The Fair Go skateboard competition took place at the Ballina skatepark over three days last weekend and included riders from all over Australia aged from three to 75 years old.
‘It was an awesome weekend, we had close to 90 riders all up. It was definitely the best weather we have ever had,’ said Tony Chavez, who has been running the skate competition for nine years.
‘The Ballina Council and the State government got involved with this one and we are planning another for later in the year.
‘We had $11,000 in prize money in total with open-grade winners receiving money. We also had cash prizes for different trick categories’, he said.
