Arisa Trew set herself up as the skateboarder to beat in X Games California, the first XGames to offer women's vert in 13 years, after the 13-year-old won Tony Hawk's Vert Alert at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City over the weekend.
Arisa Trew leads pack of teens taking over discipline, which hasn’t been offered by X Games since 2010
“I’m so stoked,” Trew said Friday after qualifying second. “I hadn’t seen one, really, or even heard of it.”, where she skated against a very talented and very young crop of riders. When X-Games organizers canceled the women’s division, they cited, among other factors, a lack of interest and upcoming talent. Since then, it appears vert has had a resurgence. Rounding out the top three were 16-year-old Asahi Kaihara of Japan and 10-year-old Reese Nelson of Canada.
Kaihara said through a translator that she has seen more women dropping into the vert ramps at parks. High-caliber competitions are a little more difficult to find, however, so that, more than qualifying for the X Games, is why she said she made the trip from Japan.With this new generation of vert women also comes a new level of skill. In the semifinals, Trew attends a school geared toward developing skateboarders and on Friday became only the third woman known to have performed a varial 540.
