Skaters Ramp it Up Across Adelaide

Adelaide, South Australia - It was no ordinary day for skateboarders across the city of Adelaide. The team from Boardshop Australia had arrived from the Gold Coast for the “Ramp it Up Tour” of Adelaide skateparks. The rolling skate festival began early Saturday morning at the Henley Beach skatepark, before moving to Adelaide Shores, then to City skatepark and finally dropping in at the Seaford facility.

Skaters from across the metro area turned out to greet the Boardshop crew. It was an action packed day of demonstrations, impromptu best-trick competitions and free product tosses at the four skateparks. All skaters were eligible to participate in the competitions free-of-charge and the Boardshop crew held a raffle at each skatepark to ensure that no skateboarder went home empty handed.

“It’s really great to have such a fantastic turn-out” says Boardshop team manager Tony Gembeck “to meet fellow skaters, go for a roll and then give back to the skate community. I’m stoked! The skaters here are an amazing group of youth and the parks here in Adelaide some of the best anywhere. It’s a credit to the forward thinking of local councils that they provide this caliber of skatepark facilities. I can’t wait to come back.”
