Motto Rider Gaby Ponce wins Dew Tour Women's Vert
Wednesday, 07 July 2010

From Allisports.com:  As a relative newcomer on the pro vert scene, 18-year-old Ponce unseated reigning champ Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins to take the win and become the 2010 women’s ISF World Champion for vert. And she could hardly believe the outcome herself.

“I didn’t expect it, you know, because I’m the new kid out here,” Ponce said. “I’m just so grateful, and especially to my parents for supporting me.”

But it was her solid tricks that got her the win, including a kickflip indy, a gay twist and a lez twist. She improved upon her second-place finish at last year’s event to take the win this year.

The girls got four 30-second runs each, and the best two runs were used to calculate the results.

“I liked this ordered jam better than the traditional jam because it gives me a chance to calm down and skate,” Ponce said.

Ponce is from New Jersey and didn’t have to travel far to get the Boston competition. But she’s heading to Southern California next month for X Games and staying in the area permanently to go to college in San Diego.

“San Diego is pretty much the mecca for skateboarding, and back at home I have to drive two hours to a vert ramp, so I’ll be five minutes away and it will be so convenient.”
