Diamond Creek skatepark is an old park with one of the best 6ft mini ramps you'll ride in Melbourne. It's also built from old crete so it is grippy and dries quicker.
We’ve been putting on the banks jam on and off now for over 20 years, this was the first one in 4 years but from the feedback from the day it has me stoked to do it annually again. Shoutout to everyone that came from all over the country it means a lot to this scene that riders are still down to travel far just to ride a bunch of sketchy ramps in a drain for a day.
Capalaba skatepark is located 30 minutes south of Brisbane and definitely a park you checkout! The bowl is super fun with plenty of great features and a plaza with some good rails to keep the any 4 pegger happy.
Yea skatepark is located about an hour and half north east of Melbourne. It's a fun park that is laid out nIcely so you can session the plaza part and link a few things together all whilst people can session the mini ramp and hips without getting in the way of each other.
Nambucca Heads skate park is a fun park that's well worth stopping past anytime you're roadtrippping along the east coast of Australia. It features 2 semi closed off bowls around 5-6ft deep that are pretty smooth and since they're built from old crete they're nice and grippy.
Underwood skate park is located 20 minutes south of Brisbane that features a really fun and smooth spine / bowl setup that also has a good sub box and slanted bank transfer. The other section of this park isn't really anything amazing but still has some features and is separated from the bowl.
Macksville skate park is located about an hour south of Coffs Harbour. It's a really fun park with multiple unique setups that make it well worth the stop for a session.
Trafalgar skatepark is located just under 2 hours from Melbourne and is well worth adding to the list of parks to visit out that way anytime you're looking for a day trip.
Fairfield skate park is located about 10 minutes south of Brisbane. It's a staple within the Brisbane BMX scene because of the variety the park boasts, there really is something for everyone to ride at this park.
We recently spent the morning riding with Karl Southern hitting a couple of his local parks (Pizzey & Runaway Bay) and boy did he turn it on!
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
