5th Annual Event Turns Up The Heat!
A BIG thank you to all who came out and supported the 5th Annual Girls Skateboard Competition!
Over 200 spectators cheered on 8 amazing female competitors at the Westside Recreation Centre park, and the skill level was the highest ever in the history of the event - these ladies keep getting better and better!
Bgirls Leslie Quik, Rhemix, Estaria, Mission and Mel brought on their best moves despite the 32 degree heat, and MC Politique Queen performed some sick rhymes for the crowd while DJ MollyFi spun an intense set of hip hop and funk.
The event was featured on the front page of 24 magazine (with Tenia Lasaga busting a kick flip while smiling for the camera!) as well as on Telus TV.
CONGRATULATIONS go to Laura Sliva, first place winner in the 18+ category for the second year in a row, and to Kassy Bailey who took first in the U17 category. Full contest placings are below and THANK YOU to all the girls who skated - without you, this event could not continue to give females a chance to build their skills and grow the community of women skaters!
PHOTOS will be added shortly and check out the Facebook Group
‘See Jane Skate’ for VIDEO of the event.
Stayed tuned for more updates…we are already looking forward to next year!
