Home News Blade Media News Rob Kellett has been a busy bee the last few years, having released numerous full-length video projects for his sponsors, along with filming and editing for his numerous friend’s videos as well. With all of his productivity, Rob somehow felt amiss in the constant pursuit of progression and achievement. Rob had this to say about the filming process behind “This Town”, and how his approach differed from his previous projects.“This past year has been a blur of skating and filming. Different projects & different chapters… each one quietly pulling me inward, asking what this all really means. At this point, skating isn’t just something I do anymore. It’s stitched into who I am, shaping how I see and move through the world. Skating is a patient teacher… sometimes generous, sometimes confronting. It’s lessons landing when I’m ready. While filming my previous part, “Endless Summer”, I dangled an imaginary carrot in front of myself and chased it relentlessly. Sure, it worked well to fuel motivation… but somewhere along the way came a quiet shift: a realisation that effort doesn’t guarantee outcome. You can give everything and still not arrive where you imagined.Maybe that’s the point. Growth begins when you realise you’ve been measuring the wrong thing. I was tying my love for skating to expectation, and draining the joy from it. The magic was never the result. It’s the sessions with friends. It’s the unrepeatable movements that exist once and never the same again. It’s the way the noise of everyday life fades into the tranquility of the present moment. Lately, I’ve felt a lightness return. A quiet detachment from the pressure I created. It feels good to come back to it. Not chasing, not proving… just moving. While skating might be a great teacher, I’ve always felt truly blessed to have such a beautiful city as my classroom, and such a solid crew of classmates to study this shit with. I’m proud to call this town my home, and energised by what each weekend exploring it might bring. This one’s for the place that’s shaped me the most. Hope y’all enjoy the vibes! The journey continues.”- Rob KellettFOLLOW ROB KELLETT ON INSTAGRAM HERE. Filmed in Brisbane, Australia. Shot by James McErlain. Edited by Rob Kellett.
