This edition of Bright was a step forward to a better skate/street focused show and felt like a return to what it stands for. The middle of the hall was dominated by a skateable area that brought the action and vibe back and many of the booths had skateboards on their walls, like they used too. The standardised booth design of matt black with logos and simple graphics with racking brought a real back-to-the-roots feel. Rather then trying to become similar to SEEK the show has really differentiated itself. Hopefully this new approach will bring more skate and street brands back for the summer.
