Important question: Who are the skaters really pushing the boundaries of women’s street skating today? Looking around the world, the conversation definitely has to include young Rizu ‘Liz’ Akama from Miyagi, Japan. Quietly rising through the ranks, the rookie prefers to let her skating do the talking – and it sure speaks LOUD! Liz can tackle large rails and Hubbas with technical bangers like Barley grinds and frontside feebles. All with enough control and finesse to throw in a revert or shove-it out. On the contest circuit, her consistent style has already earned big-ticket wins in Olympic qualifier events in Rome and Dubai as well as the Street League Select Series contest in Los Angeles. But her skating truly shines in the streets, where Liz perfects the next generation of mind-boggling tech tricks. Stay tuned to witness the next level!
