Ascencio-Gomez started freestyling when she was 15 and has since become the No. 4 ranked female in the sport in the country. 

"Throughout the first couple years of my journey, I wasn't competing, I was just training," Ascencio-Gomez told us. "It was more of a hobby for me. In 2019, I did my first USA championship and that was the first year female freestylers had their own competition separate from the males."

In that tournament, Ascencio-Gomez finished in fourth place out of five competitors, which she said was a great experience. From there, she's only seen here talents grow, along with her popularity. 

It's not hard to imagine that with some of the head-turning clips she posts. That includes a video of her freestyling while in a dress and heels. Seriously, take a look at this and try not to be amazed: 

That's just awesome. For more from Ascencio-Gomez on her incredible freestyling career, be sure to watch the full Pitch Side TV video!
