This will be an opportunity for all qualified riders across the globe to add their names to the legendary list of riders who have already been crowned as the World Champion by the ISF since 2011. The park is at Wyatt Park, Lidcombe, Sydney, Australia and is being purpose-built for the 2023 World Championships.

Joe had to earn his spot, by participating and competing in regional competitions recognised by National Governing Bodies.

Joe put the Island on the global map in the growing sport of scootering at the World Skate Games in Argentina last year. In the Junior final Joe just missed out on the medals finishing 4th.

Joe has been involved in the preparations for the new skatepark and pump track hoping to be built in Freshwater. Sadly, due to safety concerns Freshwater skatepark had to be closed earlier this year. Although repairs are being made to get the park open asap it has meant that Joe has had to travel to other parks to train.

When Freshwater skatepark opens again Joe has expressed a wish to offer a workshop to teach local scooter riders new tricks and skills as a way to give back to the community.
