Held on Easter Monday at the Leeton Regional Skate Park, the championships had a solid number of entrants across its categories on what was a windy and chilly day.
Joel took home the Riggs Cup in fine fashion, showcasing his skill on the skateboard.
The Riverina Skate Championships is one of the longest-running skate championships, according to Nigel Cameron, who has been involved from the beginning.
The Riggs Cup is named after the late Richie O'Hara, who died at a young age, but whose name still lives on through the competition.
Organisers said they were pleased with how the 2023 event went and are looking forward next year.
The Rapid Relief Team also provided lunch for participants on the day, with the Boys to the Bush group on hand to deliver the food to provide plenty of sustenance for the competition.
