Returning: Smashhdown!

Brissy-produced 9GO! kid’s competition Smashhdown! has now returned, with a new host, Nick Allen-Ducat (Nova Brisbane, Hit Newcastle) replacing Andy Sunderland.

The show involves kids competing on an obstacle course in a quest to become “Australia’s No.1 junior all-rounder.”

“In this series we head north, south, east and west, and visit some super-sporty professionals to give us the tips and tricks of good sportsmanship and skill,” Nick said.

“I’m looking forward to watching some of the most talented young sporting competitors Australia has to offer. Claiming that champion’s title won’t be an easy feat, but we know Aussie kids have what it takes.”

Returning to commentate are Glen and Glenda Goosebump, also known as actors Michael Balk and Briana Goodchild.

“It’s always great to have a front-row seat to the organised chaos of the Smashhdown! Stadium,” said Michael Balk. “But in this series Glen and Glenda get out from behind the commentary desk and visit the junior sporting clubs of Australia.”

“We also have a great time with themed episodes,” Briana added. “After all, there’s nothing the Goosebumps like more than throwing themselves into costumes from around the world to show our Smashhdown! Spirit.”

The second series of Nine’s fun-filled, fast-paced sporting game show for kids comes from the action-packed Smashhdown! Stadium, which has been revamped and refreshed with new challenges, an epic obstacle course, and more thrill-seeking kid-competitors pushing their bodies to the limit to claim the title.

From an ultrasonic wind chamber to super-stretchy bungee cords and a giant ball pit with over 20,000 balls, our smashing stars will be put to the ultimate test.

Weekdays at 8.00am on 9GO!
