Four Spartan skateboarders made the trip up to Brisbane recently, to skate in the Etnies Road to Rumble Redcliffe competition. This was the first competition this year for these dedicated street-skaters.
This competition is a qualifier for Rumble on the Reef in Mackay next month, which is one of the biggest competitions in the national calendar.
In Under 16s, Aidan Chan made his contest debut in impressive style, showing a good combination of tranny and tech skills with a front rock on the big wall and big spin down the gap.
Thomas Dawson started his runs with a massive ollie down the big set, followed up with boardslide down the rail, guaranteeing a spot in the final. Tom Enwright’s trick selection and consistency saw him go into the finals in first.
James Enwright was skating his first Opens competition, having turned 17 this year. He pulled a massive ollie to pivot on the quarter pipe and a backside flip on the hip to show that he will be a contender against the men in contests to come.
In the U16s final all the skaters turned it up a couple of notches to put on an exciting display. Thomas finished fourth and Tom second, with Aidan in seventh. James finished seventh in the Opens. Look out for contest updates to come.
