The highly anticipated Mandurah Action Sports Games took the Mandurah skatepark by storm, showcasing the incredible talents of skateboarders, scooter riders, and BMX enthusiasts. Supported by Mandurah Mazda and Drug Aware, this exhilarating skatepark competition drew a diverse range of riders and solidified its place as a premier event in the action sports calendar. The competition demonstrated the commitment of both participants and sponsors in fostering a vibrant skatepark culture.

The Action Sports Games competition adopted an exciting format, with competitors showcasing their skills in both the small bowl on day one and the big bowl on day two. The best run from day one was combined with the best run from day two to determine the winners and place-getters, adding an extra layer of intensity and anticipation to the event.

Rollerskate made its debut at the Action Sports Games on Friday Night, highlighting the inclusive nature of the event. Sash Berg showcased remarkable skills and secured a well-deserved victory, signaling a promising future for rollerskating in the Action Sports Games. We look forward to increasing the participation number for the 2024 event.

BMX witnessed jaw-dropping stunts and intense battles for supremacy. Sam Grace stole the show with his audacious foot jam to fakie to fakie front flip in the deep bowl, pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible. Unfortunately, Dylan Schmidt’s exceptional riding was cut short by a heavy slam on the first day, forcing him to sit out on the second day. Nevertheless, his presence was sorely missed as his fearless style and technical prowess always electrify the competition. In the intermediate class Ronan McCamish displayed his signature riding style, soaring to incredible heights and maintaining an impeccable flow throughout his runs. His consistency and skill captivated both judges and spectators alike and propelled him into the first place. 

The BMX competition reached its climax with a thrilling finish that left everyone on the edge of their seats. Nathan Freeman and Sam Grace battled it out with relentless determination, leaving no room for error. When the dust settled, Freeman emerged victorious by the slimmest of margins, securing the top spot with just 0.66 points separating him from Grace. This exhilarating competition marked the beginning of the Western Australian BMX freestyle state championships, adding even more significance to the competition. Riders from across the state competed fiercely, aiming to secure their position as the top contenders in the championship series.

Skateboarding saw a thrilling mix of talented men and women across all levels. Adam Pacynko, making his much-anticipated return from living in England, showcased his exceptional skills, reminding everyone of his prowess in the bowls. However, it was Cruz Evens who rose to the occasion, dominating the competition and claiming the coveted first-place prize. In the men’s under-13 category, Zen Evens demonstrated exceptional skill and secured a well-deserved win, showcasing tremendous potential for the future. The open women’s category witnessed a fierce battle between Mia Kretzer and Hailee Roberts, both of whom displayed rapid progression and showcased their immense talent.Either of them could have taken the win but it was Mia who came out in 1st place.

Emily Palmer brought their stoke to the Mandurah Action Sports Games had some rad front side grinds.

In the scooter category, Mitch Bacon took center stage in the open class, mesmerizing spectators with his powerful, fast, and high-flying combinations. Kash Toft gave a strong performance but had to settle for second place. The intermediate class showcased exceptional skills over the two days, with several competitors potentially making a move to the open class in 2024, further raising the bar for future competitions.

The Mandurah Action Sports Games would not have been possible without the generous support of Mandurah Mazda and Drug Aware. Their commitment to promoting and nurturing the local action sports scene has contributed significantly to the success of the event.

Freestyle Now recently hosted a BMX, scooter and skateboard incursion for students at the York Primary and High school. The school arranged the sessions with the goal of motivating and inspiring students while promoting the advantages of physical activity for both mental and physical health.

Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis, Oben McHoull, and Amos Hadad attended the day to provide coaching and guidance to students of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced riders. Freestyle Now supplied a few small ramps and a ledge, along with skateboards, scooters and bikes.  The squad members showed off an array of BMX stunts, skateboard tricks, and scooter moves, motivating the students to attempt them themselves. The engagement sessions were a huge success, with students expressing their enthusiasm and excitement for the sports. Some students even showed potential for becoming skilled riders in the future. Freestyle Now squad member Shaun Jarvis had this to say to the students “We do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard. We fail over and over again, until we succeed. When you learn something new, it is yours, you own it!” Emily Hughes from the Department of Education said “Thank you for coming out, the kids absolutely loved it! We hope to be able to get you back out in the future.” The event was an excellent opportunity for students to explore their interests and gain new abilities. Similar activities can have a positive impact on student engagement and motivation.

Freestyle Now is well-known for promoting action sports and inspiring young riders to follow their dreams. Our participation in the York School engagement sessions showcased our dedication to the cause.

Groundswell Grind  is a celebration of the skateboarding community

The 2022 Groundswell festival in Scarborough was a great event to attend due to its focus on community spirit. The festival brought people together from diverse backgrounds, celebrating diversity, offering excitement through its unique format, and providing a fun and enjoyable experience. The festival showcased the best of different art forms, competitions and activities in a dynamic setting, providing a chance to celebrate various interests and communities in a lively and entertaining environment. One of the competitions that was celebrated was the Groundswell Grind skateboard competition.

The Groundswell Grind skateboarding bowl competition was a showcase of some of the best skateboarding talent from around the great state of Western Australia. Skaters from all ages and skill levels came together to compete at the Scarborough beach bowl, one of the biggest bowls in Australia, pushing the limits of what is possible on a skateboard. The high level of skill and creativity displayed by the skaters left the audience in awe, and the competition was a true celebration of the sport. One of the highlights of the competition was the representation of female skaters with many talented and skilled female skaters showcasing their abilities in the bowl. This not only adds diversity to the competition but also helps to inspire and empower the next generation of female skaters. Another highlight was the impressive turnout of young skaters. The future of skateboarding was well represented with many talented young skaters showcasing their skills and potential. This not only adds excitement to the competition but also helps to inspire and motivate the next generation of skaters.

In the open men’s class Robert-James Barbaro seemed unstoppable but young Cruz Evans was keeping the pressure on for a second place. In the open woman’s class it was a close competition between Mia Kretzer and Hailee Roberts. But, the insane level of competition was not just limited to the open class, many up-and-coming skaters also took the stage and proved that they have what it takes to be the next big thing in skateboarding.

According to the competition manager, Shaun Jarvis from Freestyle Now, “The Groundswell Grind Skateboarding Bowl Competition was a huge success. We were thrilled to see such a strong turnout of talented skaters from all over Western Australia and we are especially proud of the strong representation of female and young skaters. Skateboarding continues to grow in popularity and we are thrilled to be a part of this amazing community.”
