Alpine Shire 15 Sep 2023

About 100 people gathered at the Bright skatepark with 35 riders participating in skateboard, scooter, and BMX events.   

The youngest rider at just 5-years-old was Mason Taylor from Albury.   

Alpine Shire Mayor, John Forsyth, said Council was proud to continue to support the skate park series. 

"It offers young people the opportunity to participate in a really friendly and supportive environment," Cr Forsyth said. 

"It was fantastic to have so many local riders, as well as riders travelling to take part from Albury, Benalla and Wangaratta." 

The North East Skate Park Series comprises 16 rounds of grass roots events across the north east, supported by local governments through their FReeZA funding and run by Al Taylor from Als skate company in Albury.
