Whether its jumps, trucks or tracks, if it’s skate related then nothing is off limits when Everything Skate hits the Albany Sk8 & BMX Park on Sanford Road next week.

The City of Albany in partnership with Rollin’ Youth are hosting skate coaching clinics, a demo and a mini skate competition on Saturday, February 15 from 10am with prizes and a free sausage sizzle.

Information sessions for local skaters, BMX and MTB riders on the new Youth Challenge Park Project will be held by the City’s Major Projects team and design consultants to gain valuable feedback on the future of the park that has been supported by Department of Health, State Government and Lotterywest.

City of Albany Executive Director Community Services Susan Kay said the event is a celebration of our youth and a chance for them to connect through a common skating interest.

“It is fantastic to be able to offer coaching clinics for our young skateboarders who will be able to learn new tricks and improve their skating skills whilst mentoring each other and sharing tips,” she said.

“With our Major Projects team and design consultants there to take on all feedback on the Youth Challenge Park, it is a great opportunity for skaters, BMX and MTB riders to have their say on the future of an area they value and respect.”

Bookings for the coaching clinics and the mini skate competition are essential. Please visit http://everythingsk8.eventbrite.com.au
