Why skaters like it
Comes up in threads about young girls landing 540s, like the Sabre Norris thread. It shows an early look at Alana Smith before her Olympic and X Games career.

I'm definitely a fan of Sky Siljeg [VIDEO]. Run into him a couple times at hastings and his skating is always really creative. I've been following this spanish kid Jamie Mateu [VIDEO] online for a couple years. Like Cardiel he tends to look for the biggest, most terrifying transfers possible in every park. The Lifeblood team and Blood Wizzard team are both full of serious park rippers. Too lazy to link those ones but they're worth searching for. I like how Eric Winkowski [VIDEO] has mastered every invert variation 1985 had to offer, even though he wasn't alive to see them. And something that's new maybe since you were last around, more and more women are ripping the parks pretty hard these days. 12 year old girls can do McTwists now [VIDEO], it's pretty cool to see them finally getting more support in the skate world. Check out Lizzie Armanto's [VIDEO] recent part, and there's a whole generation of younger girls coming up behind her like Brighton Zeuner.
