Women's Park + Street Elimination Results From X Games Japan

The very first X Games Japan started last night and the new venues for park and street pushed the women to create new lines and think fast. We saw USA’s Grace Marhoefer compete in both street and park - something we don’t think we have seen any other woman do during the X Games - and since the events were back to back it probably was exhausting for her. All the women pushed hard and gave it their all and it was awesome to watch!

The top eight in street moving onto the finals didn’t yield too many surprises - but it was nice to see young USA’s Poe Pinson starting to climb up the ranks and hold her own.

 In women’s park, we saw 16-year-old Minna Stess come back from a fall on her first run to nailing every single trick in her second run putting her solidly in 7th place as the women head into the finals. Jordan Santana went for her signature 540 on her second run but unfortunately couldn’t land it - but it was nice to see her go for it! Bryce Wettstein and Ruby Lilley held their own with the Japanese ladies who seem determined that this will be their podium at the end of the finals. We will all just have to wait and see about that!
