“I’d love to write a big spiel about these clips, because 2022 was a wild one ; but truth be told I don’t really know where to begin. A lot of big changes in my personal life; with a fair share of heart warming moments, balanced out by some stressful heart-wrenching ones”.
“This video is purely a collection of loose clips I’ve collected throughout 2022. Most of which were on the backside of an injury, or me just coming out of those post injury spooks”.
“My skating in 2022 felt very stop-starty… just when I would find a rhythm, I’d get injured; mostly because my mind was probably elsewhere. I put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself to skate a certain way, or at a certain level, only to find that treating skating like that left me feeling nothing but down when I couldn’t perform to my own expectations; or frustrated I couldn’t perform for the fleeting moments an opportunity to actually get a clip would arise.
In a weird full circle, I ended the year with the same outlook on skating that I started with - there’s literally no pressure to be anything but myself. It’s fun. It’s creative. It’s pure freedom. I can do it any way I want to, and it’s exactly how I make it… a vision, that I sadly lost somewhere throughout 2022. Depressive mindset’s suck. Sometimes putting pressure on yourself is healthy, but sometimes, it really isn’t.
Here’s to having more fun skating, with less pressure in 2023”. - Rob Kellett.

"Phil Moss and I were lucky enough to be sent out a pair of the new Remedyz skates to test out a few weeks before the official release. So, Phil made the trip up to sunny Brisbane for a few days of filming and good times. A huge shoutout to Remz Australia for their continued support!" - Robert Kellett.

I had a problem with my right shoulder and had surgery in February. Rehabilitation was a very very hard and long journey, but I was able to overcome it with the support of my friends and family. I’m also grateful that I came back here again. It was my first Sydney. I’m proud to have done this with Karsten Boysen and Dom West. Great cityscape matches their beautiful camera work. Big Arigato! - Yuto Goto.

Filmed over 5 days across Brisbane & Sydney. The motivation was to stack clips by hitting as many spots as possible each day. Massive thanks to Phil Moss for hosting me in Sydney. Shout out to the boys who filmed or encouraged me during the sessions. I hope you enjoy! - James Mcerlain.

Well, where to begin… after 9 years of riding on the Remz Australia team, I feel it’s finally time to move on. I’d like to thank Remz Australia and Reds Distribution for their continued support over the years. Having your support from a young age in my skating career has given me motivation, self belief and drive to push harder and better myself in all aspects of my skating. I am forever grateful for all the skates you’ve sent me over the years, each of which house a lot of great memories skating with my friends in various places of the world.
To take a final look back, I’ve put together this video featuring some of my favourite clips over the years. Some because of the tricks themselves, others because of the the filming or the memories associated with that moment in time. I hope y’all enjoy this one! Here’s to the future! New horizons, wherever they may lead! Peace & Love y’all! - Rob Kellett.
