Isle Of Wight Teenage Scooter Star Joe In World Skate Games Fundraiser

A teenage scooter rider from Freshwater is trying to raise funds to travel to South America for a global competition, which begins later this month.

Joe Crocket, 14, has been selected to compete in the World Skate Games in Argentina between October 24 and November 13.

The talented teenager spends most of his spare time riding his scooter at Freshwater Skatepark.

He needs to raise about £5,000 by Thursday (October 6) to compete in the competition, with a GoFundMe page so far bringing in just over a fifth of that amount.

Joe recently came fourth in a national competition and is widely regarded as one of the UK's most promising riders.

Those wanting to help Joe realise his dream can donate to his Go Fund Me page.
