Announcing the news with a killer new edit filmed and edited by Dom West, the crew from Create Originals are clearly very happy with their latest rider.

Here’s what they had to say:

“Gavin Drumm is a rare talent … he’s been at the forefront of blading for many years.

“Gav has always been known for the savage smoothness in which he executes his tricks.

“He possesses an ever expanding trick vocabulary and his skating is excitingly unpredictable.

“It’s hard to guess what’s coming next, which makes him one of the most compelling bladers to watch.

“We’re proud to finally introduce him to the team ranks. Cheers Gavin and welcome aboard.”

Big congratulations to Gavin Drumm on his latest achievement – it’s truly well deserved!

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

Kal Crew drops awesome park edit from Tom Scofield in his new home in Melbourne

Tom Scofield

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/120527483″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]In 2014 Tom Scofield relocated from Wellington in New Zealand to Melbourne for a change in lifestyle and to experience the Australian rolling scene first hand.

Since his arrival he has seamlessly integrated into the Melbourne Rollerblading crew; the local characters he has watched through Aussie rolling media have now become his close friends, and he has been killing the game.

Since making the move, he’s taking out second place at the 2014 Australian Rolling Open, second at the Victorian Titles at held at his local park in Prahran, and you can see him getting better and better at every session.

Now representing Square Wheels from his homeland of New Zealand, and his new Australian sponsor Velvet Couch Clothing, Tom is a very welcome addition to the family.

Be sure to keep an eye out for his upcoming street edit!

Brisbane’s rollerblading scene is booming: Amazing shots from Wednesday RampAttak sessions

Nat Rawlings

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][mk_image src=”http://www.rollerblading.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Nat-Rawlings.jpg” image_width=”1200″ image_height=”800″ crop=”true” lightbox=”false” frame_style=”simple” target=”_self” caption_location=”inside-image” align=”left” margin_bottom=”25″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]4Sqair Australia’s Nat Rawlings gives rollerblading.com.au the rundown on Brisbane blading scene’s Wednesday night sessions at RampAttak indoor skate park.

Brisbane Rollerbladers started organically as a Facebook group, where members can post anything rollerblading-related. It is used mostly for local content like potential new spots to skate, skate parks, photos and edits, or even just to say “Hey, I’m rolling tomorrow, who’s keen?”.

It was through the Brisbane Rollerbladers facebook group that the Wednesday night RampAttak sessions first started and popularity continues to grow. Mostly headed by Luke Stonebanks, it has turned into a great mid-week roll for those that don’t get the chance to roll on the weekends. The vibe is ‘all are welcome’, and on any given night anyone from beginners, to some of Brisbane’s best, are likely to show up.

It is a sizable indoor skate park with almost everything you need for a well-rounded roll. Covered in plywood, Ramp Attack is smooth and much more forgiving than concrete. There is always someone up for a game of B.L.A.D.E. or doing some filming, whether it is professional or just using an iPhone.[/vc_column_text][mk_image_slideshow images=”8470,8472,8473″ image_width=”1200″ image_height=”800″ effect=”fade” animation_speed=”700″ slideshow_speed=”7000″ pause_on_hover=”false” smooth_height=”true” direction_nav=”true”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]RampAttak, located at 393 Bilsen Rd, Geebung, is worth traveling the extra mile. It is accessible by train (Sunshine Station) and the Wednesday night session goes from 6pm till 9pm. If you forget to bring a helmet they have some for hire.

Cost $13.50 or $11 for members, with helmet hire $5. Under 18s need to have a consent form filled out by their guardian before they can skate at Ramp Attack for the first time. For more information on RampAttak, see their official website.
