Milkshake Series-girl event posted on 2006-07-18 10:07:59

Hi everyone!

Here's some info regarding the girl event Milkshake Series.

As last year, the event will gather girls from everywhere to ride and chill out together in sunny south of France. The dates: 26th-27th of August.

This year, the event will take place in Poussan, a friendly little park near Sete. It is supported by TAMTAMshop, etnies, Nikita, Jeevice, trauma and scORP. Also as partners Spade, Sunex, ex-templar (frenchys), twenty, ALK13, bmx up, cream and agoride, and of course Poussan city council and the general council.

BMX and skateboard comps are organised as well as some demos of rollerblades, streetboard...
As usual, the comp is merely an excuse to get together and have fun, there is no pressure and no level required, so even if you've just been starting up, you're more than welcome to join the fun. The idea is to support girls in their riding, to keep BMX open to everyone who wants to give it a try.

A jam will also be held on Saturday night for both guys and gals, so guys can bring not only their cheerleader pompoms, but also their bike, skateboard...

BMX wise, we are expecting about 15 riders from France, UK, Sweden, Finland..., hoping for more, but mainly in park.
In flatland, there is a basketball court onsite, very nice, very smooth, so perfect for riding. Hope to see some flatlanders coming over this year!

Free onsite camping for the entrants and some accomodation around for public.

Regarding transportation, please email us if you don't have any so we can sort things out: juliebmx@hotmail.com (mostly for French speaker) or cakebmx@hotmail.com (both French-English speaker)
Any questions, as before, feel free contact us.

Hope to see you there!

Caro

Anything above 65 degrees is good for me because im hot blooded like a lizzard or somthing..

On a side note, lizzards like snakes are cold blooded, they don't have any temperature regulation system as hot blooded have. This is why they go into the sun, to increase their metabolism (for instance after a meal). People that have snakes or lizzards at home know they need a cold part in the tank and a hot part with heat mattress and light so the animal can go from one side to another in order to regulate their body temperature and to adapt their metabolism to suit their needs.
OK, no one cares but for your general knowledge  :-)

As for the heat in UK...riding at night can be a good idea indeed, but working every week day at 8am tends to make things harder...and riding shirtless is an option available only for guys, as a girl, even riding in bikini top can be tricky as you can get some unpleasant and rude comments from pre-teenagers that are just discovering their penis can have another function than for a wee...
But weather is no excuse for me, if I haven't been riding in a while, it's more because I'm a slacker and pretty much demotivated, no need to fool myself.

the site has now moved: www.cakebmx.com
new layout too...only the French part is not totally complete (I'm a bit lazy on the translations...)
we keep on working on it, but would be great to have more euro girls involved and helping us out as the aim was to create a media platform for euro girls to communicate and support each others by sharing their experience.

Anyway, enjoy!  8-)

That girl rider was amazing! Somebody needs to post some footage of her. Talking about it sucks for anybody that wasn't their.[/quote]

here's one clip of her:

Hopefully you can't understand her because she has one of the worse sense of humour ever!! and she needs to cut down on sugar, too much energy...but she'still young! We got her hooked up with Dzequilibre last year, that French clothing company.

Congrats on your result Paul.
