As the sun sets and the aroma of Boags XXX dissipates, the shadows grow longer over one of the world’s most ancient pieces of skate terrain. The glorious yet daunting fossil that is the West Hobart Bowl. 2018 marks the 16th anniversary of the annual bowl jam which has become a calendar staple thanks to the McMacken brothers from Jimmy’s skateshop. This year the freshly born Van Diemen’s Skateboards also jumped in the mix alongside Vans and also continuing his history of Tassie love and support Rob Lewers from Concrete Skateparks single handedly funded the cash prizes… This venue and event truly is one of a kind – 2019? Get there!
