Review from LOOK WHAT MOM FOUND - SK8*GRL is about More than just Clothes!

http://www.lookwhatmomfound.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Being the mom to a teenage girl I have to be conscious of the message that clothing designers send to the market. Sexy isn’t a message I read to well. I’ve found a unique alternative that fits Sabreena’s lifestyle as well as fashion needs.

Started by Holly Lyons, World Cup Skateboarding Champion, Sk8Grl.com is a premier clothing brand created for girls who love skateboarding and the lifestyle. Sk8Grl is also one of the only clothing companies working towards building self-esteem and character in our girls. A Sk8Grl is someone who loves freedom, fun and wants to positively impact her environment.


"Sk8Grl is all about inspiring and empowering girls to follow their dreams, believe in them self and know they can have fun, stay feminine, and rip on a skateboard. Through community and exposure we can make female skateboarding bigger and better"

Holly Lyons was sweet enough to answer some questions from Sabreena. Check out what they had to say.

What/Who got you started skateboarding? I got into skating when I was a teenager. My sister was friends with these pro skaters, so we would go and watch them at a mini ramp at this one guys house. I thought it was so beautiful and I have never been one to just sit and watch. I started dating one of the guys and he hooked me up with a skateboard and some t-shirts.

Who do you look up to in the skateboarding world? I look up to Chris Miller a lot. He owns a successful company, Planet Earth and Adio. He's a really good person, a great husband and father. He is also the smoothest and most graceful skater I have ever seen. It's always fun to skate with Chris.

How long do you skateboard in a day? Depends, generally for a couple of hours.

What injuries have you sustained? Many....I just had reconstructive surgery on my wrist, I have torn my mcl on both knees, my left knee twice. I tore my acl snowboarding and had surgery, and was also knocked out for 10 minutes and had a contusion in my brain. That was scary, my mind was skipping a lot for quite a while. I have broken bones in both hands, chronic back pain which is a lot better due to chiropractic work, yoga and exercise. I have had so many cuts, bruises and scrapes I wouldn't know where to start It's funny, but they were all worth it at the time and I don't have any regrets because I learned a lot from every incident.

What advice can you give to teen girls about their futures? Well, everybody is different. Skateboarding is getting bigger and better and there are so more girls skating than ever, which is so cool. I think if you love to skate then skate. If you are skating because you want to be sponsored or get free stuff then you are in it for the wrong reasons. It takes a certain kind of person to be able to withstand the injuries and keep going forward. You have to be tough because no matter who you are, you will get hurt. This also is the same with love, life, relationships or whatever. There will be the ups and the downs. Wise teachers say "It doesn't matter what happens to you, it's how you react to it." When something happens it just is, it is your response that determines if something is "good" or "bad". So, you have to skate because you just can't image not skating. That's how it's been for me and trust me it's been a colorful journey to say the least :-)

What is the future of Sk8Grl? Hopefully we will keep growing and making a positive difference for girls in skateboarding and in life. We are all about inspiring and empowering girls to believe in them self, go for it, and know they can always stay feminine and be strong! We aspire to be the ROXY of girls skateboarding and be sold worldwide. We want to have a very interactive website where girls can become friends and find out about each other, have girls design shirts and vote on the designs, then have them made and pay them a royalty. We want every girl to be part of the company itself through design projects like that and more. We want every girl to be part of the Sk8Grl world and know that their voice counts and that they can be anything they set their mind to. We want Sk8Grl to be the girls voice in skating!

If you board, ride, skate or just enjoy the lifestyle, Sk8Grl is an image you can be proud to wear. The designs are flirty, feminine, unique and stylish, something I don’t mind Sabreena wearing.

Learn more about Holly Lyons and her team and the message they are trying to share with Sk8Grls around the world.

OMG its Holly Lyons!!!

You can even get me put on a MUG! YUM, drink up :-)

recovery from surgery

So, I had reconstructive surgery on my left wrist. I had completely severed the tendon below my thumb. How does one do that? Well, I was skating the combi bowl in Orange, back in May and fell on my wrist. I then thought I spran it so I was just going to wrap it up the next day. After I wrapped it, I moved my wrist around and felt a pop and all of the sudden, the top joint of my left thumb was permanently bent.
My philosophy about a lot of injuries has been...."If I ignore it, it will go away". Sometimes it does, other times, I actually have to goto the Dr. I tried my jedi mind tricks on my wrist to heal the injury, but after I got an MRI the Dr. said it didn't matter how I tried to heal myself, the tendon was completely severed and there was no way a connection could have been made.
I had waited a few weeks after the injury even to get looked at, because again I thought I could heal myself. After I got the MRI but before I found out the results, I was flown to Ohio to be on an episode of MTV MADE. I now had to wait for over 6 more weeks before I could get surgery.
If any of you saw the MTV MADE episode you know there was a lot of emotions coming from the Mother and Alex, the girl I was coaching. For almost 3 weeks I didn't mind that Alex cried. I mean she cried on the treadmill, she cried doing push ups, she cried when the wind blew a certain way. The pain in my arm started to escalate and this 15 year old girl was anything but into actually skating.
Two different days the Mom went off on me, but they knew how much I needed surgery yet I was in Ohio and unable to do it, so I was trying to make the best of the situation.
MTV really cut and spiced that show and showed things out of context. Whatever, that's Reality TV I guess. Anyways, after I got back and had surgery at the end of July, I am finally feeling 100%. Physical injuries for me also really affect me emotionally and spiritually. I did not feel like myself for a couple of months. Wow, but I sure have learned a lot though. My mind went through emotional boot camp tearing my thoughts to the ground and rebuilding. It was really painful and I wouldn't wish what I went through on my worst enemy. Luckily it only lasted a short but very intense time. I finally stopped spiraling out of control when I totalled my car in traffic in LA on Oct. 8. HI, wake up call....
It never seemed like it really happened. Very surreal. Luckily I am o.k., my Chihuahua Rerun is o.k., and the girl I rear ended is o.k., my car's air bags blew and the the radiator was all over and they said my car was a gonner. I now had 30 days in a rental car to find a new one. This was a major wake up call to start thinking differently.
I had a car in mind and a price so now it was my mission to let go and know the right car is there. It came to me in a vision what my car was to be. A Honda CR-V. I had never thought of that car before, but that's what I saw and so now I was looking for one. I have two great friends who went with me on different days. I went to San Diego, Orange County, El Cajon, and LA. Some days, I knew it was just a fun day of connecting with my friend. I made lots of phone calls, but could tell as I was doing it, that they weren't the right car. I believe it was good to stay in momentum, but I didn't let myself feel the pressure of the days counting down. I new that before the 30 days were up, I would have the most perfect CR-V. My vision saw it being white, yet on the 30th day in Covina, LA. there is was. A shiny bright sliver Honda CR-V in perfect condition. It had one owner and is incredibly clean on the inside and out. They had originally wanted $8,000 more than what I paid. YES!!! I had a certain amount to spend and I was $6.00 shy on the amount. I wanted to pocket a couple thousand, although with taxes I paid a little over a $1,000 yet it is sooooo worth it.
I love my new car! Life is a really crazy dream that's for sure. Here are some photos of my wrist and my new car. I had faith and didn't stress, and the car is better than I had imagined.
