QA With Skateboarder Lauren Perkins

How would you describe the day? The day couldn’t have been any better! I won at my home town, with most of my friends and family there. I was so happy.

Who did you hang with? Did you meet anyone you were dying to meet? No, for the most part I just kept to myself and hung out with my friends and family who were there to watch.

What is it like to have a day of sports all about girls in such a male dominated world? I think it’s really awesome!!!! And for women’s sports to get out there and become bigger we need events like Supergirl.

What did you do, what did you wear, what did you eat? I wore Etnies shoes and socks, True Religion jeans, an Etnies red tanktop, Oakley shades, and Skullcandy headphones.

How many hours did you practice/”perform”? 2 hours before the pre-lims and 2 hours before finals.

What inspires you about the S3 Supergirl Jam? That every girl went out there and gave it her best!

Best trick of the day? Front side blunt slide by Evelien Bouilliart.

Any wipe outs to share? Yeah, on Friday morning I was there doing some news stuff and I fell wrong on my foot and rolled it pretty bad.

What is your sports motto? I’m not really sure but for me its “never give up”

Did you try anything new? Yeah I did a lip slide which I had never landed in a contest.

How do you keep your energy up all day? I just knew I wanted to win; I just stayed focused on that and just stayed happy.

Were you exhausted after?  What did you do when you went home/back to hotel/etc.? Yeah, I was exhausted after but still went out with my friends to celebrate the win.
