Hey Wazzup!

Ok, Ok, Ok, I’m back!

I bet you all thought I disappeared.  What actually happened was a mini break from my computer and an awesome encounter with the snowboarding industry. I basically took off to hang out on a Mountain and be a snowboard bum and I had an incredible time!

To be totally honest with you, I wasn’t really sure there was a strong girls scene anymore in aggressive inline. After producing the second W.A.S.N. festival, I was burnt out with an empty wallet.  So I measured everything out, sent a few emails around and really didn’t get the response I was looking for.  So with that in mind I took a break with hopes of expanding my interests in the Action Sports Industry.

But an incredible thing happened; my absence made your hearts grow fonder and in poured your emails.  I’m great full for all your kind words and I promise the W.A.S.N. is not dead.

 I never intended it to be over I just had to expand my mind so to speak. I remember long time ago an industry person once told me not to bother participating in other sports, that it was a waist of my time.  I thought how absurd. You can only grow as an athlete to do many sports.  It’s called cross training. This of course is for all you serious aggressive inliners.

 Which brings me to what I’d like to focus on this year………to answer many of your emails, NO I won’t be holding a W.A.S.N. festival this year. You know what they say, quit while you are ahead. It was so F*~king cool and again thank you all for coming and sharing.  A big shout out to Angie Walton for the full page she gave us in Daily Bread. My focus this year will not be on the competition scene, 

BUT ON YOU, 

THE DEDICATED SKATER. 

Some of you have asked for the ASA’s schedule and I’ll post it ‘cause I won’t deny it, if you are good enough to make it to the pro scene then go for it.  More power to ya!  The coolest thing about the pro scene is hanging with everyone and the traveling. Most importantly, this goes out to parents as well, if a girl is under 18 you should be traveling with her.  Be prepared to spend a lot of money on your travel expenses and keep in constant contact with the your Sports organizers, the ASA.  It’s up to you to keep current with the lasted info.  asa@asaskate.com  

I love to snowboard but inline will always be my life. Something about rolling around on wheels that really makes me high. It’s a form of art.

[FrontPage Image Map Component]So to bring it back to my focus this year, I’d like to hear from you more.  Like Kristen

 Klem always is in contact with me and she just told me she wants to hold a comp in Pennsylvania, possible during the Summer X-Games this year.

Laura Anderson is doing a skate park tour to raise awareness for rape victims.  I first met Lauren in at an ESPN pro Tour stop. I think what she’s doing so right on! Good luck girl friend! I asked her a few Questions ... Click here!

Send me your thoughts about your skating and what else you might be up to.  There’s allot of really good stuff go-en on.

Peace
