Eight skaters earned their spot into the Women’s Street Final on Sunday at the 2026 Rockstar Energy Open (RSEO) in Portland, but Chloe Covell proved untouchable for her first-ever win at the event, taking home $20,000 and the RSEO title. Even crazier, she got it done on her first run.

“I luckily got away with it on my first run, couldn't pull my second and third, but I had a lot of fun,” Chloe said. “I'm just super excited to be here. It's a super fun competition!”

Chloe’s first run went nollie backside kickflip over the hip to start her off unlike the rest, then a crooked grind on the bump to box, kickflip over the bump to bump, frontside blunt slide on the bar, frontside noseblunt slide on the A-frame rail, backside Smith down the 10-stair hubba, frontside feeble across and down the pyramid bar, and then a frontside nosegrind down the 5-flat-5 double set handrail to finish.

Chloe said she was stoked to be sharing the podium with two VQS skaters: 2nd place skater Yuri Ashizawa and 3rd place skater Niko Sugimoto each earned their way into the Rockstar Energy Open by submitting videos to ThePlatfrm.com’s Video Qualifier Series and earning fan votes.

“I'm skating with girls that I never usually skate with, so it's really cool to have some different people hang out,” Chloe said. “I definitely want to come back next year. I had so much fun. Everybody's killing it, and it's just a crazy competition.”

Though there were eight skaters in the field, Nanami Onishi used her Run 1 pass to take a cruiser lap around the course and bow to the fans: the 2nd place qualifier injured her left leg in the best trick contest on Saturday.

That left seven skaters to take three 60-second runs (15 seconds longer than in the Semi Final).

Mei Ozeki and Miyu Ito each had incredible third run performances that were their best of the day but they couldn’t crack the podium, finishing 4th and 5th, respectively.

All the other RSEO skaters were in the VIP tower going wild, and Greyson Fletcher—the Nixon Best Time winner in yesterday’s Dickies Park Best Trick Cash Jam—especially seemed to be having his mind blown by the action. Fans waving bright neon signs they made at the Exposure Skate booth in the RSEO Culture Village added even more flavor in the crowd. One of our faves: The girl waving the “Pop Off, Paige!” sign.

The only woman in the field daring to try the 10-stair double set handrail switch, Rockstar’s Paige Heyn was unable to get the full 60-second run pulled together. All the same, her switch frontside boardslides and switch frontside 50-50s were on display when it was her time to skate, but the biggest handrail did give her switch game trouble. After bobbles in all three runs, Paige immediately jumped on deck to join the crowd as a fan, holding a “LFG Chlo” sign made by another fan to cheer for the leader in her victory lap.

Rockstar street snowboarding phenom Iris Pham was on hand to present the trophies. “This is my second year coming out to Portland to watch all the women street skaters,” she said. “I just love this event and take so much inspiration from what all these girls are doing. The level of progression in women’s skateboarding is off the charts and so wild to watch!”
