WA competitors in the YMCA HQ’s Summer Skate Series have been contending with some extreme heat, and this weekend’s competition was no different. The sixth competition of the Series was held in Geraldton; 5 hours North of Perth and the temperature reached over 40 Degrees. The sea breeze, shade, free water and Mountain Dew made the day bearable for the skaters.
A collision during a free skate left a scooter rider with a broken nose and teeth through his lip – showing the importance of giving way whilst using the Park!
Geraldton skaters showed off there skills, including Solley Goddard who jumped two bins. Congratulations to all the winners of the Geraldton Qualifying Round:
