It was awesome to see rollerskate and inline well-represented at this event! In roller skate open, Sasha Berg took the win despite a tough break in her first run, where she unfortunately took a heavy fall on a 360 gap landing but had enough tricks through their run to earn them the first place. Larissa Hendry followed in 2nd. The inline open division saw Ariana Waters throwing down, taking 1st place with an insane front flip over the first jump box. Tahn Crawford and Sophia Machado rounded out the podium in 2nd and 3rd.
The scooter divisions were packed with talent. In the beginner category, Archie Edwards claimed the top spot with a well-rounded run, while Flynn Deyonker and Bailey Popkes followed in 2nd and 3rd. Chevy Smaller turned heads in the intermediate class with his fearless bin jump, but it was Luke Denison who took 1st place with smooth, controlled riding. Dean Morrison and Jayce Blakers rounded out the podium. Speaking of Jayce, his bomb drop off the vert ramp into the bank had everyone hyped! The scooter open division was stacked, with Rufus Macfarlane-Brewer putting down two killer runs to take the win. Jax Lindsay came in 2nd, while Marcus Dunlop secured 3rd. A highlight from the open riders was Dylan Mestrovich’s impressive double inward on the huge 14ft halfpipe, solidifying his place among the best.

The BMX beginner division was a tight battle, with Ziggy Ellis taking 1st with huge airs, followed by Levi Stokes and Logan Knibbs. Garnet Rock continued his strong competition streak with another solid performance. In BMX intermediate, Bianca Martin stole the show, claiming 1st place with a bold trick selection, including a tailwhip on the halfpipe, she unfortunately came crashing down on a tail whip over the first box but still took the win. Jayce Blakers finished 2nd, and Jake Whelan, finally returning from injury, secured 3rd. The BMX open class saw Jack Carwardine put down an incredible second run, utilizing the whole park and landing tricks effortlessly to claim 1st place. Connor Riley took 2nd, while Joshua O’Neil locked in 3rd. A special mention goes to Ryan “Aquaman” Aquilina, whose superman seat grab now officially renamed the “Aquaman seat grab” had the crowd on their feet.
Pictured above is Ryan Aqualina with a massive superman seat grab, when Ryan hits this we like to coin it the “Aquaman Seat Grab” as it has become a signature of Ryan Aqualina’s.
