Here is what Rob had to say about the weekend:

“James and I made the trip down to Canberra for the 2015 ARO. Turned out to be quite an adventure, with some super sweet deals on return flights, free hotels (buffet breakfast included) and a 3rd Place in the Open Street division!

“It was so good to see the aussie blading family again, and we left with so many good memories! Here’s just a couple of random clips we managed to get of some homies along the way.

“Thanks to everyone who made the Australia Rolling Open 2015 possible, and thanks to all the aussie blading family! Y’all are amazing! Good times, great people.”
