Making History: Arisa Trew on Being the First Female Skateboarder to Land a 900!
Arisa Trew, the 14-year-old from Cairns, Australia, and ranked 5th overall in the World Skateboarding Rankings, just had the most ceiling-shattering year in the recent history not just of skateboarding but action sports more generally.
Beginning the year just outside of podium contention with a 4th at WST Dubai, she then went foot-to-the-floor on a spree including but limited to two OQS Park victories, an Olympic gold medal, two X Games golds, receiving a Laureus Action Sportsperson Of The Year award- and ended the year by being crowned Vert World Champion at WSG Italia in Rome, too.
Notwithstanding all of that, she also put down a history-making marker that May by becoming the first woman ever to do the 900.
