Ben Field

AGE: 19

LIVES: Bensville, NSW

RIDES FOR: Vans [flow], Ace Trucks, Crap247 and Boardworld

This tetanus-inducing stunt was performed out the back of the legendary Marrickville Pork Roll on Ben's lunch break. No microwaved eggs on this particular day, just a rusty drop-in grind and some crackling pork belly to celebrate.
“THERE'S ALL THIS CRAP POURING INTO THE WORLD, ALL THIS BRAIN‘ROT TIKTOK SHIT.”

So, let's start with the obvious – your name is Ben and you're from a place called Bensville, right?

[Laughs]. That's right. I was born there, and I've spent my whole life in Bensville. It's between Gosford and Woy Woy on the Central Coast. It's a pretty small town; there isn't too much going on. There's a little café and a wharf. There's a skatepark pretty close as well.

That park was a bit of a disaster.

Yeah, the council built it themselves, and most of the ramps are bumpy and lumpy. They just recently resurfaced it, though, and it's actually heaps of fun. I try to go all the time just because it's local and it's something to do. It's technically in South Kincumber, though. It's not in Bensville.
