Blunt Scooters Team Rider Warick Beynon on the Rockstar Energy Tour

During the recent September school holidays in Australia Blunt Scooters Team rider Warick Beynon was invited on a 1,000km tour with the Rockstar Energy team, along with other pro scooter rider Chris Hart, to promote the up and coming Newton's Nation Festival.

Newton's Nation will feature one of the biggest scooter competitions ever run not only in Australia but the world.

Below are some words from Warick reflecting on his great time on the tour.




The tour was spread out over 2 weeks of day in and day out riding, which was a wonderful experience for me. Blunt Scooters gave me an amazing setup with the recently released Ace of Spades decks, new wheels and a whole lot of prizes and give-ways to throw out to the fans that packed the skate parks to see the Rockstar Energy drinks demo team. The tour began in Bondi, one of Australia's most famous beaches and then hit parks all over the state of NSW. The LG tour bus that took us everywhere was awesome and deck out with 4 massive plasma screens, a karaoke machine and a fridge full of Rockstar Energy and other goodies.
Throughout the trip we had some unforgettable experiences and some of the funniest times ever. Wrestling matches with the bmxers, broken hotel doors and almost every places we stayed at giving us our last warning. Not only where the riders and skaters the crazy
ones on the trip, but the Bus drivers Murry and Neal, who are two of the raddest people I know got into the action. Murray had all the wacky moves throwing backies on the bed whilst the fan was going above him, teaching us how to use these chains with fire on the ends of them and Helping getting us all hyped up. Neal was also a filmer and one of the funniest people you could possibly meet.After watching non-stop Travis Pastrana and Twitch dvd's which ampt us all to throw down at every stop. Any skatepark we went to that had a spine James Carter front flipped it, No word of a lie if we told him to try something.. 9 times out of 10 he would do it, no hesitation. Chris Hart threw down at every park with his insane consistency and desire to go bigger every time.


The tour wasn't only scooters riders but also BMX and Skate, however at every Skate Park the largest turnout was no doubt the scooters. To the scooter riders, Chris, James Carter and myself that was huge for our sport and each park set an amazing vibe. During our stop in Orange every newspaper and news reporter in town had rocked up to document the event and the boys were interviewed and filmed. Myself also, and later that night my interviewed aired across the State. Which is awesome exposure for our sport.

As like all tours, it don't go down without hiccups, On the third day of touring our bus broke down and we had to catch the train for 2 hours to reach Glenbrook Skate Park which was around a 30 minute drive away. That afternoon our Rockstar van broke down meaning we had lost a lot of our merchandise and Rockstar supplies, but it was soon fixed and we were on our way again.

The tour was something I'll never forget and has helped promote our sport a lot. The Newtons Nation festival is going to be an amazing event and something I won't be missing. If you want some information on the festival and to download a entry form hit up www.newtonsnation.com.au

Lastly I would just like to send out a big thanks to Rockstar Energy, Newton's Nation, all the riders, the awesome tour crew, Everyone that rocked up to the skate parks to watch, My family who have always supported me and Blunt Scooters for everything, oh..and not forgetting Inside for the write up.


Peace - Warick Beynon.


I'm really stoked for Warick. He's a great rider and I'm really glad he got this opportunity to go on a tour like this. Great exposure for our sport, and I love the piece you wrote about the trip. Wish you nothing but the best Warick!
