Needless to say, it was the biggest gathering of rollerbladers in the country in 2014 and saw some landmark tricks go down, from the return of the legendary Shane Yost to the vert ramp, to Tristan Richards’ epic double misty on the mega and Rhys Bell’s hammers on the street course (including the picture above, photographed by Craig Richards).[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]If you’d prefer to just check out the results and watch the videos without having to read the full review, it’s all here, including edits by Daniel Talbot, Iain Smith and Alice McTaggart, and photos by Craig Richards.
Rollerblading.com.au was proud to sponsor ARO 2014, big thanks to all the organisers, sponsors and supporters for making it the killer weekend that it was! See you all next year.[/vc_column_text][vc_video title=”ARO 2014 Edit by Daniel Talbot” link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkaDAT6PROw”][mk_fancy_title tag_name=”h2″ style=”true” color=”#393836″ size=”14″ font_weight=”bold” letter_spacing=”0″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″ font_family=”none” align=”left”]AUSTRALIAN ROLLERBLADING OPEN 2014 RESULTS: OPEN STREET, VERT & MINI MEGA[/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Opens Street
