As a World Skate World Cup Challenger, the competition drew top talent from across the region and set a high bar for the season ahead.

12 Australian athletes competed at the event, showcasing the depth, consistency, and progression of scooter riding back home. With performances like these, there’s plenty to be excited about as we look ahead to the rest of the 2026 season, including the 2026 Scooter Australian National Championships commencing on the 9th July at Ramp Attak in Ipswich, QLD.
