By Liza Mohd

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei's skilful skaters gathered at the Lagoon Skate Park in Kampong Pandan, Kuala Belait on Sunday to compete in the Lagoon Skateboard Competition.

The competition was jointly organised by the Youth and Sports Department branch in cooperation with Angkatan Belia Bersatu Mumong (ABBIM).

Present as the chief guest at the competition was Operations Manager at Mahkota Maju Sdn Bhd, Awang Spencer bin Jebat, who also presented prizes to the winners.

Nine male and female skaters showed their skills consisting mainly of two dimensional manoeuvres, high jump, long jump and 360-pivot.

The objectives of the competition were to foster closer relations among skaters in the Belait District and also to enhance the status of the sport among the youth.

Such events could also prevent youth from engaging in self-destructive activities such as drug abuse.

The preliminary round of the competition started in the morning and the final rounds took place in the afternoon.

The competition was divided into two categories, namely beginner and advance.

Special invitations were also extended to 10 skilled skateboarders from Belait, Brunei Muara and Tutong districts to enliven the competition further. The competition ended with a prize presentation ceremony.-- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
