SMA is working with our partner destinations to host the Rumble Roadshow, a community outreach project attracting some of the best skateboarders in Australia.

Following the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, interest in skateboarding is at an all-time high. Australia enjoyed its most successful ever Olympic skateboarding campaign with two gold medals and a string of strong results.

There were just 88 spots available for the Paris 2024 Olympics and the Rumble League is unique in that is produced close to 10% of the competitors entering into the Paris Olympic Games for skateboarding.

The Rumble Roadshow activates community skateparks offering demonstrations, signings, coaching sessions and competitions. Two accredited coaches work with local youth keen to learn new skills and the Rumble crew runs an all ages competition including a best trick jam with prizes for skaters who put in extra effort, for entrants improving and for kids who pull off tricks relevant to their level of experience. The event is filmed and the team puts together a package of photos and a video reel of highlights.

SMA Senior Partnerships Manager, Steffan Jurd, said this event came off the back of the ‘Rumble Pro Tour’ – the largest skateboarding tour in the Pacific. “There are various Rumble events throughout the country, as well as the ‘Rumble Am Series’ a national series of events aimed at elite, up and coming, amateur skaters,” Steffan said. “Skateboarding is huge in Australia and destinations are keen to take advantage of this enthusiasm for a sport which is easy for young people to access and enjoy.”
