14-year-old wins Mangawhai Bowl Jam

Leigh McKenzie does it single-handed.
Some big air was achieved at the jam.
Taranaki’s Niwa Shewry, 14, stunned crowds with his performance at the 10th annual Mangawhai Bowl Jam this month.
Organiser Jesse Peters says until the open final it appeared a sure thing that Taupo pro-skater Bowman Hansen would dominate with his consistency and effortless style.
But Peters says after a spine-chilling slam, things gelled for Shewry as he linked up a combination of hair-raising tricks, including a kickflip indy followed by a frontside noseblunt.
It earned Shewry top place on the podium, alongside Bowman in second and Raglan’s Tom Mitchell in third.
