Mizuho Hasegawa owned the Women’s Park Final on Saturday taking the first win of the weekend and her third in a row at the 2026 Rockstar Energy Open alongside the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon.
Ten women skated three 45-second runs, but it was Mizuho’s second run score (following an uncharacteristic first run bail on her second trick) that would stand the test to take the win over the other ladies.
"I absolutely love this event! It's hard to win once, it's harder to win twice, and now to do it three times just feels so good. I love Portland so much, I have so much success here. Every year this event pushes me to skate better and have so much fun. It’s such a good feeling to be able to take a victory lap in Run 3 so I can say thank you to the crowd for cheering me on."
Mizuho’s best run went backside 540, Japan air, a big backside ollie, backside tailgrab, Smith grind, frontside air up the extension, frontside feeble grind, backside tailslide up the extension, big stalefish, lien to tail, and a frontside stalefish revert over the hip.
The youngest competitor, Mazel Paris was sporting stars on her face and high energy as she started every run by turning to the crowd and waving them on for cheers and hype.
The 12-year-old Filipina skater from Fontana, California earned her invite by way of the Video Qualifier Series, and she was the VQS Viewer’s Choice winner, collecting $2,500—she was already a winner by the time she reached Portland. But that wasn’t enough; Mazel skated her way through to the Final and onto the podium to finish second overall.
Mazel’s third run was her best and started with a kickflip indy right into a varial lien air, then a Smith grind, frontside tailslide, judo air, stalefish air, a 50-50 to fakie, switch backside air over the hip, cab feeble grind, gap up the extension to rock and roll slide, feeble grind to fakie, and then a switch blunt to finish.
“It’s all so unexpected, every single part of it, and I'm just super happy, super excited,” Mazel said. “It's my first time here in Portland, and this competition is so sick.”

After watching Mizuho’s fall in Run 1 then put down what ended up being the winning run in Run 2, Mazel raced over to embrace Hasegawa.
“Mizuho is so amazing and I really look up to her because she's such a good skater and I love her attitude,” Mazel said. “She's never sad or mad. She's always happy and I love that about her. I ran over to give her a hug right after her run because she did so good.”

So, how does it feel to be on the podium in her first Rockstar Energy Open appearance?
“My favorite thing about the Rockstar Energy Open is the hype,” Mazel said. “The crowd was hyped! The announcer was hyped! Everybody that was skating was hyped! It's so sick.”

Mazel earned some new fans while she was at it, including Rockstar snowboarders Iris Pham, Jill Perkins and Chris Grenier, who were going wild in the crowd during her runs. Jill later stepped out onto the deck and stepped up to present the trophies after the contest, too.

Asahi Kaihara rounded out the podium by way of her first run through the butterfly shaped bowl. Asahi has become well-known for her trick selection and style as she combines 80s classics like the Madonna and Saran Wrap with new-age updates.

Other skaters who impressed included Lilly Erickson, whose Run 3 vaulted her up into 4th place and Dickies skater Joey Yarbrough, the second youngest in the field at age 13. Bryce Wettstein had some of the most technical lip tricks of the contest but fell attempting the noseblunt on the big vert wall that might have put her on the podium. And Heili Sirviö brought some of the biggest thrills and certainly the biggest spill of the contest, getting absolutely bodied in a Run 3 crash before climbing out of the bowl clutching her right collarbone.

The fans were going crazy from start to finish, with packed bleachers, a rowdy VIP crowd in the tower, and the decks stacked with RSEO Street skaters and most of the Men’s Park field. We spotted Rockstar BMX riders Dennis Enarson, Chase Hawk, and Chad Kerley in the house, and a huge crew of young campers from the Seek Skateboard Camp at Mt. Hood were losing their minds during every run.
