GROUNDSWELL RAIL JAM
DATE: Saturday 11 October
TIME: 4pm - 7pm
LOCATION: Skate Park
BMX scooter and skateboard riders will compete against other riders in their discipline and their own determination by sending the best trick down or over the rail or stair at the Scarborough beach skatepark. This is a very technical competition that takes place in a very loose format over a 40 minute time frame. Each competitor will have the opportunity to throw down their best trick with the hopes that no one will beat it. It’s back and forth with the skills until there is one final winner, the one who will shut down the rail. Whatever your wheels are, you will be able to get involved. Watch as Perth’s best riders send it down the rail with some crazy tricks. Who will be the first to shut down the rail with their set? This is something you want to be a part of either as a spectator or as a participant.
