SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: ARISA TREW
This 10-year-old Gold Coast based skater girl rides the bowl with such power, confidence and flow that you just gotta stop and watch her. Her smile is pretty contagious too! You will often find her ripping at Pizzey skatepark with her girlfriends who all push each other to skate harder while goofing around and having the best time. Skating at the X-games is her big dream and here at Slabzoo we can definitely see that happen. Goofy footer Arisa Trew is our new Slabzoo Shredder.
‘THE BEST DAY EVER’: MUZZA MASHUP VIBED
Project Distribution turned Murarrie Skatepark into the hub of skateboarding for a day. A day packed with skateboarding, good vibes and free stuuuuuuuff. So much fun! Not only did the Brisbane skateboard community show up in numbers, skateboarders and friends came from all over South-East Queensland to join in on the good times. Photos, results & recap.
SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: NOA BARNES
The kids on the Sunny coast are notorious for their mad skateboarding skills. Noa Barnes is no exception. This 11-year-old ripper basically calls Alex Skatepark his second home and loves skating with his friends at the local or at his favourite, Mackay’s Sugar Bowl. Noa Barnes is Slabzoo's Shredder of The Week!
SHREDDER OF THE WEEK: LUKA KOTZE
If you wanna talk about rapid progression in skateboarding, you cannot go past Luka Kotze. He came outta nowhere 14 months ago when he picked up his skateboard for the first time and hasn’t looked back since. He constantly goes bigger and harder and has grown into a full-blown dedicated skater - who just wants to skate and meet new friends for as long as he can. Luka Kotze is Slabzoo's Shredder of The Week!
