Short Profile: Mike Barnett - 08/07/25

When I first met Mike it was at a little mellow kink rail here in Evansville, Indiana. I remember being blown away at his calm style and ability to negative the hell out of anything. It took him about three tries to get a negative Mizou down the whole kink that day. From that point on I knew he was one of the best rollerbladers in the area, and still remains so to this day. Mike lives every day as if it were his last. His favorite Movie: Cannibal Holocaust.

Mike always throws caution to the wind and is always looking for the next spot to demolish or anything new in the area. He's definitely one of my best friends and will continue to be a big influence on me and many other rollerbladers in the area.
