best trick in costume, and treating them with some cold hard cash courtesy of Play.me!

Additional Information
FREE Clinic: First come, first serve! Clinic starts at 12pm sharp. Skate Like a Girl will offer two one-hour clinics. For those without skateboards, gear will be available to be borrowed, courtesy of Girls Riders Organization. The first clinic will teach the basic foundations of skateboarding. By the end of the clinic participants should be able to have board control: balance, pushing, cruising, stopping, and turning. For those that master board control, the clinic will work with those skaters to get the feel of riding ramps, and an introduction to simple flat ground tricks; ollies, shuvits, manuals, kickflips and other tricks.
The clinics will be taught by Nancy Chang (from Seattle and 2008 L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth for her work with Skate Like a Girl), Susannah Young (from Sweden) and Lanna Apisukh (Brooklyn Local).
The clinic is free, but a suggested donation is $20 to help support Skate Like a Girl and Girls Riders Organization programs. Those with skateboards and safety gear are encouraged to bring them. Girls Riders Organization will have gear for those who don’t own their own. Spaces are limited to 20 per session, so please come early!
Play.me presents: SKATE and Best Trick in Costume:
Play.me knows that girls are shredders and is putting up a little pocket money for a game of S.K.A.T.E and the Best Trick in Costume! Girls who can dazzle the crowd will get $50!
