Regular
Despite having very limited sponsorship, Coco made it to the WST World Championships 2022 in Sharjah and was also invited to 2023’s Tokyo Uprising event where she showed a marked improvement, including a big spin frontside board slide on the Hollywood High-replica rail there. The fact her completed run in both semi-finals and finals at WST Tokyo hovered around the mid-60’s when others were in the 80’s seems to be where she can improve most, but that said she showed a lot of poise for her (or indeed any) age. With a rapidly-expanding trick repertoire her 4th place in Lausanne demonstrates how quickly she is closing in.
