Plus, the huge seven metre granite-topped wall ride…and, of course, we have hauled out the stairs, one set with a euro gap on approach. There�s a three-to-three double set and an eight set , broken up with hand rails and hubbers.

Battle for Supremacy is the richest skateboard contest for Australasians, offering more than $40,000 in prize money over two competition rounds, with a bonus travel cheque to the overall Title winner.

This round has $20,000 up for grabs and is an invitational format, which means it showcases the 20 gnarliest rippers in Australia skating a euro gap, stairs, marble hubbas and a rail� it’s going to be gnarly. There’s $6K for first, and all skaters get paid.

It�s free to watch…doors open from 3pm during skater practise.
