Willetton skatepark competition – Round 16 freestyle now western Australian skatepark competition series

twitterlinkedinmail

Round 16 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place at the Willetton skatepark. Willetton is a regular competition location with normally two competitions taking place each year. The weather conditions were a bit his a miss leading up to the skatepark competition and come competition day it was sunny and cloudy with chances of rain. It was agreed that the competition was to take place. The competitors were told that it might be only one run due to the rain. Once the skatepark competition got underway as normal everything went smoothly, till it rain and help up the proceedings till the park dried out. With the park dry it was back into it, until it rained once again, on this occasion it was more rain than what was really wanted. There was no way the park was going to dry out from that amount of rain so it was deemed to call it for the day. The only competitors that did not get to compete were the bmx class, so to work out their placing their names were drawn out of a hat. A big thank you to all the competitors who rolled out the rad at the Willetton skatepark competition. We would like to thank the City of Canning as well as our supporters, Colony bmxSacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co
Round 17 takes place at Golden Bay skatepark on the 22nd October. Be sure to check our coming events page for all the latest information.

twitterlinkedinmail

Round 15 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place at the Boyanup skatepark. It has been a few years since Freestyle Now has done a competition at Boyanup. It is a destination for many travelers doing a south west skatepark trip. It was a very cold afternoon / night and those who were brave enough to venture out into the cold were rewarded with much radness.  A few competitors traveled down from Perth to compete, it’s good to see they are following the series around. There were also a few competitors from other south west towns who also came to compete. Seeing familiar faces is always good as well as new faces who were there to roll out the rad. At all of the Freestyle Now skatepark competitions there are three classes for competitors to enter, beginners (younger and still learning), intermediates (competitors with some good skills) and the open class (consistent and dials tricks) in the three disciplines scooter, skateboard and bmx. There is also a girls class to help encourage more girls to enter. A big thank you to all the competitors who rolled out the rad at the Boyanup skatepark competition. We would like to thank the Shire of Capel as well as our supporters, Colony bmxSacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co

Welcome new Freestyle Now recruits squad member – CJ Martinez

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now is pleased to announce its newest recruits squad member CJ Martinez. CJ who is only 11 years old first came to the attention of Freestyle Now when he attended a few skatepark competitions last year. His shear rawness on a skateboard showed much potential for his progression. Over the last year or so CJ has progressed and he can only keep on flowing as he gets older and gets more power behind him. CJ likes to skate open transitions and flowing around a skatepark as opposed to jibbin and skating ledges.

CJ Martinez Freestyle Now recruits squad member at Margaret River - skateboard Sep 2016

The Freestyle Now recruits squad is designed to teach young radsters about how a sponsorship works. So many young shredders say they want to be sponsored but none really understand what then means. Sponsorship is a two way deal, the rider promotes the brand, and the brand helps the rider. Too many young guns think that they just get product and that’s it, they don’t understand how the sponsorship treadmill works. For Freestyle Now, the recruit’s squad is the chance to help out young shredders but also to help them educate others what sponsorship is all about. Every young radster must start somewhere. The recruits is just that place. Younger shredders who show the potential to roll out the rad, being inclusive, show the potential to be good role models and the ability to progress up the ladder of radness, one day could become a full Freestyle Now squad member

Freestyle Now is please to have such a rad skater on our recruits squad and think that CJ Martinez has a some great skating to still be coming, welcome to the squad
