Round 16 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series (F.N.W.A.S.S.) took place at the Port Kennedy skatepark on Friday 1^st November. There was a good turnout of spectators for the competition and with it being a night time competition there was a certain energy in the air that many of the competitors were taping into for sure. A big thank you to the City of Rockingham for the great afternoon and night and to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co for helping with the rad prizes.  
This competition was number two in five competitions within the City of Rockingham. With each of these competitions the top 3 place getters in the advanced class get invited to a one off invite only competition in June 2014. There is $9000 up for grabs at this competition ($3000 per discipline) with only 15 riders being invited in each discipline. To be eligible for an invite, competitors need to have competed in one of these five competitions.  So get yourself ready for the 7^th of December as the next Rockingham competition happens at the Singleton skatepark on the 7^th December. This competition is also round 17 and the final round of the F.N.W.A.S.S. See you all there.

Round 14 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series went down at the Willetton Skatepark on the 11^th of October. It was a crazy day that’s for sure, with 55 competitors and rain clouds abundant. First up was the scooter beginner class. As soon as all 29 competitors had finished the rain clouds we stoked and in appreciation they let out all of their rain. Then there was the false hope of everything drying up, on several occasions. After about 2 hours the rain had just eased off to a spit and then stopped all together. The park dried up and it was game on. The scooter advanced class was a treat to watch with Billy Watts having the massive home ground advantage and going higher and faster than anyone in the history of ever. Current F.N.W.A.S.S. point’s leader Jiordan Giacoppo took out the second place with his large tech skills and Josh Sharpe was smashing out the feeble grind combos on the ledge like it was nothing for the 3^rd place.
It was good to see a good lot of young skaters there all keen to shred the gnar and patient to wait long enough for the park to dry up. Josh Coates and JJ Turno were both smashing to out in the advanced class.
BMX had a good turnout. Young 14 year old Matt Adkins will be a force to reckon with as he gets older and stronger. Great tech skills and able to stomp out some good tricks, helped him with the 1^st place. Freestyle Now living legend Jason Parker enter his first skatepark competition in over 12 years. With his flavor of riding and all round goodness he took out the 2^nd place. Third place went to Brad McAuliffe who rode like a champion.
All in all the competition was great. A big thanks to the City of Canning for their continual support for skatepark competitions and to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co for all the rad prizes.

Clockwise from top left – Young Calymn Brandt is always a pleasure to watch ride, such a little shredder,  Jiordan Giacoppo gets his kickless rewind on, Matt Atkins took the 1^st in advanced as well as taking his hands off during this fakie,  Josh Coates can skate, destroy and is good.

Round 13 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place at the Cooloongup skatepark on the 18^th of July. The skatepark is only small but the turnout was fantastic. At this competition there was a special girls only, class which Freestyle Now will be implementing at all of the future competitions to help to get more girls involved in skatepark activity. The competition was so much fun. This was the first competition in the City of Rockingham series of 5 competitions that will culminate a final in June 2014. Each of the top 3 place getters in the advanced class receives an invite to this competition. If you want to get an invite place make sure you rock up at the next City of Rockingham competition taking place on the 1st November at Port Kennedy skatepark in Port Kennedy, Western Australia.

There is a new park in Western Australia and it is without a doubt the raddest, situated some 600kms east from Perth in Kalgoorlie. The skatepark now consist of the old park which is about 10 years old along with now the new street plaza and the most amazing bowl that many have ridden. The skatepark is now huge with endless lines and abilities.
The City of Kalgoorlie Boulder has most defiantly done everything right with the planning and construction. Finally a skatepark in Western Australia to match most of the skateparks on the east coast of Australia.  
Round 12 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place at the Kalgoorlie skatepark as part of the opening celebrations. It was great to have the Mayor of the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder, Ron Yuryevich, make the official open speech.
The competition was great with Kalgoorlie breeding many gnarly shredders. Big thanks to the Kalgoorlie Boulder youth council for working the day. Condemned bikes for giving away a Poorman frame to Tyrone Drummond for winning the bmx beginners class,  and to our supporters for helping with the prize product, Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co.
