The now-14 year-old has been on a constant and steady rise to the top of park skateboarding ever since. By the time she turned eight, Minna was winning competitions such as the Northern California Amateur Skateboard League. During the King of Groms Championship in 2014, Minna was the first female to compete in all three finals (street, mini ramp and bowl), the first female to win mini ramp, and the first female to win an “ATV” award.In 2018, Minna came in 1st place during the Mystic Skate Cup Ladies Bowl in Prague and took 2nd at La Kantera in Spain.More recently, she has competed in the X Games and Dew Tour and took 3rd place in the 2019 USA Skateboarding National Championships Women’s Park Finals.Follow Minna on social:Facebook (@minnastess)Instagram (@minnastess)In The Zone will be watching Minna’s path to the Olympics closely, and you should too!
