Many kids turned out for the skate comp and there were plenty of entries.
The talent shown by these kids is incredible. I'm sorry there wasn't enough prizes for everyone who entered.
Yesterday's skate competition was a huge success with entries in all categories. The day was miserable with a biting wind and misty rain, but it didn't deter the kids, they ran the day and were fair with judging.
We gave out something like 28 prizes, all from the new Enigma skate shop in Wagga, and I'm sure they were all happy. Alex came third in the intermediate BMX and he won a hat, which he swapped for a scooter wheel, plus a couple of other things. There is always lots of swapping after the prizes are handed out.
The Council put the orange mesh up to stop kids from jumping the rail on their bikes, and one kid managed to jump the mesh as well. I got my boss to make an announcement about it when he came down to check on it, and no one else followed suit. The Council is worried about someone hurting themselves badly at one of these competitions, but so far we've been injury free. Usually jumping the rail is every contestant's finale, seeing who can go over the highest and still land right. Not this time though. The one boy who went over yesterday jumped to the ground and just let the bike go.
