Airborne Blading Academy

Hi,

I'm Demian, head coach and one of the founders of Airborne Blading Academy in Sydney. In March, Skate Australia and legendary Australian skater Sam Fogarty hosted the first qualifying event to represent Australia at the world Skate games in Paraguay for freestyle Rollerblading and two of our team riders Hal and Ari both qualified. Unfortunately Ari is unable to attend this year do to personal reasons but Hal is currently in full training for it. Hal attended last year's event in Japan as well and is placed in the top 12 riders for his age in the world and this year he wants to rise in the rankings and go for the win but getting to these events is all very expensive and at the riders cost. As his coach I'm super proud of him and really want to help make it easier for him and his family to afford to get him there so I've created this go fund me to help with costs which to South America for him and his father are extremely high but totally worth it as he is not only representing himself, his family and Airborne but all of Australia too! Hal has consistently shown and proven at competitions and is currently Australian under 16 champion two years in a row. We totally believe in him and appreciate every donation and kind words. Good luck Hal. You got this!

Long overdue post.... In March .australia and hosted the first ever Australian qualifying event at Prahan skatepark, Melbourne. Weather was absolutely perfect and so was the competition. Australias top skaters and legendary rider joined to make this event one for the history books. It was a special day though for out Airborne youth team riders and who both qualified for the world Skate games in Paraguay in October. What an amazing achievement from the kids and of course a super proud moment for myself as their coach and mentor as we out in a lot of work to get to this point. Hal and Ari are dedicated, resilient and good listeners. We can't wait to see them grow as skaters and congratulate them on this massive achievement.
We're looking forward to the world Skate games later this year which leads me to our next post.....
