“I have known Josh for more than 15 years through our shared involvement in the Victorian Skateboard Association.
Josh was our director who was focused and involved in community engagement for skate park developments, and competitions.
Josh stepped down from our board so he could dedicate his time to the study of architecture, and has recently been involved with some successful and interesting skate park developments.
As an active skateboarder Josh understands what works for the community and what is possible to deliver in terms of skateable infrastructure within varying budgets constraints and locations.”
Bernard Griffiths – Former President of the VSA
“Josh’s knowledge and dedication to the development of positive skateboarding communities spans decades. He understands how skate spaces work and professionally balances the needs of all stakeholders to get the best possible outcome”.
Matty Day – Head Coach at Skate and Create & Skateboard Technical Committee Advisor at Skate Australia.
“Josh Feggans is a talented and widely experienced skatepark designer. Before his active design work, he was providing specific input to new skatepark designs whilst still in the concept stage.
It’s quite possible that he’s ridden and analysed more skate facility layouts than anyone in Australia.
Josh is unique in having a balanced overview of all terrain types from transition to innovative flatland configurations, and always with an eye on safety. He shows good judgement in providing the best possible “bang for your buck” but more importantly, he has a deep understanding of what works in skatepark design.”
Noel Forsyth – MOSS Foundation
Josh Feggans has an extraordinary focus and dedication to bringing social benefits to communities through skatepark designs that provide youth with facilities that will focus their youthful energy into positive outcomes.
Josh is a very genuinely caring and ethical person who spent 15 years developing the Victorian Skateboarding Association’s world leading community & schools programs before putting himself through university to achieve the architecture degree that enables him to make a real meaningful difference to skatepark outcomes across the country.
Josh’s experience and expertise comes from a life lived as a skateboarder and ensures Councils maximise the longevity of community benefit from their investment in wheeled sport infrastructure. For example, the Alice Spings/Mpartwe skatepark design consultation took a whole new direction under Josh’s tutelage resulting in great new opportunities for youth workers to more effectively engage with one of our most challenged youth communities.
