IMPORTANT: VENUE CHANGED TO RAMPIT SKATEPARK AT 5PM DUE TO WET WEATHER.
The Australian Rollerblading Open is an event that has traditionally moved around the country, and choosing a venue capable of showcasing rolling to its full potential has been an interesting task in the last few years.
Last year we were fortunate enough to have Belconnen skatepark in Canberra to shred like it’s never been shredded, and the year before that in Canberra again at the new Woden outdoor park, and in 2010, Adelaide got a taste of Danny Jensen.
