X Games did not disappoint! Watching the women skate like we have never seen before, made our heart sing. The field gets younger and younger and that is not a bad thing. These young girls and women want this. They don’t feel the need to do the same tricks that they’ve seen other female skaters do for years and years. They are pushing the boundaries and soaring past preconceived expectations. For this new wave of female skaters, there are NO limits.

From 1st time X Games competitor Shilo Catori, who has been skating for just fours years and made the women’s street finals, to Chloe Covell who had flawless runs in women’s street and went on to win gold, it was a great morning! By the afternoon when women’s vert (yes, it’s finally back at the X Games!) started and the women and girls were shining bright, it was a full on proud moment when I knew that girls and women in skateboarding are going to be all right. These women’s comps are no longer the after thought or fillers, they are becoming the main attraction. It took us from the 70s until now to really see it, but it is finally happening!

Thanks to all these girls and women for pushing skateboarding so far!

Women’s Skateboard Street

The action got underway Saturday morning with the women of Skateboard Street competing first. Australian Chloe Covell surprised everyone with her third and final run to take gold. Covell’s winning 45-second run included: Frontside nosegrind on bar, heelflip down 4-block, frontside 5-0 on picnic table bench, switch kickflip up step-up, frontside 50-50 kickflip on the big out-rail, frontside 50-50 kickflip from 10-foot long out-rail. At 13, this is Covell’s first gold medal, and solidifies her as the youngest X Games Women’s Street Gold Medalist. 

“This is very overwhelming,” Covell admitted right after winning gold. “I’m super stoked, X Games is one of my favorite contests to compete in, and all the other girls did great– I’m just so stoked!” she beamed.

Rounding out the podium were Japanese riders, Liz Akama and Momiji Nishiya, who placed second and third respectively, and scored within one point of each other.

Pacifico Women’s Skateboard Vert

The pint-sized 13-year-old Arisa Trew, who hails from Australia, stunned the crowd at Pacifico Women’s Vert by stomping a massive last run. She went alley-oop backside air, McTwist, frontside air, body varial 540, lein varial, air to fakie, switch frontside air, fakie frontside 360, air to fakie, to fakie Weddle 720. This 720 was the first to be landed in a competition, however, Arisa also holds the title of the first woman to land this trick. She first did so after the clock expired in the Vert Best Trick contest at Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert in June. 

“I feel amazing, because I really just wanted to do my 7 in my run, and I did it!” an emotional Trew admitted about her win. She went on to say that this X Games win is motivation for her to continue to push her skills, and has her sights set on stopping a 900 in a contest one day soon. 

Reese Nelson, the youngest X Games competitor to ever win a X Games medal, at just 10 years old, claimed silver, while Asahi Kaihara claimed third.

X Games Street Course Preview

Park at X Games Ventura

Ventura, CA – July 11, 2023 – This summer, fans will be treated to an all-star talent team of Selema Masekela, Jason Ellis and Tony Hawk hosting the X Games on ESPN and ABC, alongside streaming host Jack Mitrani hosting the YouTube, Twitch and Caffeine coverage from July 21-23. In addition, Kristen Beat will provide sideline reporting for the host teams throughout the weekend.

The definitive storyteller of action sports culture, Selema Maskela joins the crew again in Ventura after his recent return as host of X Games Aspen in January. Known as X Games' original and long-standing host; he has also been at the helm of Red Bull Signature Series, VICE World of Sports and served as a correspondent for FIFA World Cup, Olympics and National Geographic.

 Also returning to the X Games talent booth is the godfather of skating himself, Tony Hawk. One of the most recognized action sports athletes in the world, in 1999, he became the first skater to ever complete a 900, and shortly thereafter, launched Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, his now billion-dollar video game franchise. The Hawk empire includes Birdhouse Skateboards, Hawk Clothing, and the Tony Hawk Signature Series products, as well as his production company, 900 Films.

 Back as part of the X Games team this year for the first time in over 20 years is multi hyphenate athlete-performer Jason Ellis, who himself competed in the first-ever Skateboard Big Air contest at X Games. Currently hosting the Hawk vs. Wolf Podcast alongside Tony Hawk, and The Jason Ellis Show Podcast, which he previously hosted on SIRIUS XM for 15 years. Jason Ellis is also an accomplished MMA fighter, LGBTQ + Advocate, New York Times best-selling author, actor, singer and, most recently, stand-up comedian.

 Hosting the streaming coverage will be longtime X Games personality Jack Mitrani, who will be joined by guest hosts including Brandon Graham, Alexa Score, along with many other X Games legends and athletes. Jack is a former pro snowboarder who joined the telecast team as X Games host in 2017. He is also the creator of the Frendly Gathering music festival and a Martin Guitar ambassador.

 Reporting from the sidelines will be current World Supercross correspondent Kristen Beat, who brings 10 years of experience as a sports reporter covering everything from Supercross to NASCAR to football and baseball.

Providing play-by-play for all skateboard events, Brandon Graham – World of X Games host since 2013 – returns to the X Games talent team.  

 Graham is joined by Corbin Harris, who returns year to provide Skateboard Park and Vert analysis. Starting his career as a pro skateboarder, Corbin then transitioned to presenting with Fuel TV and Fox Sports, then X Games and Nitro World Games. Corbin also has added agent to his resume – he’s a partner and sports and entertainment manager at The Familie, representing many action sports athletes.

 Amelia Brodka will provide analysis for the women’s skateboard events, and Gary Rogers will provide analysis for the Skateboard Street contests.

 Longtime play-by-play presenter Jimmy Coleman will call both BMX and Moto X events. He’ll be joined by former X Games gold medalists Scotty Cranmer (BMX) and Blake “Bilko” Williams (Moto X) providing analysis for their respective sports.

Interviews with female skaters such as; Amelia Brodka, Cindy Whitehead, Peggy Oki, Lynn Kramer, Alex White, and more are insightful and honest in their assessment of skateboarding through the years.

You may have caught Arisa Trew’s HERstory making 720 in our recap video of Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert, but if you didn’t, or just want to watch herstory being made again, you can catch it here. We decided that when INSIDE EDITION decides to talk about a female skateboarder , that is the one we want to run with - pretty big deal as Arisa is everywhere these days getting the praise she deserves for her remarkable feat!

Arisa has inspired and shown skater girls everywhere that this is possible. We bet we will see many more girls in the coming year push to add this trick to their Olympic Qualifying runs.

If you didn’t catch this live you can still watch it here - and you should! The skating by all the women in the final far surpassed what we saw last year and that’s saying a lot. Arisa Trew nailed it every run and was flawless, Asashi held her on and was right on Arisa’s tail throughout the comp. The youngest competitor, Reese Nelson was looking strong with a bag full of tricks and took a well deserved third. Later Reese went on to win “Best Trick”. That’s a full day for a ten-year-old!

We can’t wait for the X Games in Ventura, CA in July to see these eight women skate again and see how the podium looks!

Congrats to all the women who competed this weekend!

Red Bull Does it AGAIN!!

London’s Natural History Museum is famous throughout the world both for its collections (including the giant blue whale skeleton known as Hope) and the architectural sweep of the building itself.

Open since the 1880’s, the city’s grandest museum is a mere stone’s throw from the Royal Albert Hall location of our 2016 Hold The Line contest, and so when the opportunity to get locked into the space’s possibilities arose, we were all-in.

From Argentina, Belgium, the Philippines and Brazil four of our favourite women in the world answered the call to skate one of the world’s most famous locations for one night only.

Margie Didal, Leticia Bufoni, Lore Bruggeman and Aldana Bertran all converged for a never-to-be-repeated skate session inside the fabled halls- all on the proviso that whatever went down nothing got broken!

With just a few minor mods required the session was on, with an injured Margie in charge of hype duties throughout the night as our squad bagged as much footage as they could from an almost unbelievably photogenic environment.

Enjoy their new mini-film from this once-in-a-lifetime shared experience as Red Bull continues to take skateboarding everywhere we can!

School’s out and you can skate all day long. Maybe fueling up on skate videos is the perfect thing at night when you want to chill but still have skating on your mind… Here are a couple you should check out.

Nike SB has dropped another “Not Here By Luck” video on womxn skaters.

The “Not Here By Luck” series has been shining a light on emerging talents within women’s skateboarding. The latest episode heads to Sweden to link up with Stockholm's Vilma Stål.

Gassed Up is another rad video from Nike Skateboarding featuring Nicole Hause, Hayley Wilson, Arin Lester, Sarah Meurle, Chloe Covell, Victoria Ruesga, and more.

ENJOY!!!

Section Z + X Games to Introduce Young Females to Skateboarding

Ventura, CA - June 14, 2023 - X Games California 2023 will celebrate women’s skateboarding in several ways during the event July 21-23, highlighted by the addition of the first-ever Women’s Skateboard Street Best Trick competition and the return of Women’s Skateboard Vert for the first time since 2010. X Games will also celebrate women’s day on Saturday, June 22.

Over the past decade, women’s skateboarding has progressed exponentially, with stars like Sky Brown, Rayssa Leal and Leticia Bufoni gaining global fame. With Skateboard Park and Street joining the Olympic roster for Tokyo 2020, more qualifying events have been added to the competition season, which has only pushed the level even higher.

In 2023, Tony Hawk’s Vert Alert will serve as a qualifier for the X Games California 2023 Vert competitions, with the podium finishers earning an automatic invite to Ventura. The women’s field for the June 23-24 Vert Alert includes many familiar faces like Bryce Wettstein, Arisa Trew and Grace Marhoefer who all compete in the Park discipline at X Games as well. A longtime Vert skater and proponent of women’s Vert skating, Sky Brown will also be invited to compete at X Games.

After hosting Men’s Skateboard Street Best Trick competitions since 2019, the Women’s discipline will be added for the first time in 2023. Athletes like Rayssa Leal, Olympic gold medalist Momiji Nishiya and trick master Yumeka Oda will compete in the discipline.

Since 2007, all women’s skateboarding disciplines receive the same prize purse as the men’s disciplines. 

 

X Games and Section Z will partner to help grow the sport of skateboarding among women by providing access and exposure for a diverse group of local females at X Games California. Section Z’s mission is to expose young female athletes to live sports by reserving a dedicated section at professional sporting events. At X Games, they will bring 200 female high school students from the LA area to X Games where they will take in live competitions, participate in learn to ride sessions and interact with female athletes and executives to show them what is possible for women in sports.

X Games will celebrate Women’s Day at the event on Saturday, June 21 with female athlete autograph signings, female-only learn to ride sessions, gift bags for the first 300 women entering the event and more.

 

X Games California 2023 tickets are available now at XGames.com. In addition to general admission tickets, X Games offers several hospitality and experiences which include meet and greets, behind the scenes access and more.

That’s right, we will be at the Oakley Store in Santa Monica doing a mini ramp session with our rad team of girls and we’d love for you to come join us for an open skate session!

The article talks to Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word founder, Cindy Whitehead,about her 70’s pro skateboarding career and goes deep on what the mission of Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word is all about.

THE FULL GLORIOUS SPORT ARTICLE —> HERE

The podium is getting younger and younger in women’s skateboarding these days. With fourteen-year-olds ruling the park and throwing down tricks that take women’s skateboarding to new heights, it’s a pleasure to see.

Brazil, Australia, Great Britain, Germany, and Japan ruled the finals (the USA didn’t have a skater qualify this time around) and the battle was fierce. It’s not just throwing down a line anymore, it’s strategy, variation of the three runs and more that come into play. We watched the women adjust as they saw scores get higher when another skater did a certain trick and they immediately pivoted to change up their run.

It was the best women’s park final we have seen!

Congrats to all the competitors who skated at the Olympic Qualifiers in San Juan, Argentina!
