Judi Oyama crushes it at the President's Jam in Poway

We were stoked to hear that OG slalom racer, Judi Oyama, took some time out of her busy schedule to make the drive from Nor Cal to So Cal to get some time on the hill at the Presidents Day Jam in Poway, CA before heading off to the Texas Sizzler race that's happening next month. In Texas Judi will compete against the other women that made the top 4 qualifiers to compete at the World Skate Games 2022, Oct 24 - Nov 13 in Argentina.

The last time Judi had raced head to head slalom was back in 2019 and at this race the ramp was a double ramp drop in and along with the steep hill it proved to be fast - Judi conquered it with no problems whatsoever.

Judi placed second to Lynn Kramer this weekend and took home a nice prize purse of $350. Lynn received $500 for first.

I'm happy to share that the men and women racing had equal prize money!

Judi hopes to encourage younger girls and women to come try racing slalom.
