Tom Scofield is on fire in his new Melbourne Street Edit 2015 by Thomas Dalbis

Tom Scofield

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/133134529″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]New Zealand import Tom Scofield continues to go from strength-to-strength in 2015, with another killer edit dropping this week courtesy of Kal Crew’s Thomas Dalbis.

Tom, or “Scowie” as he has become known since moving across the ditch, has only been in Australia less than 12 months, but is already become one of the Australian rolling scene’s most talented and respected skaters, with a down-to-earth attitude to match.

He is dangerous in competitions, placing second in the Australian Rolling Open in 2014 (only days after he arrived in Australia), alongside second in last year’s Vic Titles and Best Trick at the Queensland Titles 2015.

This latest edit, however, is all about the street, with a smooth and technical style punctuated by some serious hammers. Based on this edit alone, it’s not hard to see why he’s earned his official place on the Razors Australia team.

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyhJVOZCyJc”][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]Jenny Logue is one of the longest-standing and most influential skaters on the global rollerblading scene.

Emerging as arguably the first female aggressive skater from the UK, Logue has a long and illustrious list of accomplishments, from touring the world on the ASA pro tour and the X-Games to starring as a character in 2003’s Rolling video game on Xbox and Playstation 2.

These days, Jenny lives in Melbourne and is one of the biggest supporters of the Aussie scene through her job at leading Australian shop Bayside Blades.
