Greenskate has been about raising awareness about how we can reduce our green house gases by getting off our @$$es and pushing our boards instead of gas pedals, but this year spring came late so the bike paths are still unskateable. So instead of whining were going to be putting on a safety clinic for anyone who is interested or into longboarding that wants to get out and learn some important safety skills.

The GreenSkate event in Edmonton is being organized by Sheldon...email below for more details. Meet at Chinatown Hairpins.
GreenSkate is a grassroots event that started from a simple idea:
Celebrate and encourage the low impact of longboard skateboards on our environment as a form of effective transportation.
On Earth Day 2007 Calgary Alberta Canada was the host to the first GreenSkate Event. It may come as a surprise that a community of longboarders surrounded by the Calgarian oil and gas industry would feel sympathetic to any green cause; however the Speedboard and Longboard Association of Calgary couldn't be any more ambitious.
GreenSkate was expanded in 2008 to include the global skateboard
community. Rocio Caceres Borlando from Chile organized the largest GreenSkate with over 100 + riders that cruised 7.5 km to “La Moneda”. Everyone who skateboards in every city around the world is invited to participate in GreenSkate 2009.
