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.

Located in between Melbourne and Geelong at the corner of Walkers and Station Lake roads, Lara, the park looks pretty tidy and well worth the drive.

Circolo have been leading the charge since they launched a few years ago and their latest big wheel is the 72mm Paisley Grey (pictured below).
Aussie legends Hayden Golder and Brad Watson recently put the wheels to the test in one of Melbourne’s bowls and have dropped an edit of all thefun.

Hayden has been riding for Remz Australia for a long time and his latest effort is to promote their fresh-looking new skates, the REMZ Nils Jansons 1.5.
Hayden has been on absolute fire in 2015 and this edit, across both park and street, shows exactly why he’s regarded as one of best skaters in the country.

Emerging as arguably the first female aggressive skater from the UK, Logue has a long and illustrious list of accomplishments, from touring the world on the ASA pro tour and the X-Games to starring as a character in 2003’s Rolling video game on Xbox and Playstation 2.
These days, Jenny lives in Melbourne and is one of the biggest supporters of the Aussie scene through her job at leading Australian shop Bayside Blades.
It’s a good day to be alive when you see a new edit from Jenny, such as this latest section filmed in only one day by Brad Watson across several of Melbourne’s best skate parks. More like this please!

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