Bathurst, Australia- The Australian Skateboard Racing Association and Newton's Playground event organizers are pleased to announce a prize purse of $10,000 for this years event. They have moved heaven and earth to lift this years prize money to reflect the growth in participation and professionalism of our sport in Australia and around the world.
The organizers think this is reflected in the level of riding we are now seeing and hope this creates a benchmark of reward for all the riders that are about to compete for the IGSA World Championships.
