Thank you to all the Google employee's that came out after lunch or during lunch to spend a few hours building skateboards for Board Rescue.org. Google Serve Big thanks to Google employed skaters Gary Fluitt (former slalom skateboard world champion) and Jeff Hedges (Santa Cruz Skateboards team rider) skateboarding history at it's finest. Google Community Impact and google.org Giving begins in the places where we live and work. We support local nonprofits in their efforts to make our neighborhoods and schools cleaner, safer and smarter. Lots of energy, lots of yellow, green, red and blue bikes. Hope we get to do it again.

Thank you for an amazing day today!!!

Skateboard Class if taught would be in the Spring 2012

I along with Gary Holl founder of Board Rescue have taught a few classes that filled up quickly. We enjoyed teaching the classes and have had many parents and friends ask if we would do it again. It is a big commitment since you have to fill out a 5 page form, plan it 8 months ahead and I have always made good swag sticker bags and a signed Skate certificate per each student. I've asked all the local shops to offer a discount for that week which they all have. (Much appreciated.) We have taught a Slide Class with Cliff Coleman and slalom Class at Pacific Collegiate School, and a beginning class at the Santa Cruz Skatepark. Big kudo's to all of the skaters that let us take over the park and respected the little ones. And to my many friends that have helped teach the class and give up a skate day which I know is a big deal when you work all week and give up a day for young tikes that aren't even your own. I will turn away any Mothers that try and drop off their child who isn't signed up. You know who you are and shame on you for doing that and putting your child in that uncomfortable position and putting me on the spot as well. I'm not taking in flakes if I teach again. I have a poll to see which kind of class and if I get enough interest. Thanks.

City of Santa Cruz Parks and Recreation Department. We are currently accepting class proposals for our Winter - Spring 2012 session.
No classes will be held on Martin Luther King Day
(January 16), President’s Day (February 20), Spring Break (April 2-8) and

Support ESCAPE ROUTE: An All-Female Community Skateboard Zine

ABOUT THE PROJECT: We want to print issue #2 of the community based female skateboarding zine Escape Route. Escape Route is a DIY cut and paste community driven zine featuring all female skateboarders. The idea of the zine is to inspire people to skate, properly represent females in the skate community AND show that we're everywhere!!!!! It also seeks to empower young girls & women to grow into strong, confident leaders who promote and implement social equity via skateboarding.

Escape Route will share submissions contributed by female skaters from around the world. Submissions include photos, articles and interviews of skaters, recipes, tour diaries, reviews, directions to skate spots, up and coming skate events, and places to stay/people to contact when on skate trips.

ABOUT PRINTING THE ZINE: In order to finish this project we need to print the zine (this is where you and Kickstarter come in). It will be a 32 page, color, 5.5"x8.5", cut/paste zine. We would like to use a printing company who uses recycled papers/soy-based inks. It'll be about $500 to print the zines. It will also be about another $600 to distribute the zines (it costs about a $1 to ship in the US. and about $3 to ship worldwide) depending where the zines are sent. $50 will go toward kickstarter/amazon processing fees.

PLEDGES: The money pledged to the zine via Kickstarter will go toward paying for the printing services and postage for distributing the zines worldwide. All leftover money (if any) will go toward future issues of the zine. Since this is a volunteer run zine, we are using Kickstarter to pay for the zine and make the zine more accessible to people regardless of their financial situation by not having to charge $ for Escape Route.

If you'd like to be a part of the #2 issue of Escape Route please send in your submissions to skatelikeagirlsf@gmail.com by May 21, 2011. We'd like to have the zine ready to print by May 31, 2011 and ready to distribute by June 2011.

I need to show a better photo of the Slap board which is third from the left. It has the first and last printed issue of Slap Magazine. Some of the images show an empty board. I took the mags out to copy the cover and replaced with print outs so the originals wouldn't be in the sun for a month.
