Girls in the competition: not many but very<br />

good ones<br />

February 11th was the official first contest day with semi-final<br />

heats scheduled. The wind started picking up first thing<br />

in the morning and by 12pm the contest was on! We started<br />

the women's heat with all 6 riders: Annelous Lammerts,<br />

Victoria Soloveykina, Isabel Von Zastrow, Manuela Jungo,<br />

Colleen Carroll and yours truly.<br />

The level of the ladies has really stepped up this year<br />

and every single one of the girls was charging. We cycled<br />

through each feature (Air Asia Roof Top Rail, North Fun Box,<br />

and the Solaire Kicker). Annelous Lammerts really stepped<br />

it up by landing the first Double Pass, a toe-side Backside<br />

540, to ever be done by a woman off of a static feature in a<br />

competition. The crowd went nuts!
