Welcome to the rave cave of Red Bull’s first Mind The Gap comp in Australia.
The party people of Perth swarmed to Barbes Bar in the city and the dance floor turned into a seething battle of the best tricks. The set-up was made of ply from a recently dismantled vert ramp, and Rowan White explained, “You’d drop in through a doorway, duck your head down, roll seven metres, hit a kicker to a two-metre gap, and then have five metres of landing before hitting foam mats in front of the fire escape.”
“Barbes Bar quickly hit capacity at around 8pm,” Rowan continues. “With over 300 people crammed in there – drinks were spilled on the ramp, and a few inevitable collisions went down, but the vibe was incredible. I’m still baffled as to how it all went so smoothly with that many wasted skaters crammed into such a small place.”
