It was during a training session in California that she flew off the ramp and fell headlong - from several meters - and landed on her head.
Brown was flown to hospital and was unconscious when she arrived.
It was found that she had suffered several skull fractures and that she had broken both her left wrist and hand.
- It has been a tough time after the accident.
My parents did not want me to continue skating and my brother, who saw the whole accident behind the ramp, has had a hard time.
Now I'm back on the skateboard and that's good.
The twelve-year-old dreams big.
She may be relevant for another Olympic sport.
-I love surfing as much as skating.
I hope to be able to participate in both sports at the next Olympics, in Paris 2024, Brown reveals.
