Freestyle Now

High Wycombe skatepark hosted round 10 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series. The day was looking a bit gloomy with the weather but with everything in place it was all systems go. There was a good spectator turnout considering the weather situation and after the first round of scooter beginners it decided to unleash from above. With about an hour and a half break in competition while the rain came down and the park dried up it was back into it. Although the beginners only had one round the advanced class did get two rounds of skatepark competition in. Advanced scooter had some big trick thrown down and it was a tough contest between Ben Thomas and Jiordan Giacoppo with only 1 point between them for first and second, Ben took the win. We have to give a big shout out to the Shire of Kalamunda for their support and to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co for the support with prizes.

Clockwise from top left – Max Kunkler skated really consistent and threw some great rail skills 1st place in skate advanced – Ben Thomas took out the first place in scooter advanced, but only just. Whips over the box – Max Black had won the beginners skate class the last few years at High Wycombe and moved up to the advanced class, he skated like a true champion and had some great lines around the park, 4th place – Luiz Paulo has got the radness, 1st place in bmx advanced, footplant whip in.

Golden Bay skatepark hosted round 9 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series. This was the last competition in the City of Rockingham skatepark series where the winners in each of the advanced classes receive an invite to a special invite only competition that will take place in early July. There was a good mix of skatepark users throwing down some good skills. The competition was held midweek during the school holidays so the turnout was a bit on the light side but gave the younger competitors a good opportunity. Lots of thanks to the City of Rockingham and Natasha for all her continual work with the youth of the area. Also to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co for the support with prizes.

Kalgoorlie skatepark hosted round 7 of the Freestyle Now Western Australian Skatepark Series. The new additions to the skatepark have been rolling for about a year now and the locals sure have made the most of it. Kalgoorlie now has one of the best skatepark in Western Australia, by far. What makes a good skatepark? It has got to have good flow, a good mix of ramps and obstacles be well built and also allowing multiple users without the risk of crossing paths for collisions. The older part of the park is about 12-13 years old now and the new additions have created a large park with good participant use. The new bowl is amazing and has endless flow. On competition day the locals made good use of the new park with many new users showing their skills advancement. There was a good mix of participants in the categories and spectators were good. It is great to see that with the new skatepark the scene in Kalgoorlie is still strong. Thank you to the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder and to our supporters Stowaway distribution, Sacrifice scooters and 4 skateboard Co for the support with prizes.

Matthew Vaia backflips the hip and takes the 1^st place in bmx advanced.

Clockwise from top left – Gus Goodwin is just one rider who has benefitted from the new park, his flow around the bowl is amazing – Shakur Paul-Crump used as much of the park as he could even the shopping trolleys – Baily Dunlop mid feeble grind – Josh Castle is moving well through the realm of skating, it’s good to the young shredder progressing well over the last few years.

Corey Smithies has been a Kalgoorlie local for many years, rad table top in the new bowl.
