And just like that… it’s annual general meeting time again. The Vancouver Skateboard Coalition will be holding elections for all positions on Wednesday, October 17th at Antisocial (2425 Main St. between 8th and Broadway). If you want to be involved, we want you here. We’ll be skating the mini, eating pizza, and voting in a new board.

There are 20 positions available: four executive positions (president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer) and 16 board member positions (including two youth members).

A VSBC membership is required to vote. The membership fee is a $2 minimum donation that will be taken at the door.

Nominations will be accepted by e-mail starting today (send to: president@vspc.ca) or at the meeting on the 17th.

Executive members are expected to attend at least two events and four meetings through the course of the year (2007-08).

Executive members must be of age and must have attended at least two meetings in the past.

See you there.

I’m sorry I havent had much time recently to check in on this site. But I’d just like to say how much I love it. Because my boy children of 7 and 8 have recently shown an interest in skating, we went out and got boards. I’m happy to say that I’m skating again, and on Sept 9/07 I was hitting the coping over in the PNE skatepark(in the shallow end). My boys perfer Bonsor and I love it to. The board I picked up is my 40 year anniversary deck, I started skating in 1967 when my dad Robert Milligan got an old skate from a police auction, I got on it and rode down a local hill, and the rest is history.I’m now entering my 5th decade of skating,wooohooo! Ah ha, yea I’m really dating myself now aren’t I, I should be writing this thread to
the skate geezers site , eh? HaHaHa! But I’m a person who looks at stage not age. And regarding the local
skate boarders, I’ve been pleased to find out while skating this summer that there is still a community spirit amongst the youth, never let go of this. This is our humanity, and represents that skaters are not just a bunch of reckless rounders. We are all involved
in one of the most revolutionary sports to emmerge in centurys, wouldnt you say? Why with skateboarding as a form of expressing our individuality, and support for
each other as we watch and learn for one another ,and
challenge ourselves to break personal limits. What a healthy sport. Keep up the good vibe, and keep heads up to so you dont run over the smaller and less experienced in the park. Thats all for now with my little rant here, be cool…and push the limits…..
As for me …. see you on the nice days out there.
Peace in your hearts and in this World for everyone…Love, your Brother in Jah…Shuggy Milligan

Thanks for checking in Shuggy. Skateboarding is an amazing thing and it’s always cool to hear from people who get it and have been in it for the long haul. I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around Hastings and Bonsor (my 2nd and 3rd homes) in the near future.

And if you’ve got the time, it would be cool to see you out at the meeting tomorrow.

No.In fact it may help you shed a few pounds. Anyone can skate. You may go a bit faster so watch your speed.

Don’t worry about it, just skate. If you skate enough, the flab disappears by itself. You should have seen me back before I started.
