The 4th Annual Venice Ladies Jam kicked off Saturday AM under cloudy and unseasonably cool temps but that didn't stop the girls from skating hard and having fun. At the crack of dawn the park was filling up with girls practicing their runs and high-fiving one another.  The youngest competitor this year was 2 years old and the oldest in her mid 50's!

We met ladies like Steph from The Babes Brigade, who came all the way from Toronto to support and who filmed live so that the girls in Canada could see what was happening in Venice! OG skater Denise Fleming came all the way down from Sacramento to shred, and little Elle Warner drove in with her family from Utah to have some fun.

All the girls cheered one another on during the comps and every girl in the 8 and under "pup cup"  got a medal and a sponsor goodie bag - for some of the girls this was their very first contest and it was a perfect one, as the day is really all about having fun and cheering one another on!

The best part of this event is seeing so many girls come out and skate, meet one another, form friendships and they now have a group of girls to continue skating with throughout the year. That's what keeps these girls progressing.

Huge thanks to the City of Los Angeles, Venice Rec & Parks, Skate Park Association International, Heidi Lemmon, Lance Lemond, Kimi Kallman, Bart the fabulous announcer, all the judges and volunteers, the photographers who covered the event, as well as the numerous sponsors who sent so much product that the  girls went home with a big bags of swag.

Hope to see everyone again next year!
