The Rumble

Things are growing and getting wild in Skateboarding right now. We had the first BMD Group Ramped up Whitsundays event over the weekend in Airlie Beach and it did not disappoint. The 2 day event took on the Cannonvale Bowl followed a Vert Competition on acreage out near Shute harbour. We took some of Australia's Finest for the weekend and gave them a weekend to remember. The event and location has the potential to be a global destination for skateboarders and we're already excited for next year. Big thanks to BMD Group for transforming the public bowl and vert ramp into event spaces with your infrastructure support, and to both Tourism Whitsundays & Whitsunday Regional Council for hosting us and all your efforts. There is so much content and highlights to be released, so for now enjoy this clip of Lachie Abbott from Prestige Ramps Worldwide, who came up and put on an absolute show over the weekend for spectators.

Thanks to a dear friend and sponsor Apex vac solutions who have been our Major and sole sponsor for the Skateboarding National Junior Series here in Australia. Without you we wouldn't have the talent ID, opportunity and competitions to help our juniors develop. 3 Girls from the series competed last week in Paris, and had higher broadcast ratings than swimming, as well as more crowds than the Matildas. Chloe Covell (pictured centre below, made it to the finals last week in Paris) We're wishing Arisa Trew (pictured right) good luck tonight in the Womens Park event in Paris.

Whats Goin on? We've been busier than ever building skateboarding across the Pacific. Here's a snapshot of some of the projects we're working on. Launch in the Whitsundays. We're launching a bowl and vert event in the Whitsundays which will make the Pro tour a total of 6 stops in Australia. This will be a stepping stone in developing larger events for the other Olympic Discipline. Have a peak here https://lnkd.in/g34NQ47z Pacifika Cup 2024. We're establishing the First Pacifika Cup to be held at the Iconic Field Mining Services Group Rumble on the Reef Event. The cup will host Fiji, Solomon Islands, PNG, and a number of other nations in their own unique event aimed at promoting and developing skateboarding in the Pacific. Discussions of a Powerhouse region. With Queensland heading to 2032, we're looking at establishing the region as a skateboarding powerhouse over the next 8 years and making it a global Icon. Queenslanders have the opportunity to take 3 of the 4 Gold medals in skateboarding at Paris 2024. We've been talking to the current and Shadow Governments about how they will support it going forward, with the league here the #1 development league on the planet, but no support from the current government on developing the programs that have developed the athletes. We've met in person with Tim Mander, and have reached out to both Steven Miles and Michael Healy for discussion around planning ahead. NQ 2032. Mackay, Whitsundays & Townsville invest more in facilities, development and events than any other region. We're working with these cities towards a 2032 plan, where the competing athletes from around the world can base themselves there to acclimatise and train in the lead up to 2032. This is with a collaboration between Greg Williamson Ry Collins & Suzy Batkovic OLY Servicing Victoria and NSW. We're rolling out 2 Tours in the off season to support Skateboarders from Victoria and NSW, as SA and WA have major events. These tours will promote the league and provide great grassroots programs to the other states. Thanks for your help building this Steffan Jurd We maintain our #1 Global status of developing skateboarders. Out of 207 Countries, our league has produced 13% of the skateboarders for Paris 2024. No other league in the world has produced this many athletes. Broadcast free to air. We're hitting around 8.5 x the viewership since moving to free to air.
