Scooters begin the competition at 11 am on Monday 11 April, with BMX riders taking over the comp at 12:30, and skaters competing from 1:30 pm. Entry is free and all abilities are welcome to take part, with skaters and riders judged based on age divisions. Competitors will be judged on tricks they land and the quality of tricks. All competitors must wear a helmet, so make sure to bring your own if you want to take part. The event will also feature a chill out zone, live DJ performance, panna soccer challenge, and a free sausage sizzle for young people aged 12 to 25.
