Mind the Gap will be held in the city centre of Rotterdam. For one day all cars are banned from the city. During this day the city will be filled with lots of events, including Hollands biggest Rollerblade contest: MIND the GAP. Several international rollerbladers are invited and they will compete with Holland’s best rollerbladers who qualified throughout the finals of Streetmasters!

Concept
The skaters will use the special developed SB-JumpMobile to clear the gap.
This gap starts at 3 meters wide and will increase every round.
Round two: 4 meters gap, 4 skaters and 2 runs.
Final round: 5 meters gap, 5 skaters and 5 runs.
After clearing the gap the next obstacle is a 6-meter long grindbar going up.
The last trick will be done on the same grindbar but grinding it down. So one run will exist of 3 tricks and will be judged by 3 judges.
Between the gap, on the wheels of steel, DJ Irie: 4 times DMC Champ (02,) and second place at the Battle for World Supremacy (London). Check -> www.dj-irie.com
