On Saturday 22 June Council partnered with BMD Rumble Pro Tour to bring the Rumble AM Series Skateboarding Competition to the Lockyer Valley. The Rumble AM Series is a national league for skateboarders and their communities, and hosting a skateboard competition of this level in the region provided a pathway for local and regional skaters to improve their skills and gain competition experience amongst the best of the best.
34 competitors travelled to Gatton Skatepark from New Zealand, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and throughout South-East Queensland to attend the event which provided a boost to local accommodation providers and businesses. The twilight event catered to all ages, with experience levels ranging from first-time competitors through to Olympic contenders.
Special thanks go to the event organisers Rumble, to the Rotary Club for their catering services, and to all the participants and spectators that attended and supported this event.
