Stiff competition from close friend and recent FISE winner Joe Atkinson and boy wonder Nicolas Servy meant that CJ didn’t make it three years in a row in the top spot, but he put in a mighty showing none-the-less.

Congrats to CJ and all the winners!

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPc4DHTgmuk”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Denmark’s Roskilde is the biggest festival in Northern Europe, hosting 160,000 people and 180 bands/artists (!!!) over four days.

Rollerblading is always an integral part of the extreme sport section of the event, with always a huge turn-out from some of the world’s best skaters.

Last year, Sydney’s Josh Nielsen managed to make his way to the event. While it’s a little late, an edit from Thisissoul has just popped up featuring Mr Nielsen shredding the park alongside names like Montre Livingston, Dave Lang, Dominik Wagner, Scott Quinn, Eito Yasutoko, Jeremy Suarez, Maxime Genoud, Richie Eisler and more.

Roskilde returns for another big year from June 27-July 4.

Despite the threat of rain and thunderstorms hanging over all day, the event was a massive success, with a huge cast of rollers from both Queensland and around the country in attendance.

Big ups to Nat Rawlings from 4Sqair Australia and all the crew who made the day happen!

The long-awaited video for The Joint Tour is available to purchase now on Sellfy.com

The Joint Tour

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/123833560″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]The long-awaited video for The Joint Tour is now available for purchase at Sellfy.com for the dirt cheap price of only $2.99 AUD.

Starring Martin Gade, Chris Pullar, FX Levieux, Rob Ham, JB Gammagnac and Thomas Dalbis, alongside many skaters that “joined” along the way, The Joint Tour Movie is a 68 minute film that documents a 5 week rollerblading adventure during the European summer of 2014.

The tour covered more than 8,000 kms, beginning the journey at the Bling Bling street contest in Nantes, France and finished in Switzerland where the infamous High In The Park contest happened in Bulle.

It was the biggest skating adventure any of the crew had ever experienced and demonstrated the universal open-door policy that the world-wide rollerblading community is known for.

A tour like this would not have been possible without the positive attitudes of many. You will see these positive vibes shine through in the film that documented the adventure from beginning to end.

The movie features park and street sections, lifestyle sections as well as interviews with the skaters present on tour.

Alongside the six Aussie and French skaters on the tour, the film, directed by Thomas Dalbis, also features Julien Cudot, Michel Prados, Carlos Bernal, Roman Abrate, Daniel Skerzn, Jeremy Dalbis, Josh Nielsen, Hadrien Bastouille, Fredje Vanovertveldt, Chris Smith, Mathieu Heinemann, Greg Breger, Damien Gerard, Diego Luppi and many, many more.

With most VOD sections charging a premium for only a few short minutes, it’s refreshing to see such a long film for less than the cost of a beer down the pub!

Presented by 4Sqair Australia, the event was the biggest gathering of bladers in Brisbane anyone has seen in a long time and by all accounts, one of the best days out in Queensland in recent memory.

The Victorian visitors definitely made their presence felt, with Melbourne-based, Danish import Martin Gade taking out the Open Street, while Hayden Golder was on fire to win both the Over-30s and Spine Jam. Nick Thorne took out the Under-18s, while Tommy Scofield‘s huge soyale along the entire rollercoaster to 720 out rightfully earned him the VC Best Trick award.[/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcyMUOdl6k”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]FULL RESULTS

Sponsored by 4Sqair Australia, Seba, VC Clothing and Brisbane Rollerbladers, the day served as a fundraiser for the upcoming Queensland Titles 2015 on April 4 at Fairfield Skate Park – as well as a fun day out for the Brissie rolling scene.

Paulie Haack took out the Open section, while Tom Dobson ripped in the Under-20s and Chris Morris No.1 in the Over-30s.

Big shout outs to Nat Rawlings for organising the day, Roger Cole and Luke Trounce on MC duties and of course, all the skaters on the day.

CJ Wellsmore wasn’t at Winterclash in The Netherlands this year … or was he?

Last year’s Winterclash champion CJ Wellsmore didn’t make the event in 2015, but his presence was certainly felt.

Much like the crew of Richie Eisler impersonators last year, a group of fans took it upon themselves to ensure CJ still was a feature at the event, if only in spirit.

This year, David Sizemore took out the Pro Final ahead of Anthony Pottier and Nick Lomax, with Joe Atkinson taking out the USD Best Trick contest with a killer 360 fishbrain over the door to 270 cess slide.

Check out the archive of Locoskates’ livestream of the Pro qualifiers and finals below, plus full Top.10 results.
