Freestyle Now hosted a skatepark competition at the Port Kennedy skatepark. The afternoon and early evening skatepark competition was well attended by both participants and families. Skatepark users from around the Perth metro area recently converged on the Port Kennedy skatepark for a highly anticipated skatepark competition. The event saw riders of all ages and skill levels compete for prizes, with participants showcasing their skills and pushing themselves to the limit. The Port Kennedy skatepark, which recently underwent a major renovation 18 months ago, provided the perfect venue for the competition, with its wide range of features and challenging obstacles providing a platform for riders to showcase their unique styles and approaches. The event attracted a large crowd of spectators, who cheered on the riders and provided an energetic and enthusiastic atmosphere throughout the competition. One of the highlights of the competition was the strong showing from female participants who all rolled with impressive skills. Some competitors were entering their first competition and were feeling nervous but the team from Freestyle Now helped many of them feel at ease so they were able to compete feeling relaxed. The event was a testament to the growing diversity and inclusivity of skatepark participants. Overall, the Port Kennedy skatepark competition was a huge success, and a great showcase of the skills skatepark users are building. The event highlighted the importance of promoting the sports and providing safe and welcoming spaces for riders of all ages and skill levels to come together and share their passion for skateboarding, scooters, rollerskates and BMX. A big thank you to the City of Rockingham who made the event possible.
