Rob Ferendo
1987 World Dance Champion
What has life been like for Rob Ferendo after your artistic roller skating days?
I was ready to retire from rollers after ’87 Worlds, feeling I had accomplished what I set out to do. Up until that point, I had never felt "finished" at the end of a season.

After I left skating, I went into advertising. I've been doing that for almost 20 years now, having worked all over the world and done some fun campaigns. I've been on sabbatical working on a book, and hope to get it published and go back to work next year.

A Year in the Life of CanAm … 2004
Enjoy our new video series 'A Year in the Life of CanAm' where we feature a little snippet of behind the scenes activities our members have experienced alone or together during their time as CanAm. There was a time when one of the CanAm members took a slight break from skating and spent time in a different scene. This experience led to a lot of the creative ideas that came to fruition with many CanAm online projects. Our introduction video to this series is from the year 2004.
CanAm Request: Your Action Photos
We are looking for skating action shots or photos at competitions of current skaters to be used in the next edition of our I AM video series. Please send these photos to iamphotos@canamcrew.com Spread the word.
Something’s cooking!
Something's definitely cooking in the CanAm kitchen! Here at CanAm we have overheard one of the CanAm members discussing what sounds like a new project. Definitely sounds like something BIG. Even we're being kept in the dark!! We'd love to know if this and the spray painted "OL" that has been popping up on CanAm items lately are related!
