At 3pm on Saturday with all of the qualifying over it will be time for the skateboarders and the bmxers to start up the halfpipe battle jam. Each of these disciplines has a $4250 purse to share in. With four rounds to get through is going to be a tough to make it through to the end of the jam. The battle jam is where competitors take turns on the halfpipe and throw down what they have got. The judges decide who is remaining on the top of their game and who is staying the raddest. At the end of each round competitors are dropped with only the raddest remaining to battle on again until a winner is decided. It is real mind blowing action as the competitors, the announcers and the spectators all play a role in the battle jam.
On Sunday 16th March is finals day. With scooter, bmx and skateboard all rolling it out for the big bucks this day will be the ultimate day to see some of Australia’s top professionals lay it all on the line. A day you don’t want to miss.
