The 2024 Groundswell Grind Skateboard Competition once again lit up Scarborough Beach, bringing together skaters from across Western Australia for the biggest bowl event of the year. This year’s competition didn’t disappoint, with intense rivalries, impressive new talent, and unforgettable moments that highlighted why this is one of WA’s most anticipated skate events. Held in the iconic Scarborough Beach bowl as part of the Groundswell Festival, the competition offered divisions for many age groups in both men’s and women’s divisions , including 9 years and under, 12 years and under, 16 years and under, Open, and the always impressive Masters division for skaters over 35. The Open Men’s and Women’s divisions continued to be crowd favorites, showcasing incredible skill and style with a $3000 prize purse on the line. With clear skies and a supportive crowd, skaters threw down their best tricks making the bowl come alive with energy and excitement. Each skater had 3 runs in the Scarborough Beach Bowl of 45 seconds with only their best run counting as their score. This allows them to be a bit more liberal with the tricks and lines knowing that with three runs they should produce some magic and get the points for the wins.

Opening up the event was the 9 and under mens. It was all Levi Pagdanganan from the start. He was on fire with some fast skating great lines and his ollie airs were well above coping. Qualifying in first he stayed in that spot at the end of the finals. Elliott Hanly and Davie Howes also made it into the finals and tried hard to match Levi but just fell short in the points to challenge him. It was great to see them both making the finals. We also need to give a shout out to one of the most hyped skaters we know, Cab Constantine who missed out on the finals but we are sure he will be in there for 2025. The 9 Years and Under women was a full group of super charging skaters. In the qualifying it was Scarlett Harrington leading with 16.33 points and  Pepper Connolly on 16 points with Rhenna Mottershead sitting on 15.33 points, it was a tight comp. Seeing Scarlett drop in the deep end of the bowl was just one of the highlights of the event. The deep end must be 10 times taller than she is. In the finals Pepper rolled through the Scarborough bowl with enough radness to take the win with 18.33 points to Scarlett’s 16.67.

In the 12 years and under men’s Oscar Blackburn ripped around the bowl well enough to take the win from Oliver Brown by only .66 of a point with the 3rd place joint to Liam Davie, It was great to see Oliver hitting up the big bowl and we hope to see more of his skating as we more forward into the future. The 12 Years and Under women’s only had two competitors but that did not stop the level of skating on display from both, It was Elena Riley taking the win from Addison Sie. 

Up next was the 16 Years and Under Mens.The was another class that only had two competitors but not just any competitors we are talking about our next open place getters Otis Sienkewitz and Jake Turnbull. These two are a treat to watch, high airs, long grinds, are super rad lines. Either of these two could have taken the win but for Groundswell Grind 2024 it was Otis (34.33 points) who just had the edge over Jake (33.00 points), Watch for both of them making move into the open class. The 16 Years and Under Women’s belonged to Lali Perroni who has had a few years of competition experience taking the win by 4 points. 2nd place went to Hayley Norris who had only just started competing in skateboard competitions about 8 months ago. Taking the third it was great to see Ava Knibbs getting into it and showing no fear skating such a massive big bowl.

The masters, the over 35’s. This was one of the highlights of the Groundswell Grind. With eight competitors it was the biggest class of skaters. Seeing Laura Brown getting into it was amazing, such an inspiration to many and we hope she continues to inspire both young and old to take up skateboarding. But the masters was dominated by the legend Grant Huggins, he was untouchable. So much power and style, rock n roll in the deep end, hand plants, board slides, 50/50’s he had it all. You can tell he knows skateboarding, it was a treat to watch. Coming in second was Herb Faust who also is an accomplished skater but was 6 points behind Grant in the finals. Third place went to the legend Junior Linke, The oldest skater in the competition, its rumored he is 60 but doesn’t look a day over 21. We also need to mention the other oldies Jon Root, Geoff Knibbs, Jeremy Watkins and Joe Mack. Watching these skaters hit the bowl proved that skateboarding is a lifelong journey, and their presence was inspiring to both the young and the seasoned crowd.

The Open divisions saw intense competition with big names going head-to-head. In the men’s open class during qualifying it was all James Rixom (31.67 points), he was untouchable qualifying 4 points higher than 2nd qualifier Cruz Evans (27.67points). The top 4 were going into a final, and what a final it turned out to be. Qualifying in 3rd was Vai Evans (25.33 points) and the youngest of the Evans Brothers, Zen got the 4th (24.67 points). This was going to be a final unmatched in Groundswell Grind history. First out for the finals was Zen Evans and right from the start it was on. We thought he skated well in qualifying, the finals was just something else, his speed, varials, grinds and lines were exceptional, it’s like he was holding back in the qualifying, everything was clean. A very deserving win for the 2024 Groundswell Grind to Zen Evans with a finals score of 37.33 and $700 richer. Taking the 2nd place was James Rixom who skated phenomenally with some of the highest airs and longest board slides we have seen at Groundswell Grind but missed out on the top spot by a few points with a score of 35.00 points and taking home $500. Third place didn’t move with Vai Evans remaining there but upping his score with 28.67 points and winning $300 for his radicalness. Flowing into 4th place was Cruz Evans with 28.00 points, a close one. The men’s open class was missing last year’s Groundswell Grind winner Adam Pacynko who was super pumped for the competition and had been preparing for it for months, had his runs down and knew every part of the bowl. His first run dropped in the deep end, hit the first wall with an air, hit the second wall and then fell to flat bottom using his elbow as a stopping mechanism, which we all know doesn’t work. It was a trip to the hospital and some surgery to make it all better.  His resilience and sportsmanship were a reminder of the passion and grit that make skateboarding such a tight-knit community. There is always 2025 Adam and we hope to see you in the mix. Shout out also to Jake Smith and Khailani Nielsen for taking on the behemoth of Scarborough Beach bowl.

Mia Kretzer – Invert on the hip

The Women’s Open belonged to Mia Kretzer who’s been on a whirlwind skateboard trip this year with international competitions, Xgames gold medals, Guinness world records and everything in between but Groundswell Grind is still her favorite competition, it’s on home turf with her community and friends. Mia had some epic runs, frontside smith grinds, kickflip disasters, hand plants and fakie 540’s. It was full. 35.00 points and $700. Second place went to Hailee Roberts. Hailee had some great runs showing how she knows the bowl like the back of her hand, 31.00 points and $500. Third place was all on Gogo Dale from Margaret River with 28.67 points and $300. It’s been great seeing their progress over the past few years in skateboarding and they have a great skate career in front of them. Looking forward to see Gogo rip it up in 2025

Groundswell Grind is a day filled with camaraderie, excitement, and unforgettable moments, showcasing the unique spirit and culture of the skateboarding community. Its a day when the skateboard community comes together and celebrates all things skateboarding, young or old, beginners or high rollers, it makes no difference everyone is there for the joy skateboarding brings. It’s about forming a community, making new friends, seeing old friends and getting some introduced into skateboarding and just being involved.

The Rad Throwdown at Groundswell Rail Jam 2024

Scarborough Beach Skatepark was the epicenter of high-energy action sports once again for the 2024 Groundswell Festival Rail Jam. This year’s jam turned up the stoke, showcasing insane levels of progression as BMX, scooter, and skateboard riders from Perth and beyond threw down with unparalleled intensity. Backed by Animal Bikes, Core Scooters, Grit Scooters, and Modus Bearings, this year’s Rail Jam wasn’t just another event – it was a raw, street-style showdown filled with next-level tricks and high-impact moments.

Taking over Saturday afternoon, the Rail Jam brought together three separate sessions for BMX, scooter, and skateboard riders, each facing off on a technical rail and stair setup that tested their skills and creativity. With $200 cash set for first place and a stack of prizes from our supporters, riders pushed their limits and let their riding do the talking.

The BMX session was a fierce display of technical mastery, led by Sam Grace, who was on the attack from the start. You could tell he was locked into winning mode as he hit the rail with clean and technical peg combos. But it was his banger that shut it all down – a barspin to icepick – game over. With that flawless execution, Sam took home the $200 cash prize. Young gun Channing also got into the mix, showing promise and holding his own in a field of seasoned riders. Meanwhile, Louis Jonstone impressed with some heavy moves, including double pegs up the rail into tailwhips, earning massive respect from the crowd and fellow riders.

Clockwise from top left – Lewis tail whipping down off the rail. – Sam with a barspin down the 6 stair. – Josh, one of our best hype men in WA. – Archie with a solid 50/50 down the rail.  – Find the full album of photos on our facebook page here.

In the scooter session, it was all Leighton from the get-go. He was on fire and completely owned the rail, throwing down combos both up and down the setup that left no room for others to match his dominance. Young Lucas, who has been steadily growing his skills over the years, brought his A-game and was sending banger tricks, turning heads in the process. It was also great to see Jackson back at the Rail Jam again, adding his unique style and energy to the mix.

Clockwise from top left – Leighton up rail to whip off. – Really great to see Jackson back again , one of Perth’s best street scooter riders. – Josh making it look easy on the down. – Lukas following him up seamlessly.  – Find the full album of photos on our facebook page here.

The skateboard session was absolutely epic, with some heavy hitters getting into the mix. It turned into a fierce and friendly battle between Josh and Bill, two riders who both had what it took to claim the $200 cash prize. The competition was neck-and-neck, keeping the crowd on edge as each rider pushed the limits of their skill. Miles had everyone hyped when he landed a kickflip down the stairs, with the crowd erupting in loud celebration. Ultimately, it was Bill who came out victorious with a string of epic moves, including a clean blunt grind down the rail and switch nollie flips down the stairs, sealing the deal and taking home the top prize.

Clockwise from top left – Bil with a very impressive blunt slide. – Luke hitting the smith so clean. – Miles taking it back to basics with a board slide. – Josh with a kickflip down the 6. – Find the full album of photos on our facebook page here.

The Groundswell Rail Jam remains a great display of technical riding and progression, The sound of the rhythmic clatter of wheels, decks, and pegs on steel echoed through the skatepark as competitors showcased their talent and street-inspired creativity.  A massive thank you to The Groundswell festival and The City of Stirling for their support for making this event happen and huge thank you to Animal Bikes, Core/Grit Scooters, and Modus Bearings for their support, and to everyone who came out to watch or take part.

2024 Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle: Style, Skill, and a Whole Lot of Stoke

The 2024 Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle was one of the best events Scarborough Beach has seen take place in the iconic Bowl. With the backdrop of the Groundswell Festival and perfect weather conditions, the day was set to be a super rad one. Riders and fans gathered for an epic display of talent, flow, and progression. The Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle followed a unique battle format competition. Each competitor had two qualifying runs, where they were scored on difficulty, diversity, and consistency. These scores determined the rider’s placement in the battle round order. The battle finals were nothing short of epic. In this stage, riders had to either battle their way to the top or defend their position against challengers. The format started with the 6th place rider taking on the 5th place rider. Each competitor had alternating 30-second runs, and the judges would vote on who performed best. The winner advanced to challenge the next rider up the rankings. This intense head-to-head format continued until the top qualifier faced their challenger in the final showdown.

In the Rad class, it was Bianca Martin who qualified in the top spot after a closely contested qualifying round. It was fantastic to see two young riders, Ziggy Ellis and Logan Knibbs, participate in the event. Both riders were 5 and 6 respectively and needed some help getting out of the bowl, but their enthusiasm and potential were evident. We look forward to seeing them riding and ripping it up next year! Additionally, it was great to see Salvia Hogan return to the Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle, adding to the excitement. The competition in the Rad class was fierce, with any of the top three riders having the potential to take the win. In the battle round between Jayce Blakers and Billy Gibson, it was incredibly close, with the judges taking time to deliberate and vote on who would advance to challenge Bianca Martin. A narrow two-to-one vote in favor of Billy sent him into the final battle. The final showdown between Bianca Martin and Billy Gibson was electric. Bianca showcased incredible high airs and smooth flow, captivating the judges and the crowd. Billy gave it his all, trying to take the win, but Bianca held her ground and edged him out in a nail-biting finish. Congratulations to Bianca on the well-deserved win!

The Raddest class saw an incredible showdown. In the qualifying rounds, the 2023 winner Sam Grace had secured the top spot, while three-time BMX Bowl Battle winner Luke Tooze qualified in 4th place. With standout riders from the East Coast, Sam Grace, Jayden Fuller, and Chris James, this was shaping up to be one of the best battle competitions we have ever seen. The battle finals began with Ben Gately taking on Brad Evans. Both riders know the Scarborough Beach bowl well, with Ben showing off smooth and fast lines while Brad delivered rad airs and epic grinds. After an intense round, it was Ben who came out on top, advancing to face Luke Tooze. Ben brought his trademark manual lines to the next battle, but they were no match for Luke’s speed and massive airs. Luke’s enormous griz air in the deep end had the crowd roaring, securing his win and setting up a battle against East Coast rider Jayden Fuller. Jayden wowed with high airs and double tricks, including his signature double euro airs. Luke put up a strong fight, but a fall on a tire slide may have cost him. Jayden’s smooth and high-energy performance carried him through to the next round against fellow Colony BMX teammate Chris James.

Clockwise from top left – Brad Evans is a regular at the Scarborough bowl, he know all the lines and knows how to air the 12 foot deep end. – Jayden Fuller came to the Groundswell BMX bowl battle with all of his flow and style and showed it all, 3rd place. – Ben Gately another regular at the Scarborough bowl, has some awesome skills, with rad manuals and high airs. – Chris James with an awe-inspiring flare over the waterfall – Find the full album of photos on our facebook page here

Luke Tooze has the best Griz airs, a crowd favorite for sure, Luke is a 3 time Groundswell BMX bowl battle winner, this year an honorable 4th was his end result

Jayden tried his best with smooth lines and high airs, but Chris James was on another level. Chris powered through the bowl with massive indy seat grabs, lookbacks, tail whips, and one of the biggest barrel roll/backflip transfers ever seen. (Check the video highlights!) It was a unanimous 3-0 vote in favor of Chris, setting the stage for the final battle against the 2023 champion, Sam Grace. The final battle between Chris James and Sam Grace was a showdown for the ages. Chris set the stage with an epic run, delivering speed, power, and precision. Sam followed with his trademark style, massive airs, backflip drop-ins, and a foot jam to fakie in the deep end. Unfortunately, Sam struggled with consistency on some fakie tricks, missing key moments like front flip fakies and fakie bar spins. Had he nailed them, the result might have been different. In the end, Chris’s speed, tricks, and flawless execution gave him the edge. The judges took their time deliberating, it was that close, but ultimately crowned Chris James the winner of the 2024 Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle.

A massive thank you to The Groundswell festival and The City of Stirling for their support for making this event happen and to our competition supporters  Colony BMX, Local BMX and Sneaky Wholefoods . Freestyle Now is proud to continue fostering the BMX community and inspiring the next generation.

twitterlinkedinmail

The Busselton Skatepark was the place to be on April 27th, 2024, as riders from all over came together to showcase their talents and compete in various action sports disciplines.
