Arizona: Part 3

Leticia Bufoni catching airLisa filming. If you want to check out some behind the scenes candid videos and pictures of this trip then check out 'The Side Project' (which is listed in the links column to the right) and check out the blog.

I think some of the girls were throwing food... but this waitress fell in love with us. She was hugging and kissing everyone, telling us to come back during her next shift...

Arizona: Part 1

Villa Villa Cola productions is coming out with a new video. Its a womens surf movie that "won't gag you with a spoon," as Tiffany puts it. This epic movie, 'Dear & Yonder,' is a must see! The makers, Tiffany Morgan and Andria Lessler, decided to include a skating element, which was to be filmed in and around Phoenix AZ. I was able to get hold of a Previa, thus I was designated Previa driver for this filming mission.

SLAG-A-Q






San Francisco backyard BBQ mini-ramp session:

On Sunday the ladies met up at Angie's around noon. Tracy was rehabbing her foot but did a killer job on the grill. Aime A came up from Modesto with Ladonna and Frank from "The Ranch." Staycee came up from Stockton and there were a few others there enjoying the lovely weather.

We all fueled up on food and took turns skating the ramp. After that we headed out to Angie's driveway to skate the curb and bomb some hills.

Everyone seemed ready to go to a park so we pilled into a couple cars and drove to Pacifica to skate the cement park until dark. There was a woman there who wanted extensive interviews with all of us about skating and gender for a paper she was writing. We told her she wasn't too old if she wanted to start skating and gave her a couple SLAG stickers.

Once it was dark we headed to the Log Shop (which is only a block away) and skated the indoor ramp. They only charged us $1 each since it was close to closing.

If you missed out on this lovely day and you live in the Bay Area be sure to get on the Skate Like A Girl San Francisco email list.

SLAG San Francisco's Super Secret Skate Date



The Skate Like A Girl super secret skate date started at 1pm in Golden Gate Park. About 20 girls skated throughout the session.

Cory brought a bunch of local girls from his after school skateboard program. They all demonstrated a lots potential and enthusiasm. We were stoked they could make it (thanks Cory) and look forward to skating with them again.

There were a couple of photojournalists who came to take pictures (including the ones above) and interviewed some of the ladies.

By 3pm there was a new batch of skaters ready to hit the rail and ledges or just cruise the flatground. Jolie tried to show me how to heelflip (no, not a lost cause) and a guy on rollerskates hit every square inch of that pavement with a battery operated leaf blower.

After that the party moved over to the ledges. Megan V. tried to get some footy of a ledge grind until it was well after dark.

Thanks for the good times to everyone who showed up.
