X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013 WOMEN'S SKATEBOARD STREET: X GAMES THROWBACK

Flashback to April 21, 2013. X Games has gone global and after winter stops in Aspen and Tignes, we dipped down to Brazil for X Games Foz do Iguaçu 2013. On day four, Brazil's Leticia Bufoni stepped up her game on the final run to secure her first gold medal in a buzzer-beater over Leo Baker.

"I'm so f----ing happy," said Bufoni right after the win on Sunday, posting a 87.33. "I'm so stoked! I mean… I'm just so stoked."

She also credited her move to California with helping her progress toward her first gold. "There are a lot of skateparks [in California]," she said, "and here in Brazil we don't have a lot of skateparks."
Swapping out previously landed standards for higher-scoring maneuvers, such as a lip slide down the big rail to close out her winning run, Bufoni edged past Baker, 21, who held the lead for most of the 15-minute final jam session.

Baker, who won the bronze medal at X Games in 2006, was the contest's early standout with difficult tricks, such as a nose slide backside 270 out.

Baker's 86.33 earned her the silver medal as Bufoni's fellow countrywoman, Jessica Florencio, 21, took home her first X Games medal with the bronze.

If you were there, this was one Women’s Skateboard Street comp to remember, and in case you missed it, enjoy this trip down memory lane!
