Claire Parks - United States - Scootering World Championships Sakai 2025

Big high-consequence amplitude tricks over those two huge beaches. Of course, going to be a focus of those judges. Absolutely, you've got to risk it to get the biscuit. Let's see what Claire Parks has for us here in her first run. Here we go, Claire. Dropping in. Back-to-back world champion, going for the three-peat, choosing not to trick the work of the mountain, but oh my days! Another front-scoop late whip. Transfer with a bar sweep. Beautiful. Unbelievable. Like you said, skipping the trick on Mount Fuji, but setting herself up perfectly for that nothing front-scoop. Onto the spine, bribe flip, coming back the other way. Into the mini section, she hits the bribe flip, stalling up, getting ready to head back towards that gigantic spine. Bar spin straight over, right into double heel kick, super clean. 15 seconds left for Claire Parks. Transferring with the inward. I think she's going to put it together here, Todd. Inward transfer, quarter to vertical. Showing us how she put together those two world championship winning runs over the last two years from California. Sneaking in the fake whip, she's got two seconds. If she can get one last trick in the 360, probably going to count. That's a flawless run. Yes, Claire. She's clearly stoked to get that first run down. Clear those first run nerves. Yep. And go about defending her two-time world champion. Well choreographed and well executed. We've got the best gig in the house. Jake's having a lot of fun, but the judges made it. Their job today is not going to be easy. I'll tell you that. No, I am much preferred to be sat to the right of those folks. Oh, the nothing front scoot. Catching it with her left hand on the bar. Some riders prefer that way to do it. It's unbelievable to see every time somebody does that trick. Yeah, the precision of getting the hand placement there maybe helps her throw the whip round a little bit as well. But yeah, it looks beautiful. Looks super clean. Yeah, we've got so many video game tricks that have just become commonplace in competition run now. It's unbelievable. Stuff that absolutely would have been winning best trick contests a couple of years ago is now half of the course in the middle of a run. Claire's stoked. Yeah, why wouldn't she be? That was an amazing run. 77. 77 goes number one. Right in the first with a little bit of wiggle room as well. Yeah. Take a look at the leaderboard.
