Potentially an unknown skater from the middle of nowhere could come up through the system and end up skating against Pedro Barros, Bucky Lasek, or Rune Glifberg at Vans Bowl-A-Rama™. There has never been an opportunity like this before in Australia, and I think it’s going to be an amazing experience for young skaters and great for the scene,” comments World Vert Champ, Renton Millar.
