Mitch Thompson was the first Australian to win a downhill World Cup for Australia. Something that had alluded Australian skaters for 20 years. In 2019 he won his home town race Newtons on Mt Panorama. Mitch raced in the USA this season, and was one of the fastest skaters at Maryhill but was unfairly knocked out due to a poor rule interpretation by USA officials. Mitch is one of the racers to watch out for at the WSG, he will be charging fast at the finish line.

Sponsors are 88 Wheels, Rayne, Roja trucks, Basement Skate, Vicious Grip

Zane Bonzer 

Zane Bonzer is the young gun of Australian Downhill. Since a grom he has been competing at events and working his way to the top of the downhill rankings. His break out race was the 2022 Australian Downhill Championships where he was near impossible to beat. His superpower is courage, and he never backs down from a downhill dog fight. Expect to see him shoulder to shoulder at the finish line and not giving an inch!

Sponsors are (Zane said in order) Mum, Landyachtz, Bear, Hawgs and Concretelines skateshop.

Jaydon Howarth

 Jaydon Howarth is the dark horse on the Australian team, even his leathers are darker than everyone else! If you are a top overseas racer from Europe, America or South America, this is the man to keep on your radar. The Mitty understudy...young, big, and fricken fast. Jaydon grew up skating hills like Mt Panorama, so he knows how to skate stealth and avoid trouble.

Graham Brittain

Graham "Grits" Brittain has been a loyal supporter of Australian downhill since the early days of ASRA and the number one luger for almost all that time! Grits is an inspirational racer, always helping other competitors, always contributing to the scene and is the backbone of the Australian team. No other racer has more respect within the Australian team.

He has been training this year on fast Queensland hills, working on his set up and is always competitive when those three starting beeps are heard.  He will be in the mix at WSG, look for the blur of aussie green and gold at Argentina.

Sponsors are Cre8ive Sk8 and Rogers Brothers

Julian Slaney

Julian Slaney has one speed and that is flat out fast. He is the pure racer in the Australian team. When he is not racing on his luge, he racing cars! Expect to see tight racing lines at Argentina, when Julian goes shoulder to shoulder against the best in the world. The one thing you need to know about Julian, he goes into every race expecting to win. He will fight to the last metre and never give up. 

Julian sponsors are Mac's boardshop and Olympus Lawyers

Greg Casey

Greg Casey is a rare breed of inliner that loves going downhill fast on his roller blades. Inline is the dark horse of Australian downhill. Only a few skaters do inline downhill but thousands inline skate recreationally. In the next 8 years inline will be one of the booming parts of downhill. It is already a major part of downhill in regions such as Europe. 

Don't miss out of Greg racing against the world in Argentina. There is amazingly tough competition from all countries including Brazil and Italy.

Nathan Paff is the number one ranked slalom skater on the Australian team. He has an amazing determination and consistently races at all Australian slalom events and has had some hard fought head to head racing against Australia's top slalom skaters Jackson Shapiera, Haggy Strom and Paul Shaddock.

Most active on Facebook

Paul Shaddock is from the heartland of Australian downhill (Central Coast NSW). Always improving on his slalom, always keen to go head to head with the best. Look out for his fast whipping action at Argentina.

Ryan Nichols

Ryan "pickles" Nichols is the Australia's secret weapon in the Giant Slalom. When it is fast and technical, pickles thrives. He placed second in the Spence Ditch race this year, almost knocking Jacko off the top of the podium. Watch out for pickles when the racing turns downhill fast and there is dodging of objects on the road, which is normal skating conditions on the Central Coast! 

Imogen McMillan

Imogen McMillan is from the McMillan slalom dynasty. She practically grew up on a slalom skateboard and has been to more slalom events than most slalom skaters. This is her first international event, and she can finally put her racing skills up against other top female racers. It is only a matter of time before we see Im on an international podium.
