A new way of skating. Part two
Well, we are coming to the final stage of this videopodcast about Chica Rider...
And our last stop whit them was at the Fishbone Skate Park, a unique place in Mexico.
That's where the last class of 2008 took place.
Another thing worth mentioning is that during the 3 years that Chica Rider has been working...
All of its classes have been totally free.
The only thing that the girls have to pay is the enter fee of the skate park, if there is one...
But apart from that, taking classes whit Chica Rider has no cost.
Having said that, let's see what happened in this park whit Chica Rider.
Hi, what's up! We are at the fishbone Skate Park in Mexico City...
Today is december 29, 2008 and we are having the last clinic of the year, the last clinic of skate of Chica Rider.
Here we are more than 20 girls, and we already invaded the whole place, and wellů
There are some parks that have ramps, mostly made out of concreteů it's not very often find ramps made out of wood.
But most parks in Mexico have an inferior quality than this one.
We were intrigued by the fact that there are not many parks like this one in Mexico...
So we asked Paloma if she thinks that's necessary to have more parks like the Fishbone in our country.
Yes, I believe that we need more quality parks in Mexico...
Because many of the existing parks were designed an built by people that doesn't know what they're doing...
By architects that don't have the necessary knowledge to build ramps with quality...
To skate well, there are many parks where it's no possible to skate because they were built the wrong way.
And I think that it would be better, more than to have more parks, to have parks done the right way.
Parks design and build by skaters, and executed by people that know what they're doing...
I think that's so neccesary.
And also I think it would be really good to have spaces whit a roof and whit good installations
because most of the public parks lack of all these services, of all this virtues...
And they are dirty, smelly and have a lot of vicious persons...
I think that more than to have more parks it would be necessary to have more quality in the parks.
In this last class we noticed that in this park all the skaters need to use safety gear
And speaking about that, let's see Noelyn Martinez...
Who explains to us what's the basic safety gear that it's needed in skateboarding.
Hi I'm Noelin Soledad Martinez Gonzalez I been skating for a half a year and the gear I use is thisů
Helmet so I can't hurt my head...
Wristband so I can't break my wrist, elbow patchs, kneepads, and shin padsů but I forgot them this time
And I'm ready to hit the ramp!
Safety Gear's very important because, as Paco and Paloma told us, even professionals use it
That's right, and that's why not having the safety gear on can have serious consequences in a falling...
And if you add to that a chimpanzee suit and a loop, well the results can be a disaster.
If you don't believe us, check this out!
Having a twin is cool...
But having a clone is better...
