Performers at the skatepark got jumped in Nelson Bay last night by some dropkick

Riot FM has nothing but love for locals, but we can all agree that hitting people in the street is a low act

Always a shame when some idiot sours an otherwise outstanding day

Shout out to everyone in attendance and wishing the very best Port Stephens has to offer to and
