Cosby Dunks

Posted by proskates On January - 29 - 2010

I’m not sure how many of you guys are old enough to remember The Cosby Show of the 80’s and 90’s but I watched that shit religiously.

But the best thing about that show had to be the sweaters that Cos always used to rock.

Like that one.

Well, the brilliant brains at Nike SB have got a new Dunk Hi inspired by those same sweaters. Here they are…and they are here.

So grab a Jell-O Pudding Pop and come cop the joints fast.

This past weekend at Wentworth, the Adrenaline Diva’s held an ALL GIRLS snowboard clinic. FEAST was a huge success! All 17 girls who participated had a great time and learned so much, the feedback was awesome. They day was filled with laughter, progression, and some great bails… If you missed that clinic, don’t fret; there is another one coming up soon! January 30th at SNOWED IN, during our ALL ladies day at Martock, the Adrenaline Diva’s will be hosting another FEAST clinic. So make sure you sign up and participate… you’ll learn lots and make some new friends too!

There were a few people who won some swag;

The Most Improved Rider: Sarah

The Most Enthusiastic Rider: Zoey Francis

The Best Bail: Kristina M

The contest that took place afterwards with the ladies who participated in the clinic had two categories:

The Beginner Category: 1st- Kristina M. 2nd- Alex Patenaude 3rd-Maria W.

The Beginner-Advanced Category: 1st-Sarah Payzant 2nd- Anne Gilbert 3rd- Christina Retson

Here’s a sneak peak at the Martock ProGirls for 2010! Melanie and I went up on saturday morning to say hello, give them goodie bags and take a look at the newbies. If you’ve never seen any of these little ladies ride, make it happen this year. Most, if not all, will be competing in “Flaunt it” Billabong’s ALL ladies slopestyle and rail jam happening on January 31st. These ladies (ranging from age 10 to 15) kill it in the park, and have so much fun while doing it. So next time you’re at Martock, you’ll probably see one of these hooligans flying around, say hi and challenge them to a showdown.

We’ll be tracking the Martock and the Wentworth ladies this season, so stay tuned!

Snowed In! Where? Martock!

Posted by progirl On January - 9 - 2010

Hello everyone!

On January 30, 2010 ProGirl and Billabong are teaming up to host “Snowed In” our 2nd Annual ladies day. The event will take place at our local ski hill, Martock, in Windsor, Nova Scotia. At the bottom of the hill there will be a village of tents filled with businesses that pertain to women’s personal health and well being. Although ProGirl is snowboard oriented, we want to target women of all ages and sports. This day is not only about bringing women together who share a common interest, but also helping them to recognize their beauty and importance. If you attended Snowed In last year, the layout will be similar but much bigger in size and participants. There will be games, interactive tents and lots more happening all morning ending around 3pm. So come, Bring your families and join us for a day filled with fun, learning and lots of goodies!

And don’t forget about Billabong’s “Flaunt it” the all girls slope style and rail jam happening the next day!

See you on the slopes!

Monday Night is Ladies Night!

Posted by progirl On January - 8 - 2010

We’ve decided that Monday nights should and will be our ladies snowboard night! Soooo this means we all go to Martock for around 7pm (it’s ok if you’re late, no one is checking), and ride together. Anyone can come, all levels of riding are welcome. So if there are a few people who want to hit up the park and a few that want to just ride then everyone has some buddies to ride with. Girls love girls.
