Full Recap – General Pants BOWL-A-RAMA Bondi 2018

This year's General Pants BOWL-A-RAMA Bondi was full of moments and stories to remember. We watched Keegan Palmer become the first Aussie Pro Division winner since 2005, and he was also the youngest ever at 14 years old. Sabre Norris is a year younger than Keegan, but the Novacastrian floored everyone with her win in the Women's Division, spinning 540s in her first ever major contest. The one-and-only Tony Hawk then delivered arguably his finest BOWL-A-RAMA performance to date in claiming back his Masters crown, while the Juniors proved that the gap between pro and amateur is closing every year.

Where else in the world could you watch the best young up-and-comers skate alongside legends like Bucky Lasek, Rune Glifberg, Pat Ngoho and Tony Hawk? BOWL-A-RAMA 2018 is one we'll be talking about for years to come. Long may it continue.
