This past weekend, GRO Rider Erin Wolfkiel claimed first overall for the women’s division at Oregon Trifecta. This is great to for two reasons.

First, Julie Lynn (aka Julie Kindstrand) has been undefeated for years in the concrete bowl series. Both of the last two stops of Trifecta, no more. This marks the return of the battle for the top in the concrete arena. Girls are stepping up and the reigning thoughts of what was the top skill level is no more. The opportunity is out there, who will be ones to push the limit?

Second, Erin Wolfkiel was found at Ollie’s Skatepark in Florence, Kentucky. She had been skating for less than two years. She attended the GRO Workshop and wanted to drop into the vert ramp. She did not see her own potential. Now just a few years later and here she is winning Oregon Trifecta, Congrats Erin!
