BIG hART’s Skate of Mind project takes skaters, musicians and artists into regional and remote communities across Australia, delivering workshops and events. The goal is to create dream trips for skaters while offering as much value as possible to the communities they visit – using skateboarding, art and music to change how communities see their young people.

BIG hART secures funding from wherever they can, finds sponsors to give away as much as possible, and takes their portable half-pipe trailer on the road to give the kids a show. 

Funded by the National Foundation for Australia-China Relations.

Supported by NFACR and Future Generations Global.

Next up, they’re taking a bunch of the crew they met in Hong Kong and Shanghai on tour through the Northern Territory with Build Up Skateboarding, and support from Boardworld.
