Registration is open for skaters and scooters who are keen to take part in the Central Coast Series Skate and Scooter Competition 2022.
Taking place at Bato Yard at The Entrance, the competition will be held during the Easter holidays on 13 April and includes a total prize pool of more than $3,000.
Young riders can enter in skate and scooter categories for the chance of being crowned the 2022 Central Coast Series Champion.
Rather than competing in a final, this year’s winner and runner up will be decided based on a cumulative tally, determined by the level of skill and difficulty of each trick performed.
Riders aged 25 years and over will also be able to compete for the first time in the competition by entering the new Masters Best Trick Division.
Council Unit Manager Leisure Beach Safety and Community Facilities, Phil Cantillon, said the popular competition provides young riders a platform to showcase their skills and expertise.
“The Series was unfortunately unable to go ahead last year due to the ongoing pandemic, however we’re excited to see its return in 2022, with the format changing slightly to skate and scooter categories across one day of competition.
“The event will also provide young people across the region the chance to get involved beyond competing through inclusion in event management, judging, emceeing and musical performances,” he said.
The competition is aimed at beginner, intermediate and sponsored riders and provides a great platform for young riders of all skill levels to participate.
The 2022 Central Coast Series Skate and Scooter Competition will be held at Bato Yard, 460 The Entrance Rd, Bateau Bay NSW on Wednesday 13 April from 9am to 3pm with each competitor competing in two (one minute) heats.
Competition entry is open to the first 100 riders to register aged 5 to 24 years in disciplines including skate street, skate park and scooter.
The age divisions include Under 12 years, Under 16 years, Open Men’s, Open Women’s, Sponsored and Masters (aged 25 years and over)
There is no fee upon registration to compete, with entries open to riders until 5pm on Friday 8 April 2022.
