Oklahoma US Nationals Results


Congratulations to Amber who came 3rd in Opens Women at the US Nationals. Amber was the current two time national champion going into this event, unfortunately she was unable to hold onto her title for a third year in a row, though she did put up a fight. Amber has been riding extremely consistent which showed throughout her two passes getting a perfect krypt and large heel side 540 down, popping her tricks and landing them clean. She did however take a hard fall on the transfer box, though didn't let that shake her coming home strong knowing what she needed to do so that she could secure her place on the podium.

Dallas Friday and Nicola Butler were always going to be a threat for the title, Dallas surprised everybody by being the first girl to land an S-Bend in competition which is a trick that very few men can even perform. Nicola, the current Queen of Wake, wasn't fazed by Dallas showing her usual relaxed style throwing down a handle pass KGB and roll to blind along with her typical on and of axis spins.

1st. Dallas Friday
2nd Nicola Butler
3rd Amber Wing
4th Hayley Smith
5th Danni Petraitis
6th Raimi Merrit

This made an interesting change the Queen of Wake standings:

1. Dallas Friday - 280
2. Nicola Butler - 265
3. Amber Wing - 240
4. Raimi Merritt - 230
5. Hayley Smith - 187
6. Melissa Marquardt - 187
