BREMER BAY SKATEPARK COMPETITION – JANUARY 2023

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now hosted a skatepark competition at Bremer Bay skatepark. Prior to the competition, Freestyle Now conducted a skatepark coaching session, where participants learned new skills and gained confidence in navigating the skatepark. They also received tips on how a skatepark competition is judged and how to plan their competition run. During the competition, many participants put this advice into practice, resulting in an exciting event well-attended by the town of Bremer Bay. All participants received prizes, regardless of their placing, and some even entered more than one discipline, earning them more prizes. Freestyle Now extends our gratitude to the Bremer Bay community resource centre and Healthways for their support, and invites everyone to check our coming events page for more information on future competitions and other events.

York school BMX scooter and skateboard engagement session

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now recently hosted a BMX, scooter and skateboard incursion for students at the York Primary and High school. The school arranged the sessions with the goal of motivating and inspiring students while promoting the advantages of physical activity for both mental and physical health.

Freestyle Now squad members Shaun Jarvis, Oben McHoull, and Amos Hadad attended the day to provide coaching and guidance to students of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced riders. Freestyle Now supplied a few small ramps and a ledge, along with skateboards, scooters and bikes.  The squad members showed off an array of BMX stunts, skateboard tricks, and scooter moves, motivating the students to attempt them themselves. The engagement sessions were a huge success, with students expressing their enthusiasm and excitement for the sports. Some students even showed potential for becoming skilled riders in the future. Freestyle Now squad member Shaun Jarvis had this to say to the students “We do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard. We fail over and over again, until we succeed. When you learn something new, it is yours, you own it!” Emily Hughes from the Department of Education said “Thank you for coming out, the kids absolutely loved it! We hope to be able to get you back out in the future.” The event was an excellent opportunity for students to explore their interests and gain new abilities. Similar activities can have a positive impact on student engagement and motivation.

Freestyle Now is well-known for promoting action sports and inspiring young riders to follow their dreams. Our participation in the York School engagement sessions showcased our dedication to the cause.

Groundswell Grind  is a celebration of the skateboarding community

RJ Barbaro seemed unstoppable with so much power and flow

The 2022 Groundswell festival in Scarborough was a great event to attend due to its focus on community spirit. The festival brought people together from diverse backgrounds, celebrating diversity, offering excitement through its unique format, and providing a fun and enjoyable experience. The festival showcased the best of different art forms, competitions and activities in a dynamic setting, providing a chance to celebrate various interests and communities in a lively and entertaining environment. One of the competitions that was celebrated was the Groundswell Grind skateboard competition.

The Groundswell Grind skateboarding bowl competition was a showcase of some of the best skateboarding talent from around the great state of Western Australia. Skaters from all ages and skill levels came together to compete at the Scarborough beach bowl, one of the biggest bowls in Australia, pushing the limits of what is possible on a skateboard. The high level of skill and creativity displayed by the skaters left the audience in awe, and the competition was a true celebration of the sport. One of the highlights of the competition was the representation of female skaters with many talented and skilled female skaters showcasing their abilities in the bowl. This not only adds diversity to the competition but also helps to inspire and empower the next generation of female skaters. Another highlight was the impressive turnout of young skaters. The future of skateboarding was well represented with many talented young skaters showcasing their skills and potential. This not only adds excitement to the competition but also helps to inspire and motivate the next generation of skaters.

In the open men’s class Robert-James Barbaro seemed unstoppable but young Cruz Evans was keeping the pressure on for a second place. In the open woman’s class it was a close competition between Mia Kretzer and Hailee Roberts. But, the insane level of competition was not just limited to the open class, many up-and-coming skaters also took the stage and proved that they have what it takes to be the next big thing in skateboarding.

According to the competition manager, Shaun Jarvis from Freestyle Now, “The Groundswell Grind Skateboarding Bowl Competition was a huge success. We were thrilled to see such a strong turnout of talented skaters from all over Western Australia and we are especially proud of the strong representation of female and young skaters. Skateboarding continues to grow in popularity and we are thrilled to be a part of this amazing community.”

Helmet safety ain’t no joke – Be sure your helmet is a certified helmet for your safety

twitterlinkedinmail

Helmets save lives. Wearing a helmet at the skatepark is vital. Wearing the proper helmet is vital. Wearing the helmet properly is vital. Shaun Jarvis runs through helmet information that can either give you a trip to the hospital, stop your riding session for the day, have someone wipe your bum and feed you for the rest of your life, give you a bit of a headache, or let you keep on riding for the day. There is no point wearing an ice cream container with padding, it’s not going to do much. Remember your choice can not only affect you but those around you in the moment and in the long term. Safety never takes a holiday so be sure you have the right helmet that fits right.

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now hosted a skatepark competition at the Cooloongup skatepark thanks to the City of Rockingham. What a super fun event with a good range of participants in skateboard, scooter, rollerskates and BMX out to get rad. For many competitors it was their first time being in a competition and were nervous. Relax and breath and just focus on your riding it the best advice for new comers into competitions, and remember the more competitions you do the more relaxed you get with them. You’re not out to win the competition but out to do the best you can and feel you did a good run. Thank you to all who attended.

Clockwise from top left – Arya Powell took second in the intermediate skateboard, it had been their first competition entered in over 2 years and they were a little nervous, but just relaxing and breathing through it they had two solid runs – Brendan Taylor took some time off from studying to have a roll at the Cooloongup competition and took the first place in the rollerskating division, it’s always a pleasure to see him skate – Dempesy rode BMX and did radical maneuvers, just like Dempsey does – Sampson Martin was the only scooter beginner in the competition but that did not waver his determination and you can tell by his tongue out riding style.

Action Sports Games 2022 – Skateboard – Scooter – BMX competition

twitterlinkedinmail

The 2022 Action Sports Games took place at the Mandurah skatepark after a few delays. The event was scheduled to take place in April but bad weather forced a reschedule. This worked in our benefit as due to Covid having the competition in April would have meant a bunch of restrictions. We would have worked through them to make the event happen, but delaying it a few months meant the restrictions had been lifted and made the event a lot easier to manage and compete in. This year the Action Sports games skatepark competition we set up over two days for all disciplines. Small bowl competition on Saturday, big bowl competition on Sunday with points added together to make the final competition results. It was an interesting concept which saw some great skatepark action.

2022 Action Sports Games open winners, clockwise from top left – women’s skateboard open, mens skateboard open, BMX open, scooter open

Saturday morning started with BMX and an action packed competition with the stand out in the intermediate class being Ronan McCamish. Mad flow big airs. Shae Mathhews was keeping up the pressure with only 1 point between them at the end of Saturday. In the Open class Dylan Schmidt destroyed the small bowl with all of his radical BMX skills taking the top spot from Luke Tooze with 4 points between them.

After BMX was scooter and also was the rain. It rained and then it stopped and almost dried up and then it rained and almost dried up and then it rained. Ohh the torment. It was finally called as a no comp for scooters on Saturday. Skateboard was next and the skatepark dried up. Or did it?

Skateboard was awesome. So many young rippers. The 9 years and under class was stacked with talent and you need to remember the name Otis Sienkewitz, the kid shreds. Just before the open class was to take place it rained, insert sad face here. It stopped raining and it was all hands in for drying up the park with blowers, squeegees, brooms and towels, and it was on. 2022 was the first year to have both open men’s and women’s in skateboard. Action Sports Games skateboard champion Brendon Cross was in full effect to defend his title but the three Evans boys, Cruz, Via and Zen, were there to keep up the pressure. There skating skills have exploded in the past year. And the rain came in again and then it stopped and again it was all hands in for drying up the park with blowers, squeegees, brooms and towels, and it was on. This was repeated many times over the course of the skateboard competition, the competitors were keen to get it done, bit thanks to everyone getting in and doing the work. The women’s open class was super rad with Hailee Roberts being the raddest and ending up 2 points ahead of Mia Kretzer and Lily Heney.

Come Sunday morning it was scooters in the big bowl and no rain in sight. The open class was stacked with riders of all styles but the two top riders Adam Puffler and Mitch Bacon were going head to head with big overhead trick combos. They were both going large and in charge. When the wheels had stopped rolling it was Mitch 2 points ahead of Adam for the win. A super tight competition result.

Clockwise from top left – Mitch Bacon on the upside down tailwhip action – Stanley air from Adam Puffler – There is no no stopping Brenten Waddingham – Jake Budgie winner of the intermediate class – More photos can be found on our Facebook page here

Clockwise from top left – Mia Kretzer took home first place in the first open women’s Action Sports games skateboard competition – Brendon Cross rolling and getting rad – Cruz Evans on the way to a first place trophy and prize money – Watch out for Otis Sienkewitz they are a super rad skater on the up – More photos can be found on our Facebook page here

Skateboard was the highlight of Sunday afternoon, with lots of spectators gathered and the hype was large. In the 9 years and under it was again Otis Sienkewitz destroying the bowl with some large skills and taking the first place for the weekend. Mason Clark and Tayah Payne were rolling with the skills required to take the second and 3td places and we are looking forward to seeing more of their skating skills in the future. In the women’s class Mia Kretzer had the skills to jump ahead of Hailee Roberts by a few points to take the win for the weekend and a 1st place share in the $850 prize purse with Hailee in 2nd and Lily Heney in 3rd place. We need to give a big props to Lola Grislain who took a heavy slam in the deep end to a trip to hospital to get a broken arm mended. The open men’s was so rad with a battle between longtime Action Sports Games champion Brendon Cross and the three Evans boys. Anyone of them had the ability to win and could have if the sequence of tricks were to be working. What was needed to take the win was lots of flow, big tricks and having the consistency to match. This is what Cruz Evans had. The tricks were on. Brendon Cross was trying to match but a little less tricks packed into the run might have been the only reason Brendon got less points. 1st to Cruz Evans, 2nd Brendon Cross with Zen Evans taking 3rd

To finish up the two day competition was BMX. In the beginner class after two days of competition, 4 competition runs, 3 judges, 3 judging categories and more numbers to be added than Steven Hawking could manage there was a tie for firsts and second between Liam Miller and Morgan West, guess it was bound to happen. So a one minute run off was had and judges were to decide who rode better. The win went to Liam who had higher airs and more flow, it was close though. Big props to Bianca Martin who was in the lead at the end of Saturday’s competition but just missed out on a few points and took home the 3rd place. In the intermediate class it was all Ronan McCamish. Winning his first and last intermediate competition. Expect to see him ride the open class next year. The open class was a tight battle between Dylan Schmidt and Luke Tooze. Both had it for the win and to share in the $870 prize money. Both riders went big, though Luke went bigger. Both riders has tricks though Dylan has more. Both riders sent 360 whips over the volcano, Dylan doing it for the first time. Dylan’s second run was so hyped and the energy was electric. Dylan went with the energy and front flipped out of the bowl but just missed the rotation around to wheels. Landing back wheel heavy resulted in also landing on his back. Off to hospital and off the bike for a few months while some fractures heal up. Lukes runs on Sunday were just a bit better than Dylans and was awarded 5 points and then with Dylan riding better on Saturday Luke won the Action Sports games BMX open class for the second year in a row, congratulations.

twitterlinkedinmail

When Bridgetown had their skatepark built back in 2008 Freestyle Now was there to help celebrate the opening by hosting a skatepark competition, and it was an honor to return 14 years later to help celebrate the opening of the skatepark upgrade. The new upgrade is rad. It has some great elements and is linked to the old park well, which helps hosting competitions. The Bridgetown competition marked the inclusion of the first official rollerskate competition for Freestyle Now. With skateboard, scooter and BMX already on the schedule adding another discipline made for a super hectic but super rad competition. Rollerskating at skateparks has been steadily growing and now rollerskating is ready for competitions, and all the proof you need for that happened at Bridgetown, the rollerskate crew brought the hype

The Bridgetown / Manjimip area has a great skatepark scene and the crews were stoked on the competition, it was also great to see many past locals returning to where it started for them to participate in the competition. The morning of the competition Freestyle Now hosted a skatepark coaching session which was well attended and many skilled were taught along with what judges are looking for in a competition.

We need to give a big shout out to the Blackwood youth action team, Relationships Australia WA, Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes and the Rotary Club of Bridgetown for supporting the competition and also a massive shout out to the Paper planes store in Bridgetown for supporting the rollerskate competition. They definitely know rollerskates and if your in town be sure to stop in and check out their shop, its super rad.

We would also like to thank all the competitors for attending and making the event as rad as it was. Competitions are great to attend to meet new people and see other riders and their styles of riding. Hope to see you at the next competition soon. Be sure to check our coming events page for more information on all of our coming events. A full list of all the competitions that Freestyle Now has hosted can be found on the past competitions page here.

2021 Margaret River Agricultural show – BMX Scooter and Skateboard stunt shows

twitterlinkedinmail

 

 

Freestyle Now attended the 2021 Margaret River agricultural show with our portable skatepark set up and rolled out rad with some amazing BMX, scooter and skateboard stunt shows. The team of radical participants consisted of Shaun Jarvis, Dylan Schmidt, Levi Rebbeck, Sam Ormski and Jack Velkoski. Freestyle Now has performed at the Margaret River Show many times before but this was the first time Freestyle Now was there with a BMX, scooter and skateboard show. Friday night was super rad, local band Field Unit played right next to the show area, pumping out the rock vibes and amping everyone up. Saturday was a good day with the ramps being moved around to mix it up a bit and keeping the level of stoke up. It was a rad time in Margaret River and the shows were super rad with lots of crowd interactions.

When it comes to entertainment Freestyle Now definitely has you covered with a high entertainment value bmx stunt show. Make sure you check out our coming events page to see where the next Freestyle Now stunt shows will be going down. If you would like this type of great entertainment at your next event please get in contact with Freestyle Now with your requirements. A full list of all the stunt shows that Freestyle Now has ever done over the past 35 years can be found on our past stunt show page
