X-Games Women’s Skateboard Street live from Shanghai yesterday (if you were here in the USA hopefully you caught it last night on ESPN2) was where Brazilian fan-favorite Leticia Bufoni took home her fifth X Games gold medal with a score of 84.33. Bufoni winning gold tied Elissa Steamer’s record for most gold in Women’s Skateboard Street, a record which has stood since X Games Los Angeles in 2008. With tricks including a Nollie 360, feeble grind, frontside 180 and a straight ollie off the dragon feature in her first and winning run, Bufoni bested Aussie Hayley Wilson (84.00) and American Alexis Sablone (81.66), who also had a chance to tie Steamer’s record going into the event.
