Vans Global Skateboarder Arisa Trew continues making history in skateboarding. In 2023, she became the first woman to land a 720 on a skateboard and then the first to perform the trick in a competition run, clinching the Women’s Skateboard Vert gold at X Games California 2023.
The next day, Trew added another win with the Women’s Skateboard Park Gold, making her the youngest X Games double gold medalist at 13, which led to her being honored with the 2024 Laureus World Sports Award for Action Sports Person of the Year. Following the award, Trew became the first woman to land a Switch 540.
Trew has taken skateboarding to greater heights by becoming the first female to land a 900, a feat accomplished 25 years after Tony Hawk’s groundbreaking achievement.
“I was in so much shock when I landed the 900; it’s been a dream of mine since I made my first 540. It’s just awesome pushing women’s skateboarding,” said Trew.
