Freestyle Now

Round 5 of the 2018 Freestyle Now Western Australian skatepark competition series took place at the Willetton skatepark as part of the City of Canning Youth Festival. It was a great evening event with so much activity taking place in and around the skatepark. The competitors were all keen to show off their skills in the skatepark competition. With participants in scooter, skateboard and BMX the competition was a great success. The riding at the competition was as always off the hook with competitors pushing themselves to get their tricks done in the runs. A big thank you to the City of Canning for their support and also to our supporters Kickass BMX, The 4 skateboard company, Modus Bearings, Grit scooter. Our next skatepark competition takes place on the 24^th November at the Kalgoorlie skatepark so be sure to check our coming events page for more info.

Clockwise from top left – Steven Heuer was in top form with a good mix of technical and large tricks with taking the first place in open BMX – Mitch Curtis had a blast at the skatepark competition and was seen smiling throughout his runs, it’s a common assurance with many competitors, taking a first place in open skateboard – Ben Tarrget with one of the most insane tricks we have seen, the lucky dip. Such a crazy trick to be done on such a small jump. Ben took out the first in the intermediate bmx class – Jae Yates took out the first in scooter open with some crazy combo tricks and great flow around the skatepark.

The Action Sports Games is back. After two years of a hiatus it has returned to a new home in Bunbury. It was on a smaller scale to what it was in previous years but this will  give it room to grow just like it did when it first came upon us 6 years ago. The skatepark competition took place on the Saturday with the wake boarding competition taking place on the Sunday. In amongst all of that were some freestyle moto shows. All up Bunbury has some of the best action sports taking place right in the heart of the city. The Action Sports Games skatepark competition was also round 2 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian skatepark series. This scooter, skateboard and bmx skatepark competition had $2400 prize money up for grabs and a stack of prizes from Vokul scooters and Minority clothing. The turnout was good with over 60 competitors and hundreds of spectators.

David Pinelli 1^st in BMX open class

The beginners all went off first in the morning with some great riding all round in all the disciplines.  The intermediates were up next with some great stand outs like Adam Puffler and Seb Conte who only had one point between them for 1^st and 2^nd in scooters. In skateboard it was all Levi Pound, an up and comer who has defiantly the potential to make it in the open class. In BMX it was Fabio Canetti and Jayden Cugini who took the 1^st and 2^nd with some great bmx stunt riding.

The afternoon was all about the hard hitting open class. $500 was to go to first place. From the moment he dropped in you could tell Kody Law was on a mission. He was consistent and had some hard tricks. Taking home the win with 214 points with Kieran Ramsy 204 points for the $200 2^nd spot and Jakob Well on 197 points for the $100 3^rd place. The skateboard class was a tough one to judge, a lot came down to consistency. It was Brendon Cross who went big and stayed on the most and too the win with 220 points and $500. With only one point behind for the 2^nd place and $200 was David Wilson, it was a tough competition. It was great to see Dylan Tomlinson skating hard again taking the 3^rd place with 212 ponts and going home with $100. BMX class last to run. Dylan Schmidt was ripping it all day but come comp runs he just was missing that punchy push. A 3^rd place, $100 with 218 points. Luke Tooze has been stepping up lately with his riding, he has the power and the ability he just need to refine his style to be a bit more smoother. 2^nd place with $200 and 226 points. First place was all David Pinelli. You could see it when he dropped in, precise riding, big tricks and full of flow. $500 richer with a total of 231 points. We hope that for 2019 the Bunbury Action Sports Games will be back even bigger for all to get involved with, so stay posted. Round 4 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian skatepark series takes place in Pinjarra so be sure to check our coming events page for more info.

Clockwise from top left – Shane McIver took 5^th in the bmx open class but this super whip was one of the best tricks at the competition – Adam Puffler took home another Vokul complete scooter, this one from winning the intermediate scooter class – Rowan Cosh started his bmx journey when he was 3 after seeing a Freestyle Now bmx stunt show, now 12 years later he has some awesome x-ups – Dylan Tomlinson contorted and high on his skateboard, just the way he wants it.

Round 1 of the 2018 Freestyle Now Western Australian skatepark competition series kicked off at the Bassendean skatepark as park to the Gravit8 youth festival. As always the Gravit8 festival did not disappoint. The Town of Bassendean youth workers as always set up the festival so that the night would be rad. Heaps of activities to get involved in if you were not competing or just wanted to chill out. Lots of families come out to support the competition which is always the best. With 61 competitors to get through it was going to be a hard press to get them all done in the allotted time. But as normal Freestyle Now got the skatepark competition done without effort and done smoothly. We would also like to thank our supporters Kickass BMX, The 4 skateboard company, Modus Bearings, Grit scooter, and the Town of Bassendean. Round 4 takes place in Pinjarra so be sure to check our coming events page for more info.

Clockwise from top left – Kyle Bridgeland took advantage of the free slushies and got a 1^st in skateboard intermediate – Benjamin Targett use his silent bicycle to partake in some stunts to win 1^st place in the bmx intermediate class – Cameron Harapeet was on fire and in the intermediate scooter class, not long till he will need to ride in the open class, he is getting that good – Ross Rogen-Green show up and proceeded to skate really good in his first run but not so good in his second, 3^rd place but it was a treat to see his skills. More photos can be found on facebook here.

Luke Tooze took home the 2^nd in BMX open but he was airing higher than anyone and this hip jump is proof. Dam he surely can fly.

The point series is open to all participants that compete in the intermediate and open classes 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 2017 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 = 15 , 6th = 5 , 7th onwards = 3

A congratulations goes out to the competitors who competed and followed the series enough to keep their points up. This series doesn’t really dictate who it the best rider in the state but gives the competitors a series to follow to work on a year end title. The 2018 series is set to kick off with round 1 at the Bassendean skatepark on the 16th of February and round 2 will be at the Action Sports Games at the Bunbury skatepark on the 3^rd March.

The winners in open classes will win an away trip with Freestyle now to one of our away events as a guest squad member for the event. All travel costs, accommodation, meals will be taken care of as well as being paid for their services. Other prizes will be awarded to top 3 in all classes.
