Skateboard treat at Dover

KICK FLIPS. Grinds. Ollies.

Skateboarding certainly heated up the Dover, Christ Church basketball court last weekend, forcing several drivers to slow down to get a better glimpse of the feats.

Though the heat was literally turned up on Sunday, it didn’t stop people from coming out in their numbers to witness the sport which is beginning to grow significantly in Barbados.

And no sight was better than that of Simon Joosten here busting big air, after the three-time champ caught an ollie off the A frame for the final time despite surrendering his One Movement Invitational skateboarding title in the process.
