I used to knock about with a few skaters who turned pro and buggered off to California to skate. The skill involved pretty impressive and they sustained some pretty awful injuries at times.

amazing job :clap1: really enjoyed watching that, how supportive they all were of each other, rushing over to congratulate even a failed run :love:

She isn't the youngest, though - the silver medal went to a 12 year old.
