Evelien takes first place |
 15 year old, Evelien Bouilliart from Belgium takes first place at the girl jam during Munich’s Etnies European open presented by Element.
It was Evelien’s first contest outside of Belgium and despite being a bit nervous at first, she skated amazingly well. She raised the level by starting her final run with a feeble grind down the rail and moving on to fs 180 down the double set, 5-0 down the big ledge and the list goes on. During the 3 min jam she even landed fs boardslide and fs smith grind down the rail as well. Congratulations Evelien, we are very proud of you !
