Seb Berry (17), Pascal Berry (13) and Jordan Hewes (18) will all be in action for a chance to compete at the Australian Titles at Queensland in early April.
Seb, sponsored by MGP Action Sports and Monster Skate Park in Sydney, is competing in the Opens division and is currently ranked second in NSW and seventh in Australia out of 51 riders.
Jordan, sponsored by Sacrifice Scooters and Engadine Cycles, is competing in the Pro division.
He is ranked fifth in NSW and 18th in Australia out of 44 riders.
Pascal, sponsored by MGP Action Sports and Monster Skate Park Sydney, is currently the top ranked NSW and Australian rider with 18 girls competing.
All three riders train hard which is not as easy in country NSW as at major cities.
They are at a disadvantage to their competitors with not having indoor facilities.
Their competition are able to train day and night, as well as in the 40 degree heat or when it is raining.
It forces the Parkes trio to regularly travel more than five hours to compete.
Parkes also has a fourth very talented rider who competes at a high level.
Ava Hayes (10), is also sponsored by MGP Action Sports, but is unable to attend the NSW titles this weekend.
Seb, Jordan, Pascal and Ava do well to adapt to the competition parks, which are all timber surfaces.
They only get to practice a few hours before a competition and riding a timber park is completely different to riding a concrete park like Parkes Skate Park.
