SKATEBOARDER BOHDI SMITH
For seven year-old Largs resident Bohdi Smith, watching TV
is at the bottom of his list of things to do. After completing
his homework he heads down to the local skate park with his
parents to practice his passion – skateboarding – for at least
three hours most days of the week.
The practice paid off recently when he became one of the
youngest sponsored skateboarders in the world.
Bohdi is sponsored by Adelaide based company
Adam Lee Fox Streetwear.
Bodhi’s father Brad is also a long-time keen skateboarder.
“Bohdi has been tagging along to skate parks since he
was three years old and it has become an absolute
obsession for him.”
“Skateboarding is all he does in his spare time, he doesn't want
to watch TV or do anything else other than skate at the park.”
The youngest competition age bracket is Under 12’s and
despite the fact that Bodhi has only just turned seven, he
doesn’t let that hold him back. He is currently ranked third!
Bohdi can often be found practising at Osborne Skate Park,
located next door to Council’s Lefevre Stadium.
Bodhi is always kitted up with safety gear and practising under
the watchful eye of his parents. It’s not uncommon for little
Bodhi to gather a crowd of admirers.
The City of PAE has three skate parks located at Osborne
(Lefevre Skate Park), Regency Park, and Semaphore Foreshore
and Council sponsors some local competitions in conjunction
with youth organisations like YMCA.
