Freestyle skateboarding lost one of its top skaters in November of 2012.  Enrique “Henry” Candioti was 47 when he passed away after losing his battle with cancer. In his memory, we have created a special award, the HENRY CANDIOTI SKATE4FUN AWARD. This award, including $500 in cash, is presented each year at the World Freestyle Round-Up to the freestyle skater who best embodies skating with style; after all, style is the essence of freestyle, something Henry was famous for.

Past recipients of this award include Takashi Suzuki from Japan, who won the inaugural SKATE4FUN Award in 2014, with Stefan Albert from Germany taking home the honors in 2015. Canada’s own Andy Anderson was the recipient in 2016, and Mike Osterman from the USA won this prestigious award in 2017, followed by China’s Shen Meng in 2018. In 2019 we saw Cristobal Bahamonde, take home this coveted trophy to his homeland of Chile. And this year the 2020 HENRY CANDIOTI SKATE4FUN Award is presented to Josh Dunstone of Australia.

Congratulations Josh. https://youtu.be/xa5NKKU6Zgk
