ISF Women’s World Championships 2009
July of 2009 saw the Annual ISF Skateboarding World Championships in Boston, US.
The event allowed each of the twelve finalists one minute to skate freestyle, then five minutes to “jam” with five other participants (six total) on the course. The women with the top six scores after the initial two rounds of skating and jamming advanced to a final jam, which counted for 50% of the final score (the individual round was 20%, while the first jam was worth 30%).
The 2009 Women’s Park World Skateboarding Champion was ever-talented Vanessa Torres, who scored an 86.5 total with some killer moves on the course. The runner-up was crowd favorite Lacey Baker, earning 82.63 points, and back on the scene, Alexis Sablone (of Connecticut) came in third with a score of 80.95.

Hooked have done a great interview with London local girl Sam Bruce, who talks about her recent video filming, upcoming competitions, Morocca surf trip, fractured elbows and her sponsosrhip with Vans and Gallaz. Brief excerts below, but read the full story here.
What’s the worse bail you’ve ever experienced?
Skateboarding drunk at Notting Hill carnival a few months ago! We were on our way to a house party and we saw this rad drop in next to a set of stairs. I and one other were convinced we could make it…. Half an hour waiting for the ambulance, 3 hours in A&E and hey presto. I walk out with a fractured elbow. No fun!
It can be intimidating turning up at a skate spot and being the only girl, what keeps you pushing forward through the testosterone filled spots?
It used to be quite intimidating for the first part, but as you grow older times change, you become more tolerable and you make great friends along the way. After all these years i’m just starting to establish my ’skate group’. The people who make me feel part of the family and really push you to skate. You just feed off each others energy.
What trick have you got in your bag that shuts people down in a game of skate?
It used to be an ollie late shuv-it, but nowadays the kids just keep biting back.
