Freestyle Now

Willetton skatepark hosted round 6 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series. The day went off really well with a good number of spectators due to the local Lions fair being held in the oval next to the park. A big thank you to the City of Canning and to our supporters  Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co

Clockwise from top left – Billy Watts grew up at the Willetton skatepark. He honed his skills there. Now one of Australias top scooter riders he rolled around the Willetton park with ease and hit everything without even trying. Barrel roll flip over the hip. – Jesse Brown rode so well with a good mixture of skills, this Xup one footer was bangin. – Cory Tyler skated well for the win, this cannonball was just some of the radness. – Calymn Brandt is only young but he is defiantly got some skills that will propel him forward as he grows older.

Round 5 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series took place on Sunday 16th February. The sun was out, it was hot, the skatepark was full, there was radness flowing and the spectators were enjoying the action. The day was split into two with the skatepark competition taking place first followed by a bowl jam. The skatepark competition saw all of the usual action, big tricks, some stacks and a large amount of smiles. It was great to see some girls entering into the girls only class at Dunsborough and young 6 year old Isi Campbell took out the win, big future in skating we hope. Local skate shop Soggy Bones gave away a deck just before the Bowl jam. It’s always great to see a heap of people in a bowl fighting for a prize. The bowl jam was rad. Some great moves from the bmx riders, but the skate was epic. Dunsborough has a large surfing community and it seems to have flow on affect with skateboarding as the town has some epic locals. There were good number of young rippers in the skate bowl jam all willing to take on the big guns but it was Ben Dittmer who was without a doubt the winner, with nonstop flow and radness, at one point he did a good 5 minute run in the bowl. The day would not happen if it was not for the City of Busselton and the Busselton youth council and out supporters, Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co.

Clockwise from top left – Young Tommy Tunncliffe is rad – Matt Adkins is moving well through the competition scene and only still 14 years old – Laclan Micale has so much power in his skating, everyone loves a good boneless – Safyr Iriks took the 2^nd in the girls class and it was great to see her skill.

Dylan Schmidt, tailwhip at height 1^st place in bmx advanced.

Clockwise from top left – Dylan Schmidt killed it in the bowl, this flair is just some of the radness he went with for first place and $50 – Shane Ellis took 2nd, he has been riding for a long time and it shows, a mad 450 over the hip to a large case blew out his tyre and stopped him from going onto challenge Dylan for the 1st place – Matt Adkins is only 14 and is already got some mad skills, fakie bars – Riley Cummings was flowing the bowl well and it shows he has been doing so since it opened a year ago.

Clockwise from top left – Isi Campbell, yes the ramp look really big but that is because Isi is only 6 years old – Luke Parish had some good lines around the bowl to get the flow for these 5.0’s – Ben Dittmer was the winner of the bowl jam, his runs were epic and so to his smiths – Nic Scheltema like the pocket a lot and was going some great grinds on the coping, this well dipped smith is just some of his ability.

Laclan Micale pumped around the bowl a fair bit to get the line to this rad high air.
