In the intermediate class Ronan McCamish displayed his signature riding style, soaring to incredible heights and maintaining an impeccable flow throughout his runs.

Freestyle Now recently hosted the first full skatepark competition at the new City of Bayswater state-of-the-art skatepark. Skateboarders, BMX riders, scooter enthusiasts, and rollerskaters from all over the state gathered to showcase their skills and compete in the event, which was a major skatepark competition. The competition featured three categories, beginners, intermediate, and open, providing a platform for riders of all ages and skill levels to demonstrate their talents. The new skatepark’s challenging features, including the halfpipe, rails, and bowl, provided an exciting environment for the participants to showcase their unique styles and approaches. It was great to see the return of Adam Pacynko in the skateboard competition, after his time living in England. He amazed everyone with his incredible Halfpipe skills and unique style, demonstrating that he is still one of the top skateboarders in Western Australia. In their first skateboard competition, mother and son Laura and Ollie shared the skatepark for their beginner runs to help both ease the nervousness they were experiencing. Both skated really well and we were stoked to have them in the competition and making memories of their first competition. The competition was a great success and attracted a diverse group of riders, including a strong showing from the rollerskate community. The scooter enthusiasts, BMX riders, and skateboarders also put on a great display of skill and technique, showcasing the incredible talent and dedication of the competitors. Spectators cheered on the riders throughout the event, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere that added to the excitement of the competition.
