Vans, SPoT and Boards for Bros came together to welcome over 100 female skateboarders to a day filled with skating, fun, food and friendship. Boards for Bros generously gave 45 new skaters their very own skateboard so they can keep skating for the days and years to come. Huge thank you's go out to Vans, The Bricks, our local volunteers, and all the girls that came out to embrace skateboarding.

As you can see, the turnout was insane! There were so many young ladies on the scene that the Kiddie course looked like an All Ages Contest.

They say those who can’t do, teach. But that’s really not the case with Sam. Here he shows a young lady the proper stance when on the board.
