The event, which is one of a series of amateur events being held at skate parks across Australia, offers locals a chance to pull out their best tricks they compete to be champion of their region.
YMCA Action Sports Specialist Lily Smith said the competition at Corowa was a chance for young locals to showcase their talent.
“There are some amazing up and coming skaters, scooter riders and BMXers. These competitions give them the spotlight they deserve,” she said.
Ms Smith said the face of traditional skateboarding was changing especially since skateboarding was added to the Tokyo Olympic Games.
“The series presents a great opportunity for young skateboarders to harness their skill and progress through a structured national pathway,” she said.
There are more than 100 Skate Park League events a year, making up the Australian Skate Park League, which is the biggest and most established grassroots skateboard, scooter and BMX series in Australia.
The NSW competitions makes up one part of YMCA’s national pathway program which are held in skate parks across the country. As well as showcasing talent, the league also creates opportunities for young people to gain experiential practical training in skate park event management.
