Skaters, scooters and BMX bikers are ready to roll for a shot at the north-western series skate competition title which comes to Epping Skate Escape park at Meadow Glen Reserve and Rotary Park in Bacchus Marsh next month.

The series started last month in Wallan with events hosted every Saturday at skate parks across the region.

Temperatures won’t be the only thing tipped to soar as competitors impress the judges with their best tricks in a bid to qualify for the regional finals at Kinglake Skate Park in November.

Competitors face off in open men’s and women’s, under 12, 14 and 16-year-old divisions.
