ARO 2015 Vert: Australian legends Shane Yost, Iain Smith and more killing it in Brad Watson’s new edit

Shane Yost

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ESrvCOLWg4″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]You’ll feel like you’re taking a trip back to the golden era of vert rollerblading with this new ARO edit from Brad Watson.

Seeing Shane Yost spin, flip and fly his way to first place is like watching him during his time at the top of the ASA Tour, X-Games and Gravity Games over a decade ago.

A true icon of the rollerblading game, it’s little wonder he came in on top for the second ARO in a row.

Brad himself killed it on his way to second place, with some massive airs and one of the best tricks of the day – a huge backside on the guardrail at the back of the vert ramp with 20 feet of drop behind him (pictured below). Huge!

Iain Smith was also in top form to take out third, with some lofty airs and flips, and stylish and technical grinds.

The edit also features Oliver Czaja, Hayden Golder and more.
