Minna Stess

April 4, 2006 (Age 20)

United States

Regular

A skateboarder's skateboarder, Minna Stess has a delightfully rough edge to her skateboarding which suggests she knows her way around ditches and DIY skateparks just as much as she does the glassy surfaces of these showcase masterpiece parks of the WST. With a flawless style and great knee-tucking form on her grabs, she almost seems to hark back to an earlier era of skateboarding which belies her youth. While some of the girls skating here only skate parks with a view to competing, Minna is an all-round skateboarder who also enters contests. That may seem like a semantic distinction but it carries a lot of cultural weight within skateboarding itself.
