etnies Girl Skaters Sweep The Global Assault!

And the winner is…

Congratulations to Elissa Steamer, Evelien Bouilliart and Lauren Perkins for cleaning up at The Global Assault, which took place in Melbourne, Australia, over the weekend! etnies Girl’s finest took home first, second and third, respectively.

Elissa’s win secured her a spot in the men’s semi-finals, where she pulled out a seventh place finish. It wasn’t enough to advance her to the finals, but it was a commendable finish against some tough competition and ended up putting $500 in her pocket.

This year’s contest featured a newly revamped street course design with a massive 40-foot roll-in (10 feet higher than last year) and a 15-foot-2-inch vert quarter pipe. The girls wreaked carnage on the new course with an array of tricks in front of a capacity crowd. Highlights from Elissa’s run included backlips and kickflip front boards on the flatbar, nollies up the big Euro gap and ollies over the big rail.
