“Our sport has a history now, and a lot of the skating originated here.”

This time we take a look at the rich history of the Australian rollerblading scene through the eyes of Jon Julio, the sport’s longest standing professional athlete and most respected industry leader. Through his connection to the Australian scene in the early 90s, Jon sheds light on the country's unique influence during the sport's founding years and the importance of the leaders from rollerblading's past in 2019.

“Without our history, we don’t have a foundation, and these skaters are our foundation.”

Special thanks to Scott Crawford for organising the ‘Manly OG Skate Jam’ - 2020 event details coming soon.
