Round 18 – Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series – Kalgoorlie Skatepark

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.

Clockwise from top left – Dean Bidgood took some time off his bike to let his jaw heal, still as rad as ever – Matthew Vaia has come from the east coast to work in Kalgoorlie, he snapped his cranks just before the competition was due to start, look back on a borrowed bike – Blake Pearce down whips the hip – Lachy Scroop is a rad kid and love to skate, gap over grind box to flat.
