Tonight is the annual Skateboard Hall of Fame awards. It's a big night for all of us skater girls (and guys) where we come out to honor our peers, see longtime friends and have a blast together. Last year we partied long into the night when our own Patti McGee was the very first female skater to be inducted into the Hall of Fame and tonight we will do the same for this years female inductee, Peggy Oki. Congrats to both of you!!
The girls above are just a few of my rad friends who made skateboarding what it is for girls today. They skated way before it was "cool/trendy", ripped as hard as the boys, and looked graceful doing it.
Tonight (and always) I honor each and every one of you girls!

How fun! All the girls look so cool on their skateboards! I always wished I'd continued skateboarding past my early teens!
Enjoy the awards!
These girls are amazing! Hope you have a great & fun evening. X
