Tuesday

We just wrapped up the first year of etnies Girls Get on Board (GGOB), our signature series of all-girls action sports instructional clinics, and we want to thank everyone who attended a clinic this year and helped to make the series a huge success!
Hundreds of etnies Girls, ranging in age from four to 56, participated in etnies GGOB clinics in skateboarding, surfing and motocross across the country from May to November. We have lots of plans in the works for etnies GGOB in 2007, including expanding the series with additional stops in the United States and Europe.
Encouraging females through one-on-one interaction and hands-on training is at the core of the etnies GGOB program, which seeks to provide females of all ages basic skills and confidence building in skateboarding, surfing, motocross and BMX. The clinics allow girls to learn action sports in a safe, fun and comfortable environment, while enabling them to interact with professional athletes such as etnies Girl team riders Elissa Steamer, Lauren Perkins, Nina Buitrago, Stacey Mulligan, Mary Osborne, Tarah Gieger and Sarah Whitmore.
Alyssa Mease, a 24-year-old from York, Penn., drove two hours to the etnies GGOB skate clinic in Frederick, Md. After taking the clinic, she said: “Today has been a life changing day for me. You have no idea. I’ve learned more in these four hours than in the five years I’ve been trying to teach myself.”
We hope to see you at an etnies Girls Get on Board clinic in 2007!
