Tasman Skatepark Tour

This page details the Tasman Skatepark Tour. The next tour will be held in 2013.

2012 Tour a Roaring Success

The Tasman Skatepark Tour came, saw and conquered during its 2012 summer circuit. Massive public support, top class competitors, and positive role modelling behaviour on show across the region has only reinforced the intrinsic value of skateparks in our communities.

Competition heats were hosted in Mapua, Takaka, Tapawera, Motueka, Brightwater and Richmond, with riders in Skate, BMX, and Scooter age group categories competing for competition points, prizes and prestige.

Leo Calcasola (15, Nelson) impressed in both scooter and BMX sections, cleaning up the field in 11 out of the 12 competitions he entered in. His signature ‘back flip’ delighted those privileged to watch a young man fearlessly defying the physical laws of gravity.

Trent Luff (Nelson, 16), reigned supreme in the skate section, performing consistently throughout the Tour, performing a vast array of technically advanced tricks.
