Freestyle Now hit the road for a massive 12-hour round trip to bring the stoke to Bremer Bay, and what a trip it was! The energy from the town was absolutely next-level, with the local community embracing the action sports vibes and creating a fantastic atmosphere for both the coaching session and the competition. Before the main event, we ran a coaching clinic to help riders sharpen their skills, dial in their tricks, and build their confidence — and it definitely paid off when it came time to throw down in the competition! We want to shine a spotlight on young Meave Belton who pushed herself to master a drop in on her biggest quarter pipe to date, she mastered this with help with Shaun Jarvis, Freestyle Now founder and then brought her new skill into the competition which is exactly what the judges wanted to see.
Despite sketchy weather threatening to put a damper on the day, we pushed through and managed to stay dry, keeping the session alive and the competition rolling. The turnout was awesome, with riders across BMX, scooter, and skateboard divisions showing up ready to shred. We even had some people who were holidaying in Bremer Bay come down to take part in the annual event. We have travelled down to Bremer Bay many times since facilitating the grand opening of the skatepark and it is one of our favourite towns to re-visit and experience the progression of all the riders from the years before.
In the scooter beginner division, Kelsea Roukens led the charge with a solid and confident performance, claiming 1st place. Macy Richard Hall followed closely in 2nd and was very happy with her achievement, with Jack Oppo rounding out the podium in 3rd showing us exactly how to ride bremer bay skatepark. The scooter intermediate division saw a great battle between Paddy Belton and Victor Formica, with Paddy taking 1st place and Victor securing 2nd, it was great to see victor pulling off some of the tricks he had been practicing the day before. The scooter open division was particularly intense, featuring an epic face-off between the top two riders. Scott Rystenberg and Ayden Maley tied for first place, meaning we had no choice but to run a tie breaker. It was a back-and-forth battle that kept the crowd on edge as they pushed each other to the limit in an unforgettable showdown. In the end, Scott’s precision and flair sealed the win, taking 1st place, with Ayden finishing in 2nd.

The skateboard beginner division was packed with young talent. Taz Johnston showcased great skill and creativity to earn 1st place, with Sienna Johnson finishing 2nd and Hunter Ramsay landing in 3rd. The skateboard intermediate division saw impressive technical runs from riders, with Louie Bailey taking the top spot in 1st, Victor Formica riding smoothly into 2nd, competing in his second discipline of the day, and Jordy Thomas came away with 3r, seeing Jordy progress over the last few years has been a treat and we can’t wait to see what he gets up to over the next year.
BMX brought the heat, with the beginners riding hard to impress. Matthys Burger claimed 1st place with a determined run, followed by Hunter Pedro in 2nd and Jacob Ramsey in 3rd. In the intermediate class, it was a standout performance with some big tricks from Joel Welner that earned him 1st place, with Austin Bailey coming in 2nd.
We’re grateful to the town of Bremer Bay for the warm welcome and epic vibes that made this event one to remember. Huge shoutout to all the riders who competed and gave it their all — it’s always inspiring to see the progression, creativity, and passion in action sports communities. Until next time, Bremer Bay, keep shredding!
