If you weren’t up at 3 AM PT, let us fill you in. It was an exciting early morning here watching the 16 female semi-finalists battle it out to see who the 8 would be that move on to tomorrow’s finals! Watch the video above to get a full sense of how hard it was to make finals.

At the end we have 3 skaters from USA, 2 from Great Britain and 3 from Japan. What is unusual is AU and Brazil are out of the final mix. Some of the names you will recognize and a few are a bit newer on the Olympic Qualifier scene - Hinano Kusake from Japan is one to watch, Grace Marhoefer from the USA is coming on strong and Lola Tambling from team GB made a great showing today!

We’d like to extend a huge congratulate to our team rider Minna Stess for making the finals - well done!

The 8 Women Who Move to Finals Sunday AM - Congrats to all!

HERE IS HOW TO WATCH THE FINALS ON SUNDAY

4:45 AM PT / 7:45 AM ET via WorldSkate.tv

The big news this morning is that FIVE women from the USA have made the semi-finals in women’s park - Grace Marhoefer, Minna Stess (our GN4LW team Rider!), Jordyn Barratt, Bryce Wettstein and Carlin Makibbin. The USA has more skaters in the Women’s Park semi-finals than any other country.

Japan is holding strong as usual with Sakura and Kokona and Kisa in the mix, as well as Hinano leading the way. Team GB has to be stoked, not only has Sky Brown advanced, (which is to be expected) but Lola Tambling as well.

As we know with these comps, some skaters don’t show their full run until finals. Don’t worry that quarter finals were not broadcast live - you can tune in tomorrow AM to watch these 16 women shred to see which 8 make the finals!

Most likely, while you were sleeping, the Women’s Skateboarding Park Open Qualifiers took place in Sharaj, UAE. The women will now have a day off in between this Open Qualifier and the Quarter Finals that take place on Friday.

In addition to the 28 female skaters that made it to the quarter-finals - 5 more “pre-seeded” skaters will join them. This makes the field a total of 32 competitors that then gets cut to 16 for the semi-finals. This will be some harsh competition. After semi-finals the field is cut to just 8 skaters for the finals.

Right now Arisa Trew from AU sits in first and GN4LW team rider Minna Stess is sitting in second and the list goes on as you can see below.

We know how confusing it is to be able to get all the info on when and where to watch the women skate - especially since the World Skateboarding Championships for both Street and Park take place this year at the Aljada skate park. This amazing park is located in the heart of the Madar entertainment complex designed by internationally-acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects in Sharjah, UAE.

This exciting event, will crown two new female world champions (one for park, one for street). Skateboarders will also get much needed ranking points as we head towards the Paris 2024 Olympics. So there is a LOT at stake!

Live stream hosts for both Park and Street will be Marc Churchill, Samantha Bruce and Danny Wainwright.

The championships have two parts, the World Street Skateboarding Championships (Feb 1-5) and the World Park Skateboarding Championships (Feb 8-12).

Elle, Anna, Mayzie and Brooke

When we heard that four of our GN4LW team riders, Elle Warne from Utah, Brooke Benson and Mayzie Feher from Southern California and Anna Shea Reynolds-Madsen from Northern California, were headed out to Florida for the 2nd Annual CASL National Championships we were excited! The chance to travel, meet skaters from all over and skate new parks, is exactly what skateboarding is all about.

Mayzie - is the new 2022 (Double) National Champ in Vert/Bowl and Park/Mini (Girls of all ages)

Mayzie did something that isn’t easy to do, she came home with two huge trophies after winning Nationals for girls (all ages) in Vert/Bowl and Park/Mini! We hope the airlines upgraded her to first class on the way home and gave her ice cream for that double win!

Park Results - Elle took third, Mayzie 1st and Vilja took second - great job girls!!

Elle also made podium in girls Park - nice to see the two teammates up there along with another rad skater, Vilja from Utah.

Big congrats to Brooke for taking 5th in street and to Anna who took 5th in Vert/Bowl and 6th in Park/Mini. They both skated their hearts out and did a great job!

Overview of park + street venue - All info and images via World Skate

Get ready, because the first Olympic Qualifier for Park is almost here (Street will be happening too!) Aljada Skatepark in Sharjah UAE will host the two Olympic Qualifier events for the rescheduled World Skateboarding Tour Street & Park World Championships 2022.

Park competition venue

WHEN:

Jan 29th - Feb 5th - Street World Championships
Feb 5th - Feb 12th - Park World Championships

WHERE:

Aljada Skatepark in Sharjah, UAE

The skatepark complex currently consists of six separate parks, ranging from a California Skateparks-designed world-class, Olympic-level street course and park construction complete with two deep ends (3.3M), all the way down to smaller bowls, street sections, snake runs and beginner- level spaces. The parks are currently open to ride up until the 15th of January when preparations for our stellar showdown must begin!

Aljada Skatepark is at the heart of the Madar entertainment complex designed by internationally-acclaimed Zaha Hadid Architects. Around 300 skateboarders from all over the world will compete across both events at the recently-completed Aljada Skate Park, the biggest facility of its type in the region created by industry-leaders California Skateparks. Skaters taking part in the WST Sharjah World Championships will secure points toward qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

This weekend was nerve wracking for so many people in skateboarding. It was the weekend of the semi- finals and finals for the 2022 USA National Skateboarding Championships, presented by Toyota, that took place at CATF in Vista, CA. This event determines who will now be on the 2023 USA National Skateboarding Team. (This does NOT determine who will compete in Paris in 2024)

There was a huge new crop of female skaters trying out for the Women’s Street Division and an even larger group trying out for the Women’s Park Team. It was nice to see Jordyn Barratt, Minna Stess, Jordan Santana, Bryce Wettstein and Arianna Carmona still in the mix and competing at high levels. Twelve year old GN4LW team rider, Katelyn West, made the finals and was simply stoked to be skating with women she has looked up to since she started skating.

Rumor has it that the top TWO in each discipline will make the USA National Team and the other TWO spots (there are 4 spots total in each discipline) will be filled by the discretion of USA Skateboarding. We are eagerly waiting for the official announcement. We are also hoping they will share the criteria of how the selections are made for the 2 other spots. Points from previous year? Potential gauged at event? Or?

Stay Tuned!!!

Congrats to all the skaters this weekend!

We have to thank all the support this event was given this year, not only by our amazing sponsors but also Girls Play LA,  LA Parks and Rec, and the City of Los Angeles.

We say this every year, but it is so true... The best part of this event is seeing so many girls come out and skate, meet one another, and form friendships, and they now have a group of girls to continue skating with throughout the year. That's what keeps these girls progressing.

Huge thanks to the City of Los Angeles, LA Recreation and Parks, Venice Recreation Center, Venice Art Walls, DJ VRSA, Skate Park Association International, Heidi Lemmon, Lance Lemond, Kimi Kallman, Bart Saric our fabulous announcer, Lonnie Hiramoto, all the judges and volunteers, the photographers - Lauren Muller, Gale Webb, and Chris Hooten, who covered the event, as well as the numerous sponsors who sent so much product that the girls went home with a big bags of swag.

Hope to see everyone again next year!

Thanks to Chris Hooten for the use of all his images!

This is one of our favorite events of the year! Not only because Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word is a co-host of the event, but because this is the day that non-traditional skaters take over Venice Skatepark for a fun day of skating and competing. From the youngest skaters in the “Pup Cup” to 25+ skaters, this event has something for everyone! We hand out medals and so many prizes from our awesome sponsors - it really is the best! In past years, we have seen over 100 non-traditional skaters show up and compete - skaters from all over the world to skate the legendary Venice Skatepark with us!

Save the Date, and we can’t wait to see you there!!

We also now have an early sign-up form link (this is a FREE event!) HERE

Well, it’s finally here - the SLS Super Crown Championship, and you can watch the women compete LIVE from Rio de Janeiro… Nov. 5-6th.

Rayssa Leal is hoping to take it after winning the last three SLS contests - Jacksonville, Seattle, and Las Vegas. But as we know, anything can happen at an SLS event. Tune in because so many women want that trophy, and Rayssa will be battling Pamela Rosa, Yumeka Oda, Momiji Nishiya, and four other skaters that make it through the “last chance qualifier” to compete in the finals.

P.S. we have our eye on the young newcomers Chloe Covell and Poe Pinson, to make it through to the finals. Fingers crossed!

It’s going to be something you don’t want to miss!!

We are so thankful that this Pandemic is coming to an end and that Exposure Skate is back to being an in-person event! We love that Exposure did virtual contests for the past two years to keep the stoke going, but there is nothing better than seeing these non-traditional skaters shred in person!

Juno ~ Photo @ianloganphoto x @girlisnota4letterword

We have so many great images from Day 1 that we will be running some here and some on our Instagram. There was so much talent at this contest you could not look away or even take a quick bathroom break, or you’d miss a spectacular run! There were skaters from China, a whole team from Australia, Japan was there, and a whole new crop of Americans showed up to show what’s been happening these past two years - and believe us when we tell you that the level of skating has risen substantially! And we are talking about every age group!

Stay tuned for more Exposure photos this coming week!

First off, we want to wish our bestie, Judi Oyama, a very Happy Birthday! She turns 63 years young on Saturday, and as many of you know from previous posts, Judi qualified to for Team USA to compete at the World Skate Games 2022 in Argentina in Slalom Racing.

There are no age divisions in men’s or women’s slalom racing at this level, so this is a kick-ass story that everyone should get behind!

Judi racing in her teens - photo Richard Oyama

Judi has been skateboarding since she was a pre-teen and has kept up with slalom throughout her life. She tells us she was floored when this came up and was told that she had enough points to be one of the USA Team to go to Argentina this month to compete.

Her first idea was to give her spot up to someone younger. But that’s not how this works - you earned it - you got it! So the more she thought about it and listened to friends and family, she came to the conclusion that she would go and she’d gear up and hopefully win a medal for Team USA when it’s all said and done.

But she didn’t stop there. Judi reached out to younger women in slalom and taught them skills to help them train more efficiently - even the women who lived all the way across the country. Her goal is to help the newest generation enjoy slalom the way she does and for more women to continue this rich skateboarding tradition.

Judi also single-handily designed the USA Team t-shirts for herself and her fellow racers, she designed and ordered stickers and more - all to get everyone on the same page so they’d look and feel like a co-cohesive team.

Team USA Slalom stickers Judi Designed and made for her teammates

** Slalom is not an Olympic Discipline (yet), so there is no funding - each racer must pay their own way, and there are no team uniforms provided by the country you are racing for - someone needed to do it, and Judi stepped up and did. She also showed other team members how to fundraise by reaching out to sponsors, asking for donations, and showing why telling people what you are doing and asking for what you want/need is important.

Today is Judi Oyama’s 63rd birthday, and we’d like to wish her not only a very Happy Birthday, all the best when she heads to Argentina next week to compete.

Judi is an inspiration to so many in skateboarding, and we can’t wait to see this Badass Skate Mom shred that hill!

GO JUDI!!

If you want to help support her journey or send Judi a little Happy Birthday gift - you can do so through LaCosta Racing Team, which is non-profit, and you can donate tax-free to support her via this LINK.

Please make sure you put JUDI OYAMA in the notes so the funds will go to her fundraising account.

The largest contest of the year, EXPOSURE SKATE is happening October 22-23 in Encinitas, CA, If you haven’t already signed up to compete, do so NOW because space is limited! This legendary event is 100% inclusive of women, trans, non-binary, and other gender-diverse individuals and is a safe space for all! Trust us when we say there is nothing else like it anywhere in the world.

This rad event is the brainchild of Olympian Amelia Brodka and Lesli Cohen, Exposure Skate was started to address the issue of the lack of events (and prize money) for women in skate. It is open to all ages and draws skaters from all over the world. The event also serves as a benefit for survivors of domestic violence.

Located in Encinitas, the event takes place at “Poods Park,” as the locals call it, and has a vendor village, Tony Hawk’s Vert Ramp, a street course, and an amazing bowl. There will be cash for tricks - longest grind and highest air. There are numerous divisions - from Intermediate and Advanced to Golden (skaters 30+) and the pro division.

Besides competing, it’s a great place to meet your favorite pro or Olympic skater, get an autograph, watch the pros skate, and hang out with friends.

To learn more, go to Exposure Skate!
