Girls Learn To Ride, now in its third year, is a series of one-day clinics during which girls of all ages are given the chance to learn sports typically dominated by boys and men; such as skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, wakeboarding, and motocross in a relaxing, safe, and fun environment. Girls Learn To Ride hopes to encourage and empower girls of all ages to learn, love and participate in these sports right along side the boys. In 2002, Girls Learn To Ride will launch a series of nation-wide clinics, with details to follow.
