Roxy Girl Skate Camp

My friend Malene Madsen organized a skate camp for girls last year which ended as a great success. This year she is doing it again.

The Roxy girl skate camp will take place in Copenhagen Skatepark from the 2.-6. of August. Meals, transportation, skate lessons and a lot of different sponsor gear are included in the price which is 700,- DKK.

The skate camp will primarily take place in Copenhagen skatepark, which is where the huge contest, Copenhagen Pro also takes place. The participants will also be going to many other spots around Copenhagen and there will also be a competition where all the girls can participate.

For further information about the skate camp, please contact Malene Madsen at malenemadsen88@hotmail.com.

Registration is from the 15th of June-20th of July.

Triple A skate camp 2007

Check out this old video from Triple A skate camp 2007.  It was the first skate camp I organized with my project Triple A at Bryggeriet Skatepark. Nowadays the camps are named Bryggeriet GirlSkateCamp and I’ll let you all know when it’s time for the next one!

In the video you’ll find riders such as Candy Jacobs, some locals from Tösabidarna in Malmö and some other cool female riders from the rest of Sweden. Enjoy!

What goes down in Malmö…

Ok, first a warning, I don’t know what I did wrong but the embed thing didn’t work so to see the clips you have to click on the links. I’m gonna see if i can fix this later. If anyone knows what I need to do, pls tell me! (except for the obvious “copy embed link and paste in to html”, I’ve got that part… it doesn’t work… help!)

Let me introduce myself, my name is Anna. I’m one of the new writers on this blog. I’m from a town in the south of Sweden called Malmö and I thought I’d share with all of you what goes down in Malmö.

We have our own girlskate time on Mondays in the local skatepark. I thought I’d share this with you by posting this video that Andrea Andersson Antunes made. For those of you who have not had the pleasure to meet her, she is the leading lady when it comes to girlskate in Malmö, and also in Sweden I would say. Anyway, she’s awesome and so is this clip:

In Malmö we also have a super cool kid/girlskater called Emma Lindgren who makes her own show called Slash Teve, it’s fun to watch and each episode gets better and better. This is the latest clip and in it you’ll, among other things, find video from the recent girl skate camp we had here in Malmö.

The third and final clip is from a show by the local skatepark, Bryggeriet, and it’s called Fläsk TV. It’s about our newest skatepark here in Malmö, in a part of town called Oxie, it’s in the ghetto suburb where I grew up. So enjoy Oxie Skatepark and that’s all I’ve got for now. You’ll hear from me again sometime in the future, over and out.

Dates for the two camps at Easter are:
Monday April 6th to Friday April 10th

It’s £299 all inclusive which means your entry to all the parks, your accomodation, your food, your tuition, you name it.

If you make just one New Year resolution for 2009, it should be to go on one of these week long residential beauties – it’s what skateboarding was made for.
