When everything else falls apart, you can allways rely on your friends & your board to remind you life goes on. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cuando todo lo demás falla, siempre puedes contar con tus amigos y tu tabla para recordarte que la vida continúa. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Some weeks ago the Production Company Page International
flew me to Portugal to shoot a Mercedes Benz add. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

found myself that nervous. I could literally like, puke. Way too much eyes on
me (and I’m not the shy kind, you know). But yeah, I survived and now I think
it was a wonderful experience. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My friend Elena invited me to spend this weekend with her in Frankfurt, Germany, where she moved some months ago. I met Elena in Madrid, more than 11 years ago. We were both volunteers at one of the local animal shelters. She was my first friend when I first arrived to Spain. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As in most friendships, life do not always take you to the same places, so the years went by, along with new relationships, houses, jobs or addictions. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These last years, due to all the longboard insanity, I could not spend as much time with her -or any of my friends- as I would have liked to. So this weekend, besides having completely different lives, habits and even points of view, we hanged out together and we had a blast. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We talked, eat, shopped, laughed and danced. Rode bikes, gossiped, cooked, chased trains, messed with each other and eat some more. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So the thing is; that no matter where life takes you, your true friends, will always be your friends. You only have to find some time and make it work. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mi amiga Elena me invitó este finde a Frankfurt, Alemania, donde se mudó hace unos meses. Conocí a Elena en Madrid, hace más de 11 años, en un albergue de animales donde ambas éramos voluntarias. Fue mi primera amiga en España. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Como en casi todas las amistades, la vida no siempre te lleva por el mismo camino, así que los años pasaron para nosotras junto con nuevas relaciones, casas, trabajos o adicciones. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Estos últimos años, y debido a la locura del movimiento del longboard, no pude pasar casi tiempo con ella (ni con ninguno de mis amigos). Así que este fin de semana, a pesar de llevar vidas, hábitos y hasta puntos de vista completamente distintos; lo pasamos en grande, juntas. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hablamos, comimos, compramos, reímos y bailamos. Salimos en bicicleta, cotilleamos, cocinamos, perseguimos trenes, nos metimos una con la otra y comimos otro poco más. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="border: currentColor; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Así que, supongo que da igual donde la vida te lleve, tus verdaderos amigos siempre serán tus amigos. Solo hay que encontrar tiempo y hacer que funcione. </span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">A few days ago I found this on my mailbox: a “skate hard skate
safe” t-shirt, sent from Singapore by my friend Lennat Mak. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I haven’t met Lennat in person yet. She lives in Singapore and I
live in Spain. I met her through Longboard Girls Crew, an international female
longboard community we created in August 2010. It began as something very small
and local, we wanted to find more girls to skate with. Today, we have almost
90.000 worldwide fans on facebook and millions of views of our videos. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">But all that would mean nothing if it weren’t for these things,
like Lennat sending me a t-shirt that says “skate hard skate safe” and a
handwritten letter with the message “keep smiling always”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">This is basically the reason we keep working on this project so
hard. We created a community that’s building bonds worldwide, with people you
don’t even know in person and that may live or not in the other side of the
world, but still united by something bigger than anything: Love. Love for a
sport, for a shared passion, for us and for our friends. No matter the race,
skin color, religion or language. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lennat is one of the first people who I recall supported
Longboard Girls Crew in Asia. She supported us with every possible project. She
even welcomed my brother when he was visiting in Singapore! So Lenn, thank you
my friend, can’t wait for your visit to Madrid this year. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Hace unos días encontré un
paquete en el buzón de casa de mi amiga Lennat Mak, de Singapur, con una
camiseta que dice “skate hard skate safe”. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">No conozco a Lennat en persona.
Ella vive en Singapur y yo vivo en España. La conocí por Longboard Girls Crew,
una comunidad internacional de longboard femenino que creamos en agosto de
2010. Empezó como algo local y pequeño, queríamos encontrar más chicas para
patinar. Hoy, tenemos casi 90.000 fans de todo el mundo en facebook y millones
de visitas en nuestros videos. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Pero nada de esto tendría valor
si no fuese por estas cosas, como Lennat enviándome una camiseta que dice
“skate hard skate safe” y una nota escrita a mano que dice “nunca dejes de
sonreír”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Básicamente, esa es la razón por
la que seguimos trabajando tanto y tan duro en este proyecto. Hemos creado una
comunidad que esta construyendo vínculos alrededor del mundo, con gente que ni
siquiera conocemos en persona y que puede o no vivir al otro lado del mundo,
pero aún así unidos por algo más grande que cualquier otra cosa: Amor. Amor por
este deporte, por una pasión compartida, por nosotros y por nuestros amigos.
Sin importar la raza, el color de piel, la religión o el idioma. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="ES-TRAD" style="color: #1a1a1a;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Lennat es una de las primeras
personas que recuerdo que apoyara Longboard Girls Crew en Asia. Nos ha apoyado
con todos los proyectos que hemos tenido. Si hasta recibió a mi hermano cuando
estaba de visita por Singapur! Así que Lenn, gracias amiga, no puedo esperar tu
visita a Madrid este año. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Longboard Girls Crew, my friends, my job, Juan Rayos, my house, my roommate, my sports & my social life are obviously not enough.
