Good'y!
How's it goin'?
My name's chanelle. I live and skate in Melbourne = Australia. My fellow skating mate is Jodie Tyler which i think Kate have met when she was over there in 96 and 97. Although in competitions, we always compete against each other, we always have so much fun which is what the sport is all about.

I have been skating for about 3 and a half years now and think that over the years girls have definitely improved, but i still think that most of us are always taken granted for as some sponsors just dick us girls around.

I must say though that my sponsors = K2 is the best, they treat their riders very well even the girls.

In this particular competition held here in Queensland, Australia in April, us girls had so much problems with them, one problem was that we did not have any media coverage, our prize money was cut down and our runs were at night with bad lightings and because it was dark, they had all spectators out of the grounds so no one was watching!

They are having another comp in December and none of the girls had invitations to compete.

Well goodluck and all the best! :) chanelle

Was this page made by girls because it is so stereo typical & immature. the women skaters i know & compete with are nothing like what this page represents. i support promoting women skaters but in a positive light, get away from the stereo types that are placed on us by others.

OK, So - like if you got a better way to hook us all up - where's your contribution? It's easy to be "a back-seat quarter back" (as the guys would say)
