....the first Henbury & Brentry Motion Skate park Competition took place on Monday 17 January with 22 riders (BMXs and Mini-scooters). Our young people found alternative funding, negotiated and booked an all–weather venue, did the risk assessments to keep each other safe and made sure of a good turn out. Nick Pepper of L‘Dub Track hosted the Event.
After an initial hour‘s warm-up session, the atmosphere was nail-biting as the competition got underway. 22 young people lined up for three minutes each of freestyle. With whoops of encouragement and support from spectators and other competitors, they thrilled with their skills and tricks. Top effort, top entertainment value!
An hour of acrobatics later - flips, 180s, 360s, bar spins, tail whips – and a number of spills had been had. And guess what! Everyone helped each other out, got up, re-focused and carried on. Judges, Kyle Brulington and Jordan Hyde faced a real challenge marking the competitors out of 5 for each category. The eventual winners were Kane Orchard on BMX and Rob Rimmer on Scooter, with only a small margin between them and, in second place Lee Morgan (BMX) and Kane Davies (Scooter). Congratulations to the winners! The skill and determination displayed by all competitors were celebrated by everyone and highly praised by the experts - Nick Pepper and the Team at Motion Skate park.
The evening was a huge success, with young people keenly hoping for another similar event. A really big thank you and well done to Kane Davies, Jordan Hyde and Callum Fitzgerald for putting the competition together.
