Dallas Friday

Sport: Wakeboarding.
Age: 20

Why She Rocks: Rookie of the year when she was 13; since 2003 she's won 40 out of 44 competitions; she scored an ESPY and Action Sports Award; even though she's suffered a major injury and coma last fall, she's already back up on the board.

In Her Words: "There are a lot of up-and-coming girls…[but] I guess I compete against myself. I can ride badly and I cannot win a competition. I can't win everything, obviously. Everyone has their bad days, but if I'm always riding my best, I'm always on the top podium."
