Day three and the last stop of the Lil pros tour kicked off late in the afternoon at Browns Plains Skate Park due to the scorching 40 degree temperature that appeared out of nowhere that day. Again there was another great turn out of Lil pro riders. Due to the competitive nature of all the young Aussie riders a game of bike was played between two teams Dew tour and Fise World, the game lasted for over an hour and was refereed by the Browns Plains legend himself Lanky.
In the end team Fise World won and by then everyone was pumped up to send some of their best tricks. Dustin Grice was in his element filming and encouraging the kids to send tricks for the edit. The session lasted well after the sun went down and
