Sunday the 14^th of October saw another round of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series and the last competition to take place at the Kalgoorlie Skatepark before it goes under a major renovation. Once the park is finished it will be close to the largest in Western Australia. Kalgoorlie has got a great bmx scene with some really good talented riders. The competition saw some amazing riding but the stand out would have to be young Josh Castle who is forever being empowered by skating and progressing well. A big thankyou to the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder as well as competition supporters Stowaway distribution, Mutts scooters and 4 skateboard Co for the rad prizes.

As part of the Palmerston festival taking place over this weekend Freestyle Now will be hosting a skatepark competition at the Palmerston skatepark on the 1st of September. No doubt rad stuff will down with thanks to the City of Palmerston and our competition supporters Stowaway distribution, Mutts scooters and 4 skateboard Co.

On Sunday the 26^th of August 36 competitors transcended on the Wonthella skatepark in Geraldton just over 400kms from Perth to lay down some fat tricks and have a good time. The level of radness is always increasing in the Geraldton scene which is good as well as the number of new participants willing to get involved in such a great activity. The number of spectators at the competition was also good to see, people coming out to support, that’s awesome. Big thanks must go out to the Geraldton PCYC for supporting the competition and to Stowaway distribution, Mutts scooters and 4 skateboard Co for the rad prizes, it was good to see everyone going home with a prize.

 Jaxon Diss got so rad he won the bmx stud class, this whip from the rail ride was proof of some of his radness.

 Top left – Levi Scamporlino hits a 360 bri out of the fly out quarter – Top right – Colin Marsden is progressing so well and getting more powerful with his riding, turn down over the hip – Bottom – the other riders in the stud class look on as Arnold Mondello throws down a super slick flair during his run.
