Our 3rd judge announcement is the one and only, hot dog queen, & FDR ripper @stevie_without_the_e 🪩🌭 here is her take on our quick fire questions for our judging panel-
1. Name: STEVI LUKACZ
2. Where are you coming from?: Phila FUCKING delphia
3. What your favorite trick to do?: Aerial judo kick
4. What are your favorite tricks to watch (street, transition, a specific trick)?:
I’m a big transition skater and love seeing people throw coping hand plant tricks but also nothing is
more satisfying to watch than a crispy locked in pocket grind.
5. What are you looking for as a judge?:
I love to see variety in lines. I want to see skaters using every nook and cranny of the bowl and
dropping in from different areas. Depth and creativity are important for me.
Next weekend tune into the official livestream of @buffaloquadcrew RUST CUP 2026 on the Modes Media YouTube Channel and catch ALL the 🥣 gnar 🤤 epic grinds, slams, and full sends over the coffin door in real time.
