The 2014 Mandurah Action Sports games will see the Mambo skatepark hold one of the biggest skatepark competitions in Australia. With a $20000 prize purse to share between the large number of pro riders competing in skateboard, scooter and bmx. This is the largest skatepark competition of its kind in Australia. Saturday morning 15th March the bmx qualifying starts. The top ten riders will all receive a placing into the finals on Sunday. The bmx qualifying we be followed by the skateboard qualifying where a jam format will take place to find the top 9 who will again be ready for the skatepark finals on Sunday 16th March.

At 3pm on Saturday with all of the qualifying over it will be time for the skateboarders and the bmxers to start up the halfpipe battle jam. With four rounds to get through is going to be a tough to make it through to the end of the jam. The battle jam is where competitors take turn on the halfpipe and throw down what they have got. The judges decide who is remaining on the top of their game and who is staying the raddest. At the end of each round competitors are dropped with only the raddest remaining to battle on again until a winner is decided. It is real mind blowing action as the competitors, the announcers and the spectators all play a role in the battle jam.

Freestyle Now bmx rider and local, Dylan Schmidt will be returning to defend his win in 2013 in the skatepark competition and see if he can take the win in the halfpipe battle jam, in 2013 he came in second behind Dom Williams who came second behind Dylan in the park competition. Queensland all round good guy Nathan Philps is set to once again to compete in the Mandurah Action Sports Games since he got the all clear from his doctor after his recent knee injury. Also heading over from Queensland is Gold Coast heavy hitter Jack Fahey.
