Shifty's Skate Shop

The weather turned it on for a beautiful winters day at Woden Skatepark for the ACT Hub’s Game of Skate proudly presented by Shifty’s skateshop. Mat Rat was on the mike dishing out the heckling, and we had 20 crew signed up to go head to head for $500 cold hard cash thanks to Mick at Shifty’s!!

There was a few surprise upsets early in the piece with Cooma’s David Wybrew taking out veteran Ricky Baker with what was a long game. Both skaters had deep bags of tricks. Young Thomas Hanisch took out past Garema Game of Skate winner Kenny Hammond. A number of the crew had come from out of town and I guess 500 big ones is nothing to sneeze at.

The crowd could follow the action with Jack Lovell manning the whiteboard to assist Mat Rat to keep track. Some sick shredding went down and I was hyped to see so many crew keen to participate. Long story short, it was an epic day – thanks everyone for coming.
