Lizzie Armanto - 25 - Santa Monica, CA - Skateboard Park
I am excited to go back to Minneapolis for X Games. From the drawings, the park looks really fun to skate. Also the city was really fun to check out and I feel like I only scratched the surface from the last time I was there.
This will be my fourth X Games. My First X Games was in Barcelona, Spain in 2013.
Being invited to X Games is special because it has been around for so long. It is such a big event, so many people know about it, even my grandma. To top it off there is only a limited number of spot to compete.
Other than myself competing, I am excited to see my boyfriend, Axel compete in the Street Contest.
In general I just try to skate a bunch and feel good on my board.
In my free time at X Games, I will usually check out the other parts of the event or run around the city to find yummy food.
As of right now, just Axel. Last year my mom and brother flew out and surprised me. It was really sweet of them.
Right now, I am running an 8.25' Birdhouse deck with my new graphic with the butterfly face. 149 Indys and 58 Bones Wheels. Swiss bearings. Skeleton thumb Brostyle Grip.
I always try to get steel cut oats before a contest.

No way I ever thought I would be competing at the X Games. My brothers first skateboard, that I learned on was an X Games board though.
I have been working on some collections with Vans. It is so different that anything else I have ever done. There is a lot of logistics. Designing is exciting though, you get to see an idea come to life.
For right now just skating, completing, and trying to stay healthy.
My sponsors; Vans, Baby-G, Indy, Bones, Brostyle and a special thanks to Monster. Also my mom and Larry.
