Poppy Star wins the Vans Girls Combi Classic
A new victor claimed the Vans Girls Combi Classic title on Saturday when 15-year-old Poppy Star from Australia won her first official Pro contest! Poppy has been a rising star over the last few years ever since she dominated the 14 and under division to earn first in the rankings during the 2014 World Cup Skateboarding bowl series. In 2015, she follows suit and finished the year off again as #1 in the 15 and over division.
With a triumphant performance that fueled competition against four previous Combi Pool winners, Poppy Star claimed her first Combi Classic title. Final scores for the podium resulted in close calls for the entire competitive field, only to award 2013 title holder Nora Vasconcellos with second place, and Vans team rider Lizzie Armanto with third place.
The total prize purse of $22,000 awarded 16 incredible performances across three divisions. See final Pro Division results below.
