Infamous signs Lacey Baker!

I saw photos of Lacey in SG and thought she was good but when I saw her skate in person at Slam City she blew me away! This girls got sick style and mad pop on all her tricks. She's s super technical, consistant rider and although she did well at Slam City by placing 2nd I thought she should have won. You'll be seeing lots of her in the near feature and she's going to be taking out out all the rest of the girls and she's only 14! ![]() |
