Another Skirtboarder in Town
Category: Lisa's Blog Published Date
Frédérique Luyet from the Montreal Skirtboarders crew contacted me letting me know she was visiting
LA, so we made plans to skate today and met up at the new LA Skate Plaza.
After a warm up session Frédérique and her friends Simon and Chris came along with us to skate a few
other spots.
Leticia had something in mind that she wanted to film for our new video "That's Blogable!" that's in the
works, so we started off at her spot in a nearby school yard. She got her trick, but you will have to wait
for the video to see it...not blogable! Ha!
Frédérique prefers more tranny and banks, so we hit up the Bronson banks and a couple skateparks
that were more her style.
Unfortunately the first park required full pads and we didn't have them all. Leticia ended up borrowing
some toddler sized knee pads and attempted to shred the park without bending her knees too much.
If she did they would pop off!

Day At The Ellingtons
Category: Lisa's Blog Published Date
Today I spent the day with the Brazilian girls at Erik and Luciana's house in Hollywood. These girls are
responsible for opening a lot of doors for female skateboarders in Brazil and all over with their magazine
Check It Out. After visiting for awhile and having a delicious lunch a session started on their mini ramp
over looking the city.
Leticia and the city.
One of Erik's bearings broke on his second run, but it didn't seem to phase him. Bearingless smith grind.
Leticia backside smith.
Ana Paula and Leticia.
Ballerina?
Luciana, Julius and Mya.
After the session we joined Liza and Julius for some Play-Doh fun.

Valentine's Day Session
Category: Lisa's Blog Published Date
Lacey and I drove out to LA and met up with Ana Paula, Leticia and Sophie at a schoolyard for a quick
session. When we arrived there was already a handful of pros there skating. After a rainy week of
video game playing it was pretty surreal to see video game characters in real life. Lacey with a warm
up ollie over the rail.
Lacey handled business, but not before taking a couple slams first.
Ana Paula getting the shots and Leticia keeping us entertained.
Stoked to have Sophie out skating with us!

Alliance Meeting

A last minute meeting for The Alliance to talk over events came together at Cara-Beth's house on
Sunday. On the way down Amy, Leticia, Olivia, Ana Paula and I stopped by the Oceanside park for a
quick session.

Leticia minutes before learning frontside nosepicks on the bank to ledge.
Olivia catching a wave.
Cara-Beth greeted Amy with a dish of cat food. A dare was made and next thing you know C.B. is
licking the spoon.
You asked for it.
Mandatory group shot #9856.
Leticia tried on C.B.'s boots and broke out in dance on the way out. News from the meeting coming
soon.

This is why...
Category: Lisa's Blog Published Date
The lack of blog updates over the last 2 weeks is partially due to rain, but probably more due to the
fact that I discovered EA Skate 2. Apparently I love skateboarding in any form.
