2007 Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama!






The 2007 MIGHTY MAMA SKATE-O-RAMA™ is coming up on Mother's Day, Sunday May 13 at the Laguna Niguel Skatepark in south Orange County, CA.

The MIGHTY MAMA SKATE-O-RAMA™ features skateboarding women of all ages in a non-competitive, family-friendly atmosphere. You don't have to be a "mom" to participate--all women and their supporters (male or female) are welcome!

Action begins at 10 am, with introductions of the "Skate Moms" at 11 am.

As always, our Rockin' Raffle of skate gear and other cool prizes benefits children's literacy programs--this year's beneficiary is Rosie's Garage, a La Habra-based grassroots tutoring/mentoring organization for kids in need. Our raffle loot includes $5,000 worth of prizes so far! Don't miss out!

Prizes include brunch for four ($300 worth!) at the luxurious St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, LOADS of cool decks and completes, hundreds of dollars worth of dinners at local restaurants, a "Skate with A Pro!" birthday package ($750 value!) with pro skater MIKE OGAS, a private tour of ABC BOARD SUPPLY skateboard factory, and much, MUCH more. This just in: GRAVITY SKATEBOARDS has donated EIGHT skateboards (plus wheels, DVDs, tees)!!!

New this year: Thanks to the generous support of FANATIC Skateboards, SANTA MONICA AIRLINES Skateboards and WICKED WAHINES, the first 40 women (age 18+) to enter the skatepark will have their $10 skatepark entry fee comped!

IMPORTANT: The Laguna Niguel skatepark requires full safety gear, a $10 entry fee and signed liability waiver (if you're under 18, the waiver must be signed by parent or legal guardian). Click here for waiver. The Skateboard Moms highly recommend lessons for beginners! Contact skatepark for lessons in advance by calling (949) 916-7755.

PARKING: There is a small parking lot at the skatepark, and a larger one 100 yards away adjacent to the soccer fields. If you still can't find parking, the Federal Building across the street (on east side of Alicia Pkwy.) has granted us a permit for overflow parking in Lot "L." Please use crosswalks! Do not play chicken with the cars here--it's deadly! Do not park directly on Alicia Parkway as your car will be towed.
