Central Coast Council is calling on all skateboard, BMX and scooter riders to send in a video clip showing off some serious skill for a chance to win the ultimate Bato Yard prize pack.

Live to Ride opens today to all riders of all abilities and ages.

Council’s Team Leader Community Education, Danielle Hargreaves, is encouraging riders from beginners to competitors to get out there and film how you live to ride to be in the running to win a VIP experience at the official opening of Bato Yard on Sunday 14 August.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re just learning or can already master complicated moves, the competition is open to everyone,” Danielle said.

“And this is one prize everyone will want to win!

“The winners will receive an exclusive VIP experience at the official opening of Bato Yard which includes a prize pack full of goodies and merchandise as well as the chance to meet with the professional riders performing on the day.

“All you need to do is film yourself either skating, scooting or BMXing and send it in.

“Videos can be shot on smartphones, tablets, go pros, camcorders or any other videoing device you have and should be between 90 seconds and two minutes long.”

The competition closes 5pm, Monday 18 July. For full details and all the T&Cs, visit www.wyongalive.com.au

Bato Yard is expected to open in July and will be the biggest and best skate park in the region.

It will have the best of both skating worlds, with the deepest competition bowl in Australia and a unique flow bowl as well as a competitive street area and additional street plaza.

The official opening will be held on Sunday 14 August from 10am-4pm and will include a number of demonstrations from some of the region’s, even Australia’s, top riders.
