"Now this is a skateboard"
Hop in on the sessions with the Powell-Peralta squad.
Make sure you keep an eye out for our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team rider Mazel Alegado at the 5:57 mark. It’s rare that a female skater gets into one of these videos, and she's ten-years-old!
GO MAZEL!

Team riders Mazel Alegado and Brooke Benton win their divisions at CASL National Championships
What a fun weekend! CASL National Championships were this weekend, and they even had a live stream. Four of our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team riders competed this weekend and had a blast!
Team rider Mazel Alegado is the new CASL National Champion for Girls Open Advanced Vert and Bowl.
Team Rider Brooke Benton is the new CASL National Champion for Girls Street.
Congratulations to Brooke, Mazel, Elle Warne, and Anna Shea for being invited to compete and for putting together and executing some great runs!
Throwing out a big congrats to team rider Mazel Alegado! It has been a whirlwind for this young shredder. First up was a trip to the Philippines to meet up with the National Team and skate some spots, then being asked to be on the team and skate the Asian Games - representing the Philippines!
In qualifiers for women’s Park at the Asian Games, Mazel made the finals by placing in the top eight. In the finals Mazel took 7th place - which is amazing! Mazel was the youngest person to compete at the Asian Games (in any sport/discipline). This is a huge accomplishment!
.Big congrats to Mazel - we are so proud of you!

Our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word AM team riders had such a great time at Exposure Skate! All six girls (Maya, Klara, Katelyn, Elle, Mazel, and Mayzie) skated in the bowl contest - four in the advanced division and 2 in Intermediate. Elle is a past Exposure competitor, but for the other girls, this was their first time competing at this fantastic contest that skaters from all over the world come to, and they handled it well!
Pro team rider Minna Stess (fresh off her 3rd place podium finish in Rio) opted to compete in the “longest Grind” event at Exposure, and it was so much fun to watch these skaters push it for so many coping blocks!
