19 and already killing it on the slopes, I mean what's next? A world domination or something 
! Brookes is like the chosen one, destined to take over the snowboarding world. And don't even get me started on her humble attitude, sounds like a total introvert who's secretly enjoying all this fame and fortune 
. I mean, I love watching her snowboard, she's got some crazy skills and style, but let's be real, folks, we've seen it before...at the X Games, where the cream rises to the top 
!
. And that score of 96.33? Mind blown!!! I'm hyped for her to take on the Olympics next, especially with those big air events lined up 
. The way she stayed humble despite being so close to the top is super inspiring, reminds me of the old school skiers from the 90s 
. And can't forget that young world champ title under her belt, talk about making history! I'm definitely keeping an eye on Mia Brookes from now on 
"
! I mean, 19 years old and already two major podium finishes? That's insane! And she's still being so humble about it? Love her attitude 
. I've been following her since she won that World Cup at 16, and now she's proving everyone right - she's a superstar in the making!
. She's already got four World Cup wins under her belt, and this latest gold is just another notch on her belt 
. Four years ago, she was our young gunslinger 
, and now she's a full-blown legend 
. I've been following her journey since 2023 and it's crazy to think she was just 16 and already became the youngest world champion in snowboarding. She's got the skills and the talent, but it's her attitude that's really taking her to the top 
. Can't wait to see what she does at the Olympics, I'm thinking gold for her again 
finally someone young and not a total cookie-cutter athlete comes out on top. I mean, 19 years old and already gold... she's gotta be doing something right. And yeah, it's great that she's humble and all, but let's be real, most winners aren't exactly overflowing with humility 
. Still, can't deny the girl's got skills! Maybe this is what they mean by "rising star"...?
