May 4-6th, 2018 marked Skate Like a Girl’s 9th Annual Wheels of Fortune (WOF) weekend in Seattle, Washington. Hundreds of non-traditional skaters flocked to the Emerald City to participate in back to back weekend activities, representing from Mexico, Canada, Colombia, U.K., Denmark, Japan, and all across the USA! The 2018 WOF itinerary boasted the first ever "Coffee and Conversations" at MiiR Coffee, an evening Welcome Party at evo Seattle, the Witch Hunt presented by the Skate Witches, SeaLevelTV's Premiere of the Timeless Areas documentary on Elissa Steamer, and Sunday Competition at All Together Skate Park. In total, more than 100 sponsors donated prizes, 120 skaters competed, and 59 volunteers gave their time and energy to make it happen. See you next year for our 10th annual event May 3-5th, 2019!
