We have to say, the SLS London Women's comp did not disappoint! So great that the women have been added to stops on the tour and are receiving the same prize money as the men. Huge strides for women in skateboarding!
We were excited to watch Leticia Bufoni and Lacey Baker battle it out after their head to head competition at X-Games Norway last weekend, but unfortunately, Leticia got injured in practice and was unable to compete. She watched from the sidelines, her leg in a brace, crutches by her side.
It was exciting to see newcomer, Margielyn Didal, skate in the second heat - this rad young girl is going to be a force to be reckoned with. Her nerves got the best of her during a few of her runs, but during best trick, she pulled out all the stops and had the crowd on their feet cheering and it gave her enough points to make it into the finals.

Finals changed up who was on top yet again, and at the end it was:
1st Jenn Soto
2nd Lacey Baker
3rd Mariah Duran
4th Pamela Rosa
5th Candy Jacobs
6th Alexis Sablone
7th Samarria Brevard
8th Margielyn Didal
