Skate park jam-packed with talent

SKATERS and BMX riders gathered in Geelong’s north yesterday for a free competition.

The North Shore Skate Park Jam held single run contests across multiple divisions and age categories.

The Norlane bowl is one of 14 major skate parks across the city — with Geelong hosting more facilities per capita than any other municipality in Australia.

Lara’s Jay Marshal, 18, pictured, was among the competitors yesterday.
