Congratulations to etnies Girl Norwegian skater Kristina Westad for taking first place this past weekend, May 27, at the Girl’s Skate Jam at the Pioneer Skatepark in St Albans, UK. Kristina—who is known as “The Viking” because she’s from Molde, Norway, and a real fighter—had a winning run that consisted of a backside boardslide on the flat bar, frontside boardslide on the down rail, backside 50-50, a nice 360 flip, smooth frontside 5-0s on the quarter and a stylish lipslide on the rail. As if winning first place wasn’t enough, she also won the Best Trick session with a huge frontside flip into the bank. Go, Viking, go! After getting second at the etnies Girl PUSH JAM at the etnies European Open in Munich just two weeks ago, this is already the second big success this month for Kristina. etnies Girl team rider Evelien Bouilliart was skating as well, but unfortunately she tweaked her ankle. We wish her all the best and a quick recovery!
