This cache is part of a series promoting Girl's skateboarding in
Winnipeg, in honour of TechDeckPerson. Skate camps and other
supports exist in Manitoba for young boys, but so far not enough
girls have been identified to warrant much activity aimed toward
them. That said, an US based group SkateLikeAGirl and the Manitoba
Skateboarding Coalition have held a girls only event called "Chicks
Flip Out" in July for the past 2 years, attracting skaters in their
teens and 20s from around the world. So get out there and get your
skate on... it's not just for the boys. Sadly, sponsors have pulled
out so there will be no event in 2010.
This cache is a small lock-n-lock. The cache contains a number
of Tech Deck fingerboards, a log sheet, and a pen.
From WinnipegSkateParks.com:
The St. Vital Skatpark is located at the intersection of Meadowood
Dr. & St. Anne's Rd. next to the St. Vital Arena. It's a 11,000
square foot modular park built by Skate Concept. It opened in
October 2003 and cost approx. $250,000 to build.
From WinnipegSkateboarding.com:
The St.Vital skatepark was designed by Skate Concept and made in
2003. The park features a bunch of quarter pipes ranging in size
from 2ft all the way up to 6.5ft. It has 2 mini's (one 5ft mini
half bowl & a 2ft mini) There is a plaza area with a few small
hubbas, rails and box extension. The park also features a wall-ride
and a few boxes at the far end.
CO's comments:
St. Vital is known for being a challenge to skaters not because its
so hard in itself, but because for some reason it seems to attract
a crazy number of bikes as well. Avoiding collisions is just
annoying at the Plaza, at St. Vital its a life and death
skill...
Congrats to Team-Kare-a-Cache on the FTF.
Logging
Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of
planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear
your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the
hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required.
Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have
a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other
finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding
the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
