Just got this info from Mandy @ 360 Skate School. She will be travelling to Ecuador in October to teach kids down there how to skate.

Go check out this event… it is a great cause!

Thought you might want to put this flyer up on ur site. Its a sick fundraiser to help a group of pro girls go on tour in Equador and teach Clinics for the locals.

There is a game of skate where the winner gets $1000!!!! That’s the biggest prize for a game of skate that I’ve ever known. It’s $20 to enter unless you bring 2-3 cans of food for the local homeless shelter - then is half off the enrty fee.

There’s also a soccer game between some pro skaters that’ll be fun to watch.

We need people to come so please spread the word!!!!

Thanks
-Mandy

Park Review Incentive Program:
With our growth, it is increasingly more important to keep up the great reviews and news from the skateboarding world and we still need more volunteer assistance. To encourage this, we will be instituting a new "Review Incentive Program."

1 Park Review = Sticker Pack

3 Park Reviews = NEW OCSkateboarding T-Shirt (choice of size/color)

10 Park Reviews = Planted Skateboard Deck

All reviews must follow our criteria and should be well thought out. If we don’t feel like your heart is in it we will not accept the review. We will provide a list of items we would like included in your review and expect it to be complete.

If you are interested in providing reviews, please email us and we will forward the criteria to you.

Friday afternoon my daughter finally got a lesson from Mandy at 360 skate school. We have appreciated Mandy and her contributions to our site over the last year, and we tried to promote her lessons based on word of mouth… I finally got a chance to see what all of the parents and associates were raving about.

Angela over at Madrid Skateboards said it best… (paraphrasing) - Mandy is safe, clean and fun for the kids, but keeps the edge to skateboarding and keeps it cool!

I have to completely agree. After a full hour in the blazing sun, under pads and helmets (both instructor and student), Mandy was gentle but firm and gave a great first lesson. She started with instruction before even entering the park (Costa Mesa’s Volcom skate park) making sure to emphasize the rules and caution needed to stay safe at the park.

From fakies and banks to mongo and kick-turns, Mandy covered enough basics in an hour to have my daughter excited about the next lesson (she chose to skate again instead of a surf lesson… which will come.) She sent my daughter home with homework and rewards for milestones.

Thanks Mandy, and to all of you parents considering lessons for the summer… go with 360, you will not be disappointed!
