July 10th, 2012 at 2:09 pm

Nice try
July 10th, 2012 at 2:58 pm

July 10th, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Rob always looks for the biggest gap or highest drop!!!
Rob = balls of steel!!
Rob get well soon man!!
July 10th, 2012 at 4:07 pm
Taig world record beaten!
July 10th, 2012 at 5:03 pm
to the Taig haters: this drop is at least 1/4 the Taig’s one…
July 10th, 2012 at 5:40 pm
Taïg is laughing in front of the screen… Period… Dick suckers
July 10th, 2012 at 6:36 pm
sam tuffnel ;-)
July 10th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Never without a Best Trick prize or a hospital trip that boy
July 10th, 2012 at 11:47 pm
OOOOOO Taig Chris full body armour, crash pads. massive show of things and doesn’t show our sport for what we really do.
Rob, just a helmet and real ramps nuff said. He has always gone big and has never been given the recognition that he deserves. Full respect to Rob and get well soon.
July 11th, 2012 at 12:11 am
rob needs more recognition hes always going big and hes a sound guy too
July 11th, 2012 at 1:25 am
sam tuffnell tried it nass 2008 watch it on youtube thats 2 victims the raffter drop has claimed
July 11th, 2012 at 4:33 am
Hope he gets well soon. Didn’t look so hot in the stretcher tho. All best on a quick recovery. Serious attempts there, much respect.
July 11th, 2012 at 10:22 am
Tufnell did this 2/3 years ago.
Pruett has no trick vocab at all apart from sh*tty flips and coping tricks.
Worst skater of all time to watch, so predictable. Never lands any of the ‘crazy’ things he tries either.
Watch a street edit of him in Liverpool on YouTube, it is very laughable.
July 11th, 2012 at 11:19 am
Haha dont normally get involved but ok haha here goes, ben to a certain degree you’re right ben ! my trick vocabulary atm is limited to how it was due to the nature of my job i cant fully push myself and get out as much as i like to showcase any street etc i want to do so good observation ben :-). only thing im gonna correct you on is that I have landed numerous gaps over the years and also other tricks over the years. i did like how u tlk about flips i only do one now and again .also new street edit soon , that ones about 5 or six years dated. if this is Ben and i no you why try so hard to hate mate if i have offended you in the past i appologise anyhows cheers for the support off everyone take note wear a helmet when competing !!!
And for the record Sam tuffnell did it from the other side into a elvis ramp which is mental!!! kinda inspired me to do it that and i no Richard taylor was watching me anyways cheers guys
rob p p.s im welsh so sorry about my punctuation
July 11th, 2012 at 12:44 pm
This is bloody sick. Just for the record, Tuffnells drop was a fair bit higher because the elvis ramp that he dropped into was not raised off the floor on a platform.
July 12th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
update: video of the slam.
July 12th, 2012 at 2:30 pm
Rob very well said! as people have stated sam has also tried and failed this kinda drop. ok so it was in to a elvis ramp but just as high! so NASS 2013!!! Rob n Sam head to head first one to get it wins best trick ;-)
July 12th, 2012 at 2:33 pm
main man ate shit
July 12th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
they already get best trick in my book lol
July 12th, 2012 at 6:57 pm
too much negativity here…fact is theres not many people with the cohones to do a drop like that.
July 12th, 2012 at 7:22 pm
CARLOS PIANOWSKI FAKE BACK FLIP THAT BITCH
July 12th, 2012 at 10:25 pm
Somehow I feel cohones is misused here…I’d rather say overestimation of some kind and a great deal of egotism (is that a word I can use?)…not judging, just assuming, could be wrong obviously, but from what I’ve seen from him I think this is a pretty good guess.
I wish him a good recovery of course!
July 12th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
‘the m’ egotism?? FUCKKK OFFF. You obviously don’t know Rob. Ego does not come into it at all. Rob skates for the love no ego involved.
Also that ^ isn’t the real Ben Shelbourne for shit..There has been someone impesonating him for ages.
Anyone who doesn’t respect that effort is a fool.
Would love to see some of you even think of trying that.
Props Rob you deserve alot more credit and respect your smashing it!
July 12th, 2012 at 10:33 pm
I heard ben shelbourne takes it deep up the shitter off big fat al morris while little rent boy craig harrison watched
July 13th, 2012 at 12:54 am
Helmets don’t help your fucking face.
July 13th, 2012 at 12:55 am
Also “cohones” is spelled like this: CAJONES.
July 13th, 2012 at 2:14 am
suck a dick, people
July 13th, 2012 at 10:01 am
such a poor community in here. its a shame.
July 13th, 2012 at 11:32 am
when are rollerbladers going to learn that their spandley little legs cannot handle the pressure that they intend them to cope with. its actually funny to watch. they just hope for the best that they will magically roll away and don’t even stop to consider.
July 13th, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Im really not commenting on any rollernews feeds. The ‘REAL Ben Shelbourne’ is not the real Ben Shelbourne. Anyone who pays attention to rollernews comments and actually answers them isn’t what I would consider a legitimate skater. This is boring now.
July 13th, 2012 at 8:54 pm
The truth you know nothing Al only bums me and also I sucked so many dicks to get where I am I should have a pro cock sucker sponsership I love it I suck so many balls everyone lives me I’m well cool
