Meet Taj Shambrook: ISF Junior World Champion 2023!

Welcome to the electrifying world of Taj Shambrook, the reigning ISF Junior World Champion in the heart-pounding realm of freestyle scooter riding and emerging social media star.

Taj isn't your run-of-the-mill rider; he's the real deal, and he proved it in spectacular fashion by clinching the World Champion title at the ISF World Championships in Sydney, Australia, in October 2023. His victory wasn't just a win; it was an absolute domination!

Picture this: finals day was an inferno, packed with international talent and a blazing Sydney sun. Taj was on fire, notching a jaw-dropping 88.33 points. He didn't just outshine his fellow junior riders; he left the Men's Pro section trailing by a solid 5 points! That's what we call a victory of epic proportions.

Now, let's talk tricks because Taj stuffed an insane number of them into his one-minute World's winning run. In just sixty seconds, he unleashed a whirlwind of clean moves sending a 360 Bar Whip Bar Bar, T-Bog Bar, Flair Bri Whip, Back Lip, Quad Whip, Heal Whip, Feeble, Back Flip Whip Rewind Kickless Double Whip, Double Whip Butter, Flair Heel Rewind Late, Bar Bar Feeble Bar, Back Flip, Tail Whip, Bar Feeble, Double Finger Whip, Inward Cup, Feeble Bar, Inward, and a cheeky Bar Spin in the final second to max out his ranking. That's a trick every three seconds!

But Taj's journey is more than just tricks; it's a tale of heart and dedication. He knows this well and made sure to celebrate with his support team including mum Cindy, his coach Jeremy Merrin, his sponsors, and his friends after his epic performance.
