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, 2 gel pens and an FTF
certificate. Make sure you tuck it in a nicely as it started
otherwise it will be muggled for sure.
From WinnipegSkateParks.com:
Transcona Millennium Skatepark is located at 255 Redonda St.
It's a modular park with the original ramps built by Skate Concept
and the new addition built by Solo Ramps.
From WinnipegSkateboarding.com:
Transcona skatepark was designed and made by Barkman skateparks.
its a fairly small skatepark, lots of small quarter pipes ranging
from 2ft up to 4.5ft The park has a skate-able picnic bench, a
rail, 2 boxes, a couple hubbas ranging in size. The park has pretty
rough concrete, not recommend for the experienced skateboarder, but
great for beginners that want to practice riding down ramps and
ollie-ing up boxes.
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.
