Geocache Description:

The cache is at the posted coordinates

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 held a girls only event called "Chicks Flip Out" in July a few years back, 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 has been no even since 2009.

This cache is a larger micro container. It contains only a log book. 

Yes it has a twin. See the trick described below.

From WinnipegSkateboarding.com:

This park features a layout designed for beginners, but can be fun for all.
The park has a number of small sets, a few down rails, and a bunch of banks.
There are little hubba's on the side of sets. Also the park has a curved steep-ish 4ft quarter-pipe that turns into a ledge into bank.
At the other end of this park there is a magic carpet/snakerun section that has curved tacos that are grind-able
 
The 50-50 (from Wikipedia)

The 50-50 grind is where both trucks are on the edge. This move evolved from the horizontal-stance carve grind in pools and was taken up on top of the lip by such skaters as Jay Adams, Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta. Also called "Axelgrind".
