The Winner Of The Womens Division Of The Vans Park Series Championships is...

The contest was INSANE the girls were ripping!  This was the FIRST time the women have ever competed for the World Championship, and they were stoked!

The park was designed with some usual features that made for some rad runs:

The Extension - tile & pool coping
The Kicker - aka the launch ramp
The Tombstone - 15 feet top from bottom and 6 inches is set back from the back - very tricky

Contest  Format:

4 runs each
45 second runs,  skate until you fall

Best run counts
Top 3 finishers become 2017 PS select pros

Girls were scored on:

0-100 Judging scale

Some of the highlights were:

* Julz Lynn still ripping, even with a recent knee injury & dropping in off the tombstone
* Jordyn Barratt packed 7 tricks into the first 15 seconds of her 1st run
* Nora Vasconcellos - with a backside air while stylishly tweaking the tail out

Congrats Brighton - you are the new World Champion!!

Brighton's last run was the stuff champions are made of, in fact both Brighton and Jordyn showed that under pressure they are ones to watch, and don't count them out until the final runs are taken. Women's skateboarding has gotten very exciting to watch!


Huge thanks to Vans and The Boardr for an amazing event!
