Girls Learn To Ride Skateboarding Clinics

Girls Learn To Ride (GLTR), the original series of girls-only action sports clinics, is designed to give females of all ages the basic skills and confidence necessary to participate in skateboarding, surfing, motocross, wakeboarding, BMX, mountain biking and snowboarding. In this program, skilled professionals provide hands-on training with an emphasis on safety and skill development. Op GLTR has been running for well over ten years, and assembles skateboarding clinics for girls from May through November, as the overall series includes over 200 action sports clinics and camps in the U.S. and Canada every year in seven different sports. GLTR also offers an instructor certification program for women who want to learn how to become skateboarding instructors.

Girls Learn To Ride skateboarding clinics are taught by top female skaters, and etnies Girl also brings out their female team riders, including Lauren Perkins and Elissa Steamer, to select locations to meet the girls.

In addition, Cherry Skateboards and Girls Learn To Ride have created a skateboard designed for girls who are learning to skate. The boards, which have a flatter tail and are small and light for easier control, will be available in three sizes: 7.13x28.88, 7.25x29.88 and 7.38x30.88. The boards will be available for purchase online at Girls Learn To Ride and at several skate parks throughout the country.

Most of the clinics can be found in California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Vermont. Many of the GLTR skateboarding clinics will be conducted alongside women¹s freestyle BMX clinics. For clinic details, including exact locations and registration information, please visit www.girlslearntoride.com.

For the past decade, Girls Learn to Ride has developed relationships with the leading action sports organizers, athletes, instructional facilities and media outlets in order to provide the highest level of instruction to women of all ages.
