2. Kristin Ebeling (USA)
3. Lois Pendlebury (UK)
4. Emma Lindgren (SWE)

Alexis Sablone takes X Games Street Gold

What a weekend, X Games 16 in Los Angeles, California was awesome!! Alexis Sablone, the 24 year old from Brooklyn, took gold even though she didnt like the tea cup quarterpipe, which was modeled after a sculpture in Miami. Sablone used the stairs, rails and the stairs’ ledges en route to winning the women’s street gold medal on Sunday afternoon:

“All these girls were awesome skating” said Sablone, who finished with a silver medal last year. “I grew up skating my garage and parking lots. I never went to places like here. I was worried about it. So I did what I could and did not worry about what I couldn’t do.”

Although she was trailing Leticia Bufoni by a wide margin, she did a kickflip 50-50 rail grind to start her 86.00 winning run and did a frontside rail slide on the ledge to take the win.

“I love my kickflips,” she said. “It’s hard when things are big. It becomes a question to what tricks to try and do consistently. It was the kickflips and that rail. That definitely was my favorite section.”

Bufoni, a 17-year-old from Los Angeles who grew up in Brazil, finished second with a kickflip down the stairs and kickflip up a ramp. Evelyn Bouillart of Belgium finished third with a 50-50 grind down the rail on her final run. Covina’s Lacey Baker failed to advance from the elimination round. The Northview High School senior finished ninth overall with a best score of 60.33.

“Everything was kind of gnarly,” the 17-year-old said. “In general, I was not feeling this contest.” That said, she was the only skater to complete a 360 kickflip up the ramp and do a nollie kickflip over the gap.

The full ladies street results were as follows:

1. Alexis Sablone
2. Leticia Bufoni
3. Marisa Dal Santo
4. Evelien Bouilliart
5. Elissa Steamer
6. Amy Caron
7. Vanessa Torres
8. Abisha Alshebaiki
9. Lacey Baker
10. Lorena Lima

Girls Skateboarding in Switzerland

Hi everyone. I’m actually posting this on a balcony at 1500m overlooking the Swiss Alps as the Sun comes up. Amazing! Myself, and Greg (Rubicon) have been joined by two friends from Sweden, Anna and Tobias. The journey here – accidental business class – was class!! Since Switzerland is like a second home for me, I thought I’d give everyone some info on the upcoming girls comp here and also a few results from the past:

NASS Girls Comp Results & Video

First of all, let me just say that I am absolutely gutted to have missed what appears to have been THE girls skate comp of the year!! I’m almost sick with envy!! Reports are already coming in from tonnes of different sources saying that the Rubicon sponsored Girlzilla comp absolutely raised the bar for girls skateboarding and received crazy amounts of support from the NASS faithful.

The results were:
1st Leticia Bufoni (Brazil)
2nd Evelien Bouilliart (Belgium)
3rd Lucy Adams (UK)
4th Helena Long (UK)
5th Emma Lindgren (Sweden)

A huge shout out has to go to all the girls who competed in front of a packed audience, a massive thank you to Danni for organising so much of the event, to Jenna for her judging and photos, to Powell and Churchill for some legendary commentating and to the hundreds of supporters who made an incredible amount of noise!!

We’ll have lots more pictures, video and a full write up soon, but for now check out the Sidewalk edit below who described the girls jam “as the best thing to come out of NASS”.

Mystic Skate Cup 2010

The 16th annual Mystic Sk8 Cup 2010 went down last weekend and was again a part of the World Cup Skateboarding (WCS) contest series. For our new readers on here, this event is traditionally one of the most popular summer holiday events in Prague and professional riders consider it the best contest in Europe. Basically from Friday 2nd until Sunday 4th of July, the top female riders competed for some serious cash of $5,450.

Both contests – street and bowl, were designed by skateboarding legends Dave Duncan, Brian Patch and Radek Teichmann.

In the Ladies bowl, Brazilian Leticia Bufoni was the best from five participating ladies and got, in addition to the World Cup Skateboarding points, a cool 300 USD as the prize money. Second place went to Renatinha Paschini from Brazil and third to American lady Lacey Baker.

Meanwhile in the womens street contest, the glory (point and cash $2000) went to Lacey Baker from the United States followed by bowl winner Leticia Bufoni from Brazil and third Evelien Bouilliard from Belgium.

There was some amazing riding and I’m sure we’ll have footage of the event soon, but in the meantime you can check our a few pictures from Ana Paula Negrao of Leticia skating.

Mistake after mistake

I did a split today, and it wasn’t voluntary… it was quite involuntary and it hurt like hell.

I walked home from the skatepark like an old man with shit in his pants. Climbing the stairs to my apartment wasn’t exactly easy either, I live on the 4th floor with no elevator. When I came home I thought to myself, a bath might help. So I took a long hot bath with a good book and after I laid down on my couch under my quilt. But it still hurt so I called my dad, who has medical training, and asked if he had any tips. The first thing he said was “keep it cold!”. Apparently what I have is a sort of internal bleeding and heat makes it bleed more… So much for my female intuition. So now I’m sitting here with frozen brusselsprouts on the back of my thigh.
