Bowl Jam Champion Mimi Knoop
& 2nd Place finisher Karen Jonz
The Second Annual S3 Supergirl Jam, the only large-scale, all-female, action sports competition and music festival, kicked off in Huntington Beach, Calif. Supergirl 'actionista' Mimi Knoop (Chesapeake, VA) skateboarded to a first place finish in the Soul Bowl competition. Knoop, who placed second in last year's S3 Supergirl Jam vert contest, out-performed her opponents this year with a display of powerful skills, fast skating, and talent that conveyed the confidence evident in all Supergirl 'actionistas' and earned her a check for $3,500.
The S3 Supergirl Jam is a three-day, all-female, action sports extravaganza that in 2008 will showcase the talent and skills of more than 100 of the world’s top professionals in six core disciplines. While crowning excellence in Skateboard Street, Vert and Bowl, Inline and Snowboard Rail Jam, and Junior Pro Surfing, it’s the ultimate expression of female empowerment, promoting strength and independence. In its second year, the S3 Supergirl Jam is the largest all-female action sports event in the world and celebrates the ‘actionistas’ in the industry. It brings young women together in support of “girl power” and unites them under a single theme - Be a Supergirl!
