Silly Girl Candy Bowl Skate Contest

Courtney Payne Taylor from Girls Riders Organization (GRO) was on site promoting girls skateboarding and helping oversee the judging. Mandy Esch of 360 Skate School was out making sure the newer girls had proper instruction. The Keep-A-Breast foundation showed their support by making sure girls understood the importance of breast cancer awareness. The prizes and giveaways were donated by Jokers Skate shop, Macbeth, Sobriety, Freeride, Sk8Sister, Civilian, Ollie Pop, 187 Killer Pads, Sleex, Board Bunnies, Neff, Shelter Skate Shop and others.
