3500kms of radabonzical action – Merredin competition

twitterlinkedinmail

Friday the 16th April was a good sleep-in for the squad with only a short distance to travel from Carrabin to Merredin for the hosting of the Merredin skatepark competition. The turnout was a bit small but, quality over quantity prevailed on this day. A mass showing from the town of Merredin over the course of the afternoon showed that the locals were digin the vibe from the skatepark.

Some of the Kalgoorlie riders made the 300kms trek to Merredin just for the comp which was awesome to see that amount of enthusiasm, even if it did mean having to stay the night due to Dean Bidgood”s car needing a front wheel replacement. Corey Smithies had been eyeing up a gap over the back rail to a 2meter drop and in true Corey style he had to 180 it. After his 4th attempt he still could not pull the landing but a tremendous feat to attempt such an awesome maneuver.

A thank you goes out to Kristy from the Merredin shire, Stowaway Distribution, Beyond Skate and youth week 2010.
