See Jane Skate

Thanks to all the amazing girl skaters who competed in See Jane Skate 2009! The technical skill, diversity of tricks and fearlessness from these ladies was incredible - every year the bar gets raised even higher! The addition of the Skate Like A Girl crew riders made the event even better, and we wish them luck at Chicks Flip Out in Winnipeg.

We had the best turnout yet with over 200 spectators, coverage from Global TV News and the Calgary Herald - check out the article:http://www.calgaryherald.com/sports/Jane+skate+Skate+Jane+skate/1876350/story.html
