Matt Mingay was up next on his Harley Davidson motorcycle showing the crowd why he is Australia’s best stunt rider. He didn’t stop there however jumping in the Hitachi drift ute and weaving his way in and around studio seven and eight.

As 7pm rolled around the 600 strong crowd entered the studio to DJ Rockwell blasting out the beats from the suspended stage and flatland BMX rider Simon O’Brien doing his thing in front of the Monster Energy truck.

The food and drinks flowed freely all night thanks to the Bun Mobile, Roamin Pizza, Jack Daniels, Carlton Dry and Monster Energy.

While the crowd mingled around the illuminated furniture and the Jetpilot girls enjoyed the hot tubs the BMX riders got to work on the two hit set up created by Tim Wood.

The guys went big and got the crowd excited with a combination of technical and stylish tricks. The crowd voted that the throwdown champion on the night however went to GC compound local Dale O’Brien, with a massive double backflip off the first hit.

The night finished off in style with Gold Coast DJ’s The Surecut Kids descending from the roof on the suspended stage while breakers skill@will went to work amongst the crowd, getting them excited for the after party at East nightclub which lasted to the early hours of the morning.
