I’m no longer a student, I’m 40 and I actually enjoy work. At the moment we are in our 6th lockdown in Melbourne and I have to say that it is starting to get tough. I have my morning routine of exercise and caffeine but the one thing that keeps me motivated, the one thing that has kept me positive is this, welcome to my world: Inline Skating. - Joe Stuart.

The theme of the Sony Vlog Challenge 2021 is “Enter my world.”
And it fits perfectly with Rollerblading!

We’re inviting you to give us a glimpse into your world and show us the thing you’re most passionate about. Got something you just can’t live without? Something amazing you want to introduce your viewers to? Whatever it is that makes you tick, we want to hear about it. Take the Sony Vlog Challenge and show us how you express your individuality and pursue your passion, no matter what others think. We can’t wait to see your video—make it unique, make it entertaining, but most of all, make it about something you love.

My name is Cj Wellsmore, I am a 3x World Champion, professional inline skater from Australia. Since the pandemic, all blading competitions and my travels have come to a halt.

That was until I set off on my #DoTheThing Diaries (Down Under) tour and YouTube series (playlist on Youtube). Hitting all the iconic skate parks and mega ramps bringing skaters, mates and the community back together and loving everything I stumble across, whilst getting lost in a good way.

Two months in, my Straya AF van life YouTube series has collectively had over 70k views with new vlogs coming in hot every week. […] More infos and competition on Patreon.
