Anthony Finocchiaro was there to capture CJ Wellsmore, Manon Derrien, Pierre Lelièvre, Antony Pottier and Pascal Morasse-Raymond’s adventures at the first stop of the SEBA Street Summer Tour at France’s biggest action sports event.

Here is what Pascal had to say:

“For a Inline skaters, there’s isn’t much that can beat touring a country with some of the best skaters in the world, skating some of the best parks of Europe. “Luckily, I have the great opportunity to do just that. I landed in Paris on the 13th of may and met with CJ Wellsmore and Anthony Finocchiaro. A few minutes later we were heading for a 7 hours trip to Montpellier to participate in the FISE.

“Montpellier is a very charming city and during the FISE it’s also host of one of the biggest party I’ve seen in my life. The second day we we’re joined by Manon Derrien, Pierre Lelièvre and Antony Pottier to complete the lineup for the tour. I had the chance to be commenting on the live stream for all the rollerblading events during the festivities. It’s a great experience to be part of such a massive event.

“CJ Wellsmore managed to get 4th place during the park contest followed by Pottier in 5th. After those 4 days of intense partying and skating, we took a rest at Hadrien Bastouil’s place on the last night and headed to Marseille the next morning.”

Stay tuned for Episode #2!

While he’s had a few breaks here and there, he is still skating hard and fast well into his 30s and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Rollerblading.com.au caught up with Levi recently to find out more about this legend of the Brissie rolling scene.

“I remember getting my first set of blades off of my uncle at 5 years old. They were fluoro yellow with black laces,” he says. “I skated agressively as a teen in highschool from about 1997. I stopped skating in 2004 when I had my first child and did not take it back up until 2009. Since 2009, I have been skating with mates such as Peter Ball, Gerad Ahearns and the VC Crew, Dale Travers, Nat Rawlings, Lance Newell and OG Brisbane skaters. I don’t have any sponsors, but I get some support from Gerard at VC Clothing.”[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D28YMJd9cc4″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Well-known for his trademark steezed out sweatstances, high-speed backside shifties and big airs and spins, Levi has enjoyed success in a series of competitions over the years, including Best Trick at Right 2 Roll 2013, 1st at the Deagon Flow Comp in 2011 and 3rd in the OG section of the Queensland Titles in 2015.

When Levi isn’t down his local park, riding motorcycles or working on cars, Levi is doing the “whole dad/kids/school thing”.

“I was a full-time gyprock plaster board fixer for over 15 years,” he says. “I stopped full-time work for about 2 years now and I’m looking after my children while my partner furthers her education and career. I have a big combined family with 7 children and find it hard to skate as much as I used to, but when I do, I shred to my fullest potential … hard and fast.

“I always try and find time to have a sesh at my local skate park in Morayfield, which has always been my home turf. I also like to hit up RampAttak on a Wednesday night to catch up with the boys and have a skate. I would like to get out and skate more and film a proper section, but really finding it hard … it’s a work in progress.”[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOBHBYzt8ug”][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h2″ style=”true” color=”#393836″ size=”14″ font_weight=”bold” letter_spacing=”0″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”12″ font_family=”none” align=”left”]LATEST NEWS[/mk_fancy_title][mk_blog_carousel post_type=”post” view_all=”*” count=”10″ enable_excerpt=”false” offset=”0″ order=”DESC” orderby=”date” posts=”8364,8916,8596,8562,8421,8540,9108″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Tom Scofield is on fire in his new Melbourne Street Edit 2015 by Thomas Dalbis

Tom Scofield

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/133134529″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]New Zealand import Tom Scofield continues to go from strength-to-strength in 2015, with another killer edit dropping this week courtesy of Kal Crew’s Thomas Dalbis.

Tom, or “Scowie” as he has become known since moving across the ditch, has only been in Australia less than 12 months, but is already become one of the Australian rolling scene’s most talented and respected skaters, with a down-to-earth attitude to match.

He is dangerous in competitions, placing second in the Australian Rolling Open in 2014 (only days after he arrived in Australia), alongside second in last year’s Vic Titles and Best Trick at the Queensland Titles 2015.

This latest edit, however, is all about the street, with a smooth and technical style punctuated by some serious hammers. Based on this edit alone, it’s not hard to see why he’s earned his official place on the Razors Australia team.

Veteran skater Paul Wicke (36) celebrates 10 years of rollerblading in Canberra

Paul Wicke Canberra

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/132626067″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Canberra veteran Paul Wicke has just dropped an amazing new edit featuring 10 years of skating in Australia’s capital city.

Unfortunately it’s not all reason to celebrate, with the edit prompted by a severe injury to 36-year-old’s knee a few months back, meaning he may never be able to skate again.

Here is what Paul had to say: “After severely injuring my knee a few months back and being uncertain if I could/would skate again, I decided to put together some clips from my time skating in Canberra since moving here 10 years ago. Hopefully ill be able to add to it again in the future as the mind is still willing. I just have to wait for the body to catch back up again.”

Featuring hammer after hammer from the days of baggy jeans right through to now, we definitely hope this isn’t the last the world of rollerblading has seen from Paul Wicke.

Good luck with your recovery Paul, we hope to see you on the roll again!
