There are two park contests in the Australian rolling scene that have been happening every year for a long time, "The Aussie's" and "The Vics", The Australian Titles being the higher-profile national event that tends to showcase the finest in the country, and the Victorian Titles that hosts the best skating the state of Victoria has to offer, plus whoever else from around the country turns up, and this year was quite an interstate turnout. This tends to be the case these days when it comes to events put on by RollVic, a group of skaters who basically want to see events like these as an opportunity for the sport to grow, for skaters to come together, and for amazing skating to take place. This year's Vic Titles fulfilled exactly those goals, with four of the top five in the Open finals coming other capitol cities.
Danny's not a robot, he can take a fall, but he is a machine that shows no fear. His skating is the sort of skating that will get you the enders for two different montages in Be-Mag's 'Featuring The World' DVD a while back. It's the sort of skating where in a contest if he lands the big trick he's going for it'll win the prize for best trick of the day, and if he has a section in a video it'll be the most talked about section in that video. Not that long ago an edit was shared on the web featuring some old footage of Danny skating in his homeland of New Zealand, and the universally positive response throughout the skating world was a testament to his ability to defy what we've come to expect in a person's skating. He's a stuntman that takes risks, and if the spot doesn't call for a stunt he'll still throw down the hardest tricks he can think of. He won't stop until he's landed them, even with no camera around to capture it. Just be grateful Craig was there to capture this session, at the new Rampit Skatepark in Melbourne. But this is only a minute – he can go all night at this place, or any place for that matter. And then there's his Seven Rats part, which is a whole different ball park...
It’s Friday the 22nd of April, time for the world premiere of Australian DVD ‘Seven Rats’. It was in a dark and filthy cobblestone alleyway right in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD that the red carpet was rolled out for all who attended. The appropriately named ‘Rancho Notorious’ was the venue for the evening. Inside on the first level was an old warehouse converted into a gallery showcasing talented Melbourne artists, but this didn’t take importance away from the bar which was serving the finest local and imported beers, wine, and an enormous cheese platter (real rat food). Like most who attended, Josh Clarke strolled in with his eyes set on the bar. The event and venue was one that Melbourne rollerbladers had not experienced before for a premiere, and everyone knew this meant something special.
The Goulburn Fruit Jam 2011 is heading back to rural NSW, otherwise known as "the outback" this weekend. Rollers from all over Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Tasmania and Queensland are all expected to attend. As well as a number of international skaters who are chilling in Australia as we write this article. Danny Jensen, last years champion is expected back this year to defend his title and his honour. If you didn't see the edit yet, scroll down to see his old footage from 2006 to 2008, it's beastly to say the least.
From Rolling Victoria, the people that brought you the Australian Rolling Open '09 and '10, last year's Goulburn Fruit Jam, and the last few installments of the annual Victorian Titles, this year's event was even more of an interstate affair than it had already become in recent years. In fact an Englishman and a German made up the top 3 in the Open category. People travelled from 6 of the 7 capital cities around Australia to attend a 1 star WRS event that this year returned to Riverslide, a.k.a. "City Park".
Everyone has arrived and the weather has cleared. The box is set up, the rail is set up. The heats are about to get underway in 15 minutes. International skater Matthias Ogger has just signed up. It's set to be a great day! Peep the quick edi...

Be-mag asked me to do a 1 min 1 spot edit, so me, Craig and the crew went to Docklands which is a beautiful Melbourne inner city area to film this edit. I hope you all enjoy the outcome. - Matthias Ogger
