Girls Ride Day!

girlsrideday

The Projects opened its gates Saturday and let the ladies take free System 2.0 pulls all day! Good music, free hot dogs, the Nike 6.0 park, and a picnic table full of girls ready to ride…what more could you ask for? Maybe a little more heat from the sun. It was a little on the chilly side Saturday but that didn’t stop us from having a good time.

Two of the cables ran for most of the day, and a few girls were introduced to the System 2.0 for the first time. Among the highlights, the best trick on the box won Cassandra Scott a brand new Nike 6.0 backpack for a shuv-on, shuv-off the box. Impressive. There was also a pair of Nike 6.0’s up for grabs, several Pro-Tec helmets, Skull Candy headphones, and a few pairs of Integrity lipsticks. Rockstar brought the energy to keep us going all day, even in the cold. Everyone walked away with a little something. It was great to watch the progression as all of the girls pushed each other. Thanks to everyone who came to hang out & ride!

Big thanks to The Projects, Nike 6.0, Pro-Tec, Skull Candy, Integrity, and Rockstar for making this event happen. Look out for more Girls Ride Day’s in the future…

“Women in Action Sports” – Food for thought

Female Wakeboarders at Canadian Nationals

Its november in Canada. BLA that basically means there really isn’t much to do other than twiddle your thumbs at work, day dream about glass, think about something interesting you could make for diner and get overly excited about the new memory foam you just put on your bed. HA lets just say for a wakeboarder, you tend to have a little to much time on your hands during these dreary months. That being said, I googled “women in action sports” today and actually came up with some cool articles on how women have not only evolved in action sports over the years, but how beneficial they have proven to be on your outlook on life as a whole. For those of you who are as bored as me right now, or for those of you in need of some refreshing reading material check out theses articles. They just  might start you thinking.
