i came into this hoping parker would have some sick shots but expecting ingrid to have the more impressive lines. but as much as i love ingrid, holy shit michelle parker just impressed the shit out of me. some of those drops were biiiig, and the only one that really stood out in ingrid's was the pillow line

For really short videos, they have wayyy too much filler in them. Boring.

That street skate chick should win it all. Much more impressive than any of the others.

Michelle and Ingrid's videos really disappointed me. I could find 20 random people at Snowbird on any given day, regardless of conditions, and film them on bigger drops with better tricks. If you are trying to showcase women's athletic prowess to outside audiences, you could do a better job.

Jess Kimura slayed also, so she should have a shot.
