Big Congrats to our team rider Poppy Starr Olsen (AU) for winning the Australian Bowl Riding Championships this past weekend!  So many great girls were skating, and Jordyn Barratt (USA) was keeping the contest tight and was leading in semi's before the girls hit the finals. At the end Poppy took the lead in points, by blasting some massive airs, throwing down a fast plant, inverts, and back to back tricks, to secure the win.

Congrats to ALL the girls - it was a great event to watch here in the USA on the live feed - exciting every step of the way.

We will have pics by Joanne Barratt of all the girls skating in the ABC comp up soon - so stay tuned!
