9.18.07 SUPERGIRL JAM
This past Sunday was the S3 Supergirl Jam in sunny Mission Beach, San Diego. The first of its kind, the Supergirl Jam was not only an all-girls event but included a snowboard rail jam, a vert ramp skate demo AND a skateboard street course competition, all taking place just steps from the beach. “Supergirl,” created by Warner Brothers, “represents the girl of today who embodies and celebrates the power of independence and self expression. Whether an intellectual or an athlete…Supergirl celebrates and honors the girls and young women who thrive and succeed in all areas of life, with no definitions or limitations.”
The event featured top ranked pros Gretchen Bleiler, Leanne Pelosi, Erin Comstock, Jamie Anderson in snow, Cara-Beth Burnside, Mimi Knoop, Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins in vert skating, and Vanessa Torres, Amy Caron, Lacey Baker and Leticia Bufoni in street skating. Our very own girls team rider and mini shredder Allysha Bergado was skating the huge vert ramp as well. Each of these girls threw down and killed it on the rails and ramps. This event is just one of many events that Girls Learn To Ride (GLTR), an organization dedicated to getting girls involved in action sports, helps to put on. The Supergirl Jam will only get bigger and better so make sure to check it out next year or log on to GLTR to find an event or a clinic near your town.
