Australia: All Stars Outlaw & Slam Jam
Photos by Andreas Birkeland & Cat Sweeny
The Australian leg of the world tour is always a big deal for any travelling rider. With fast hills, clean beaches, and a world cup event, it’s hard not to have a good time. In previous years we have hosted two world cups to make the long trip even more worthwhile and exciting.

So I packed a bag with all of my film gear (looking a little like Paris Hilton – just a little) and made my way to YVR to depart.
Coming into San Juan gave a beautiful view of the city. Trees interspersed even in the ‘downtown’ areas. Nothing like Canada/America (at least what I’ve seen). Les picked me up, along with about six other skaters in need of a lift from the airport. Oh, and there were already about five of them in the van. You could imagine 12 skaters, gear, leathers, film equipment, all driven by Rayne’s own broken-wristed chaperone Les Robertson! (more…)
