“A crowd of over 200 turned out to watch the action as winners from the four previous qualifying rounds competed for the title of King of the Hill.
“After wowing judges and the audience of skate and scooter enthusiasts with rad tricks and heart stopping moves, the judges made their selection in each category – for the 2018 King of the Hill.
“The competition is pivotal in bringing young skating and scooter enthusiasts together whilst highlighting the importance of mental health issues in our young people”, he said.
