Bio:
Lyn-z is considered one of the top female skateboarders in the world today. She started skating at a young age but was constantly surrounded by some of the top women in the field. Lyn-z has been impressive to watch since she stepped on the board and today she regularly finds herself atop the podium at almost all of the contests she enters.
Lyn-z doesn’t limit herself to one discipline, she skates vert, bowl and street and rips at all of them. She has had extensive exposure in television and print media in both national and international markets. After a small set back with a knee injury in 2006, Lyn-z kept active in the contest scene by attending all the World Cup Skate events and commentating for them, a skill she continues to capitalize on when the opportunities present themselves today.
Always trying to raise the bar in women’s vert, Lyn-z set a goal for herself in 2009; Adams wanted to be the first female to land a McTwist in competition. After unsuccessfully securing the trick at X Games, Adams successfully landed the McTwist at the Tony Hawk Show in Paris, France in November 2009. A successful year for Lyn-z she also secured both the X Games gold medal and the first ever ISF World Championship title in women’s vert.
Her passion doesn’t just stop at skateboarding. She takes advantage of the winter season by moving up to Mammoth Mountain to perfect her snowboarding skills as well. Lyn-z has placed top 10 in many of the snowboarding events she has entered, and that’s just for fun!
She has appeared in Sports Illustrated for Women, Wahine, Discovery Girl, Skateboarder,
Snowboarder and Longboarder magazine just to name a few. She also has her own character in the Tony Hawk video games. With the 100% support she gets from her family and friends, plus the extra inspiration she gets from her older brother, Tyler, who’s also a competitive skater, there’s nothing stopping this young woman from dominating female skateboarding.
Lorena on fire
