Katherine Folsom charges hard - every time I see photos of her she always looks like she is 100% going for it and never holding back. But on top of kicking ass wherever she skates, she is just flat out a cool girl. She genuinely loves this sport, the other girls in it, and strives to have fun while doing it. Totally my kind of girl.
