SEATTLE CHAPTER

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we live, work, and skateboard on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Duwamish, Suquamish, Muckleshoot and Tulalip Tribes. This acknowledgement does not take the place of authentic relationships with Indigenous communities, but serves as a first step in honoring the land we occupy and resisting the erasure of Indigenous past, present and future. In spite of federal, state, and local policies of genocide, Indigenous communities continue to exist, thrive and care for lands in Seattle. One way that we can make our solidarity actionable is by paying monthly reparations to organizations like Real Rent Duwamish. If you are unsure whose land you are on, visit this link to learn what Native land you occupy.

All identities other than cisgender men are welcome at Women and/or Trans Sessions!

Pre-Registration:

For everyone’s safety, we have a limited capacity of participants per hour for Women and/or Trans Sessions. All participants must register in advance. Visit skatelikeagirl.com/register to sign up!

Basics of the Space

Entering the park through the shop, two gender neutral bathrooms are located in the right back corner above the ramp with the red curbs.
A water cooler can be found by the “kidz zone” micro mini ramp.
First aid is located at the front counter.
If your board shoots away from you, yell “BOARD!” as loud as you can to make sure others have an opportunity to get out of the way of it and avoid injury.
Do your best to observe the order of who is skating what obstacles and how you fit into it. Be attentive about who hasn’t had a turn and allow everyone to have a turn in the rotation.
If you borrow any pads or helmets from ATS please make sure those items are deposited in the white bin next to the skate shop door so they can be sanitized.

Lesson Sessions vs. Open Skate Sessions

The 1st session is for beginner skaters receiving instruction, who have priority in the space during the first hour of the night from 7-8pm. We ask that advanced skaters only attend the Open Skate Session and do not skate aggressively on the same obstacles, weave between beginners, or ask them to move from the obstacles they are learning on.
The 2nd session is open skate and therefore has no lessons and prioritizes more advanced skaters. Skaters participating in a lesson may stay for the Open Skate session at no additional cost. We ask that beginner skaters yield to more advanced skaters during this hour.

Media

We often have people taking photos or videos at our sessions. If you would prefer to not be in any media that we share out please let one of our staff members know, or tell the photographer directly!
If you take photos or videos during the night, please ask for consent first and always tag us in them on instagram @skatelikeagirlsea so that we can repost them on our page!
