The Central Coast Series skate, scooter and BMX competition is back for another year – bigger and better than before with new venues and a total prize pool of $5000!

Central Coast Council will host three heats across three different venues where young riders can enter in one or all competitions for a chance to claim the Central Coast Series Champion title.

Council’s Unit Manager Community Partnerships, Glenn Cannard, said the competition has grown to a regional comp spread across the entire Central Coast.

“Originally, the Series was held during Youth Week to activate our skate parks and now it’s being spread across the Coast giving more opportunities to our young riders,” Glenn said.

“This year we have a new venue at Wadalba and we are starting the competition earlier providing more opportunities for our young riders to compete as well as having the final series the highlight event in Youth Week.

“Bato Yard is the premier riding facility on the Coast, so it’s only fitting we host the final series there too.

“As the competition grows, so does the prize money and the number of competitors.”

The event is aimed at beginner, intermediate and sponsored riders to provide an opportunity for young people to participate and compete.

This year the Central Coast Series will be held at:

• Drop in at Dalbs
  Heat 1 – Wadalba Skate Park, Saturday 3 March

• Uminafied
  Heat 2 – Umina Skate Park, Saturday 10 March

• Beast of the Bowl
  Heat 3 – Bato Yard, Saturday 14 April

• Central Coast Series Final
  Bato Yard, Saturday 14 April

Entry is open to all riders aged 5-24 years in skate, scooter and BMX as well as WCMX Wheelchair (Bato only). The Age Divisions include: Under 12 years, Under 16 years, Open Females, Open Males and Sponsored Riders.

The winner in each division will secure a spot in the Final Series for a chance to be named the Central Coast Series Champion 2018 – a highlight of Central Coast Youth Week activities.
