North East Skate Park Series a success in Mansfield

Published on 20 June 2025

The North East Skate Park Series’ Mansfield Round drew an impressive crowd of competitors and spectators from across the state on Sunday 25 May.

Skateboarders, scooter riders, rollerbladers and BMX riders of all ages showcased their skills.

The young people of Mansfield’s Amplify Committee (formerly FReeZA) teamed up with Als Skate Co to host the day, putting on a free BBQ for competitors and spectators to enjoy. With perfect weather for the event, clear skies and sunshine, the event drew many from the local community to come out and get involved.

The 2025 series saw a significant increase in competitors and female participation, especially in the skateboarding division, highlighting the growing diversity of the sport. Local skateboarder and Amplify member Dekoda Beekman received a brand-new skateboard from event organiser Al Taylor after impressing judges riding a borrowed board during her heat.

Mayor Cr Steve Rabie thanked the community for coming together to support an important event for the Shire’s young people.

“Skateboarding has a strong legacy in Mansfield, as do the other disciplines in the series. It’s fantastic to see growing enthusiasm and participation in these sports,” he said.

“We’re proud to have partnered with Als Skate Co to support the Mansfield Round of the series. It’s wonderful to see such strong local support and we look forward to welcoming the North East Skate Park Series back to Mansfield in 2026,” said Cr Rabie

Winners from each category will advance to the Grand Final at Als Skate Co in Wodonga later this year. For a full rundown of winners by category and age division and for Amplify’s upcoming events, keep an eye on Mansfield Shire Youth's social media channels.
