Leticia Bufoni scored a total of 86 points and won the women’s skateboarding event in the X games on Sunday. She scored points with her awesome crooked grind and overcrook. She is especially good with ollies and flips but she totally nailed the competition with her 180 ollie that was done over the big stairs and one of the three moves that put her into the leading position that eventually caused her to win the overall event and take first position. She is no doubt the best female skater in the world right now.
Leticia Bufoni is Brazilian and is a total monster at ollies and grill. In the competition on Sunday she used mostly the guard grills to score more points and she was very successful with that. Her approach to the lead is really incredible because she doesn’t go for extremely big moves back to back, instead she focuses on doing small ollies, flips and grinds very frequently to score high. This is by far the best strategy any female skater could adopt because most of the time big time hot shot skaters try big moves frequently and fail in one or two of them scoring for mostly just one or two big-air moves every two to three runs. Leticia however, made a lot of runs, including the runs between the short transition periods, and performed short and safe moves occasionally nailing a big Ollie.
Leticia’s win is proof about her strategy and despite the fact that she doesn’t do many high air tricks, she still nailed the competition.
