SLAG Goes to Mexico City recap

Nancy Chang and I (Erica Harris) went to Mexico City to team up with Chica Rider and give skate clinics. Paco and Paloma who run Chica Rider were the greatest... the greatest tour guides ever and great people overall. We were honored to be their guests and to forge the friendship. We were also joined by Micaela, from Poseiden, who helped with the clinics and visioning of future partnerships. The skate scene in Mexico is going off.We ate lots of street food, tortas, tacos, smoothies, and of course fresh fruit. The mangos are to die for, you can peel and eat them like a juicy banana. I ate as many as my system could handle, which was a lot. We also ate tongue and grasshoppers.... more on that in another blog... the link is below
There are so many girls skating in Mexico city. The level of enthusiasm is amazing. Everyone is charging and not afraid to try new tricks. They pick things up so fast and are uninhibited. We have a lot to learn from the Mexican skaters. We were stoked to hang out with the girls, teach clinics, and also skate with Mayra Gallegos and Renata Ruiz.
Charging!
Quick breather after hours of skating... I didn't have much left I could teach so I resorted to freestyle.
Clinic: This is only a fraction of the girls. Mexico has the most colorful parks I've seen.
Hairless Aztec dog (zoloitzcuitle). Its skin is a little oily and bumpy. These are a hit but I wasn't really into cuddling with it.
Random bowl. This thing wore me out.
Near the central plaza.
