Three juniors, Absolute (ex), Red r'OWE'ch and Boiii were lucky enough to spend last weekend as members of the "Quad Squad" which is made up of Level 4 (DIV 1) skaters from NSW and ACT.
The teams represented were Little Adelaide Rollers, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, Perth and NSW/ACT.

The skaters had a great time on and off track with many of the teams staying at the same caravan park.
They were also part of a boot camp on the Monday hosted by the VRDL All Stars where they were taught some great moves to improve their game.
Some of the highlights from the weekend were;
* Red collecting commentators choice on the Saturday and the NSW/ACT joint player of the tournament.
* Boiii and Abs filling in for the Perth team on the final day bringing their total games to 5 over the two days.
* The guts of the Tasmanian team who had many small players who showed some great courage against some fierce opponents.
* Watching Jackhammer from Perth tip-toe around the edge of the track despite his size. I had previously watched him online play for the Perth men's team which is no mean feet for a 14 year old.
* The YMCA performed by QLD and many of the other skaters and supporters.
