The 2024 Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle was one of the best events Scarborough Beach has seen take place in the iconic Bowl. With the backdrop of the Groundswell Festival and perfect weather conditions, the day was set to be a super rad one. Riders and fans gathered for an epic display of talent, flow, and progression. The Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle followed a unique battle format competition. Each competitor had two qualifying runs, where they were scored on difficulty, diversity, and consistency. These scores determined the rider’s placement in the battle round order. The battle finals were nothing short of epic. In this stage, riders had to either battle their way to the top or defend their position against challengers. The format started with the 6th place rider taking on the 5th place rider. Each competitor had alternating 30-second runs, and the judges would vote on who performed best. The winner advanced to challenge the next rider up the rankings. This intense head-to-head format continued until the top qualifier faced their challenger in the final showdown.

In the Rad class, it was Bianca Martin who qualified in the top spot after a closely contested qualifying round. It was fantastic to see two young riders, Ziggy Ellis and Logan Knibbs, participate in the event. Both riders were 5 and 6 respectively and needed some help getting out of the bowl, but their enthusiasm and potential were evident. We look forward to seeing them riding and ripping it up next year! Additionally, it was great to see Salvia Hogan return to the Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle, adding to the excitement. The competition in the Rad class was fierce, with any of the top three riders having the potential to take the win. In the battle round between Jayce Blakers and Billy Gibson, it was incredibly close, with the judges taking time to deliberate and vote on who would advance to challenge Bianca Martin. A narrow two-to-one vote in favor of Billy sent him into the final battle. The final showdown between Bianca Martin and Billy Gibson was electric. Bianca showcased incredible high airs and smooth flow, captivating the judges and the crowd. Billy gave it his all, trying to take the win, but Bianca held her ground and edged him out in a nail-biting finish. Congratulations to Bianca on the well-deserved win!

The Raddest class saw an incredible showdown. In the qualifying rounds, the 2023 winner Sam Grace had secured the top spot, while three-time BMX Bowl Battle winner Luke Tooze qualified in 4th place. With standout riders from the East Coast, Sam Grace, Jayden Fuller, and Chris James, this was shaping up to be one of the best battle competitions we have ever seen. The battle finals began with Ben Gately taking on Brad Evans. Both riders know the Scarborough Beach bowl well, with Ben showing off smooth and fast lines while Brad delivered rad airs and epic grinds. After an intense round, it was Ben who came out on top, advancing to face Luke Tooze. Ben brought his trademark manual lines to the next battle, but they were no match for Luke’s speed and massive airs. Luke’s enormous griz air in the deep end had the crowd roaring, securing his win and setting up a battle against East Coast rider Jayden Fuller. Jayden wowed with high airs and double tricks, including his signature double euro airs. Luke put up a strong fight, but a fall on a tire slide may have cost him. Jayden’s smooth and high-energy performance carried him through to the next round against fellow Colony BMX teammate Chris James.

Clockwise from top left – Brad Evans is a regular at the Scarborough bowl, he know all the lines and knows how to air the 12 foot deep end. – Jayden Fuller came to the Groundswell BMX bowl battle with all of his flow and style and showed it all, 3rd place. – Ben Gately another regular at the Scarborough bowl, has some awesome skills, with rad manuals and high airs. – Chris James with an awe-inspiring flare over the waterfall – Find the full album of photos on our facebook page here

Luke Tooze has the best Griz airs, a crowd favorite for sure, Luke is a 3 time Groundswell BMX bowl battle winner, this year an honorable 4th was his end result

Jayden tried his best with smooth lines and high airs, but Chris James was on another level. Chris powered through the bowl with massive indy seat grabs, lookbacks, tail whips, and one of the biggest barrel roll/backflip transfers ever seen. (Check the video highlights!) It was a unanimous 3-0 vote in favor of Chris, setting the stage for the final battle against the 2023 champion, Sam Grace. The final battle between Chris James and Sam Grace was a showdown for the ages. Chris set the stage with an epic run, delivering speed, power, and precision. Sam followed with his trademark style, massive airs, backflip drop-ins, and a foot jam to fakie in the deep end. Unfortunately, Sam struggled with consistency on some fakie tricks, missing key moments like front flip fakies and fakie bar spins. Had he nailed them, the result might have been different. In the end, Chris’s speed, tricks, and flawless execution gave him the edge. The judges took their time deliberating, it was that close, but ultimately crowned Chris James the winner of the 2024 Groundswell BMX Bowl Battle.

A massive thank you to The Groundswell festival and The City of Stirling for their support for making this event happen and to our competition supporters  Colony BMX, Local BMX and Sneaky Wholefoods . Freestyle Now is proud to continue fostering the BMX community and inspiring the next generation.

Andrew Ahumada superman backflip to the gasps of the Karratha FeNaCing Festival crowds. The shows were super rad with the crowds makeing lts of noise and bringing eregy back into the riding zone

Freestyle Now, Australia’s premier  BMX stunt show team made an epic return to the Karratha FeNaCing Festival after 16 years, and it was well worth the wait! Riders Andrew Ahumada, Luke Tooze, Samuel Grace, and Shaun Jarvis brought incredible energy to Karratha over the two-day event. In a surprising twist, Karratha experienced heavy rain just days before, leaving the ground waterlogged. Although conditions began to dry up, the rain returned each night before the shows, adding just a bit more water. Despite these challenges, the team powered through, delivering unforgettable BMX stunt shows that left the crowd in awe.

Samuel Grace wowed the audience with an insane 720 barspin followed by an unbelievable 1080 that had the crowd roaring. Andrew Ahumada brought his signature style to the show, landing smooth double backflips that left jaws on the floor. Meanwhile, Luke Tooze showcased his mastery of the BMX, throwing out 360 tailwhips and bike flips with precision. Shaun Jarvis, as usual, rolled out the rad with his skills on the mic and some great flatland tricks, keeping the energy high and the audience hyped throughout the entire performance.

The last time we were at the FeNaCing Festival was in 2007, and it was fantastic to be back in Karratha. Despite the slightly damp ground, the team pushed through and delivered an unforgettable show for the Karratha crowd, making it a true highlight of the event. We can’t wait to come back again and do it all over! Big thanks to the City of Karratha for having Freestyle Now come and entertain the crowds at the 2024 FeNaCing Festival

twitterlinkedinmail

Freestyle Now team rider Sasha Berg released her first rollerskate edit in collaboration with Ewen Robson behind the camera and editing, and Lewis Ricketts who produced the music. This project was mostly filmed in 2022/2023 and we are stoked to see Sasha working with others in the local scene to shine a light on her skating. Read what Sasha has to say about it below. 

“I named this edit “FUN” because of all the things skating has been for me over the years, fun has been a constant. Creating these edits plays an important part in solidifying an era of your skating. It acts as something to reflect on so you can understand where you’ve come from and hopefully inspire others within the rollerskate community. I am super thankful to Ewen for not only filming and editing this piece but being the one to spark the idea and encourage me to start the project. Another thank you to Lewis for producing the music and believing in me. And a big shout out to Emmi Rumsa for her skating and friendship.”
