Featuring a huge cast of bladers and bikers from the VC roster alongside a few special guests, it features both park and street skating from countless spots between Brisvegas and the Steel City.

Here is what Gerard from VC Clothing had to say: “We filled up a van and a car and headed down to Newcastle from Brisbane to check out some of the skate parks down there and meet up with some of the Sydney crew. We left at 6pm and arrived at newcastle at 8am, 3 days, 4 parks, street sessions and good times, all on minimal sleep.”

Paulie Haack’s new Velvet Couch Clothing mini profile is anything but small

Paulie Haack

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/124598418″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Brisbane shredder Paulie Haack has just dropped a brand new “mini” edit for his clothing sponsors Velvet Couch Clothing, Razors Australia and 4Sqair.

Showcasing his trademark huge gaps, big spins and technical grinds (and one massive disaster shifty that really needs to be seen to be believed), the edit is nothing short of one of best you’ll see from an Aussie skater this year.

Paulie is on fire on 2015 and is about to embark on a 6-month journey through China to perform an action sports show and compete in the The FISE World Series China in Chengdu.

Stay tuned for a full-length edit dropping very soon. If this is what he calls a “mini” edit, we can’t wait to see what he has in store next!

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/121989651″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]The official video for Red Ledge Rivalry street competition is now online, featuring all the action in Brisbane on the Australia Day weekend.

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.

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.

Skaters include Nat Rawlings, Gerard Ahrens, Luke Stonebanks, Sam Bradley, Jamie Sims, Tom Dobson and Joseph Huxley.[/vc_column_text][mk_image_slideshow images=”8474,8475,8469″ image_width=”800″ image_height=”1200″ effect=”fade” animation_speed=”700″ slideshow_speed=”7000″ pause_on_hover=”false” smooth_height=”true” direction_nav=”true”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
