Team riders Mazel Alegado and Brooke Benton win their divisions at CASL National Championships

What a fun weekend! CASL National Championships were this weekend, and they even had a live stream. Four of our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team riders competed this weekend and had a blast!

Team rider Mazel Alegado is the new CASL National Champion for Girls Open Advanced Vert and Bowl.

Team Rider Brooke Benton is the new CASL National Champion for Girls Street.

Congratulations to Brooke, Mazel, Elle Warne, and Anna Shea for being invited to compete and for putting together and executing some great runs!

USA Skateboarding had its #ecosystems contest this past week and we are proud to say that three of our team riders placed in their divisions!

Congrats to all the girls who competed - you were all amazing!!

Read on for more results!

Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word team rider, Klara Kermoade earned a well deserved 1st place in Women’s 13 and Under Bowl. Her run was powerful and full of back-to-back tricks. She’s only 13 and after watching this, we can’t wait to see her future progression!! Get ready!!

Team rider Elle Warne resides in Utah where it’s hard to skate in the winter, yet somehow this young shredder always finds innovative lines and trick combos no matter what time of year it is. Entering into her freshman year of High School, we hope 14-year-old Elle encourages other girls in Utah to skate with her - maybe by forming a skate club at her high school. Her well deserved 3rd place finish in 14-16 year old Women’s Bowl at this comp makes her one to watch!

To win “Best Trick” in the Women’s division (all ages) is a major thing - and when you are 12 it’s even bigger! Team rider Briel Weingartner has been on the scene pushing the boundaries for young women in street skating for awhile now. It’s awesome to see her recognized for her innovative style and trick execution!

Our Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word AM team riders had such a great time at Exposure Skate! All six girls (Maya, Klara, Katelyn, Elle, Mazel, and Mayzie) skated in the bowl contest - four in the advanced division and 2 in Intermediate. Elle is a past Exposure competitor, but for the other girls, this was their first time competing at this fantastic contest that skaters from all over the world come to, and they handled it well!

Pro team rider Minna Stess (fresh off her 3rd place podium finish in Rio) opted to compete in the “longest Grind” event at Exposure, and it was so much fun to watch these skaters push it for so many coping blocks!
