TID Girls Invade Basecamp
Back in September Leslie Sparkes invited some of use Ontario shreds to come ride at Basecamp for the weekend. We were all super stoked especially since it had been our first time riding together since.. well I can’t event remember. Here is a bit of the footage from the day!

Mission Statement: To create the ultimate wakeboard experience for girls of all ages.
In the summer of 2010 our website is proudly announcing our 2nd annual throwitdown.ca all girls wakeboard tour. The TID Girls Wake Camps are a fun, enthusiastic, learning environment used to introduce girls to the sport of wakeboarding, help lady shredders out there to improve their riding from learning their first air to landing that first tantrum.
Objective: The TID clinic tour was created by Canada’s top female riders with the goal of introducing new female athletes to the sport, and helping these girls to progress their riding by having FUN.
There is something in the air: “I don’t know what it is about girls specific clinics but they are always the most fun times I have on a wakeboard. The environment during a TID clinic is unique and extremely progressive. The girls are all supportive of each other and are not only there to cheer when you stomp a new trick, they are there to pat you on the back when you faceplant 10 times in a row. Having riders at different levels not only helps in their individual progression, it opens their eyes to the potential they can reach on a wakeboard.” – Erika Langman, TID head coach
“All girls clinics are an amazing thing to be a part of. Nothing really compares to the atmosphere when a big girl party takes over the boat; a boat load of cool girls who are all there to shred, pump up the tunes, do a little dance, learn some new tricks and slap some high fives. The most important thing to us is that our students have fun.” – Ally Boothroyd, head coach
For those of you who have never tried wakeboarding before; these clinics are a great way to get introduced to this super rad sport. If you’re looking to get some air, clear your first wake, learn some 180s, inverts or dial that trick you have been stuck on for awhile, come on out and get some professional instruction from the girls at TID.
Also… Watch for our upcoming girls ride days! Register online for free rail sets all day long at our TID girls ride days. Grill and Chill, shred some gnar, learn to hit your first rails, get some cool give aways and join our camp out/slumber party! Dates to be announced each spring.
Girls Ride Day!
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…
