Freestyle Now

Round 5 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series went down at the South Hedland skatepark. The South Hedland skatepark is one of the biggest in Australia. It is massive with lines galore and sections that are so rad. Sometimes it can be like a video game and after riding it for some time you unlock new lines. Like they just magically appear in front of you. There was a good turnout of competitors for the skatepark competition. Freestyle Now were in Port Hedland for a few days before the skatepark competition to host a few skatepark coaching workshops, it’s always great to help with generation more skills to the skatepark users. Congratulation to Jacob Wise for competing in all three disciplines, scooter bmx and skate. We would also like to thank our supporters, Local BMX, Colony bmx, Sacrifice scooters, Ethereal Clothing and 4 skateboard Co as well as Town of Port Hedland.
The next skatepark competition will be Round 11 Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series held at the Margaret River skatepark on the 28^th May, hope to see you there.

The 2015 Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series (F.N.W.A.S.S.) has come to an end. There was 18 rounds in total covering most of Western Australia from Karratha in the north to Kalgoorlie in the east and several south west locations as well as the Perth metropolitan area. The point series is open to all participants that compete in the advanced class in bmx, skateboard and scooter disciplines at all of the designated skatepark competitions that Freestyle Now hosts. There were lots of competitors who entered the competitions during 2015 with each competitor receiving points for their placing. Points are awarded in the following way for each placing,
1st = 30 , 2nd = 25 , 3rd = 20 , 4th = 10 , 5th = 5 , 6th = 3 , 7th onwards = 1

A congratulations goes out to the competitors who competed and followed the series enough to keep their points up. This series dose not really dictate who it the best rider in the state but gives the competitors a series to follow to work on a yearend title. This is the fifth year the series has been running and it is now gaining momentum. The 2016 series is set to kick off with round 1 at the Golden Bay skatepark on the 16th of January and round 2 at the Butler skatepark on the 29th January.
