Shredding hard at Brisbane’s leading indoor skate park (which recently underwent a great upgrade), it’s like Luke is on a mission to show us he can do everything both ways!

Accomplishing more in 1 minute, 11 seconds than most will achieve in a lifetime, the edit leaves you wondering why we don’t see more of this talented Queenslander.

Brisbane Rollerbladers started organically as a Facebook group, where members can post anything rollerblading-related. It is used mostly for local content like potential new spots to skate, skate parks, photos and edits, or even just to say “Hey, I’m rolling tomorrow, who’s keen?”.

It was through the Brisbane Rollerbladers facebook group that the Wednesday night RampAttak sessions first started and popularity continues to grow. Mostly headed by Luke Stonebanks, it has turned into a great mid-week roll for those that don’t get the chance to roll on the weekends. The vibe is ‘all are welcome’, and on any given night anyone from beginners, to some of Brisbane’s best, are likely to show up.

It is a sizable indoor skate park with almost everything you need for a well-rounded roll. Covered in plywood, Ramp Attack is smooth and much more forgiving than concrete. There is always someone up for a game of B.L.A.D.E. or doing some filming, whether it is professional or just using an iPhone.[/vc_column_text][mk_image_slideshow images=”8470,8472,8473″ image_width=”1200″ image_height=”800″ effect=”fade” animation_speed=”700″ slideshow_speed=”7000″ pause_on_hover=”false” smooth_height=”true” direction_nav=”true”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]RampAttak, located at 393 Bilsen Rd, Geebung, is worth traveling the extra mile. It is accessible by train (Sunshine Station) and the Wednesday night session goes from 6pm till 9pm. If you forget to bring a helmet they have some for hire.

Cost $13.50 or $11 for members, with helmet hire $5. Under 18s need to have a consent form filled out by their guardian before they can skate at Ramp Attack for the first time. For more information on RampAttak, see their official website.
