With the biggest prize purse ever in women’s skate - $20k for 1st, $15k for 2nd, and $10k for 3rd, the ladies brought it at women’s street comp at the X-Games!! So stoked about such a showing - finally much of the Alliance’s work is paying off - in getting girls recognized and seen out there skating - though not all televised - :(.
