Murray pulls off best trick at Ballito Pro Skate Jam
The cheering crowds certainly added to the vibe and saw skaters go all out.
Some of the country’s best skaters took to the Ballito Bowl recently where they got the chance to showcase their well-honed tricks to a captivated audience for the 2021 Ballito Pro Skate Jam.
One of these was former South Coaster Murray Sharp of Durban, whose parents Wayne and Bev live in Oslo Beach.
Murray was adjudged to have performed the Best Trick and walked away with a handy R2500 prize, useful at Christmas time.
However, the overall winner was Calvin Macmillan, who took home a R7500 cash prize.
“It was a fantastic success for the participants and spectators,” said event organiser and judge, Alan Marola. “This is always a great platform to start young skaters, in a bowl, and all the skaters were ripping it out there. There’s really some amazing talent in South Africa.”
Macmillan (33) has been a competitive skater for a number of years, said it was always great to skate an event that’s well-supported.
“It makes a huge difference when there’s hype from the crowd to push the skaters to their limits during contests.”
