Does anyone know of a good tutorial to achieve this? (as seen here: http://www.contrastrebellion.com/) I\'ve looked at the code used on that site and finding it awkward to pull
You can of course use a simple way like Infra Stank's answer. However if you need a more complex thing to "animate" try jQuery Transe. It is a thorough solution for exactly this problem. You can change almost anything based on the current scroll offset (even CSS3-Transforms and suchlike).
In your case, try something like this:
$('img').transe({
start: 0,
end: 1600,
css: 'transform',
from: 'rotate(0deg)',
to: 'rotate(360deg)'
});

BTW: If you like smooth things, you can include TweenLite with its CSS-Plugin.
First of all, have a look at this site and enjoy the experience. I think you asked for such an experience in your project. At the end of that page you will see a jquery plugin to implement that in your project(site). Hope it solves your problem.
This should get you going in the right direction : http://www.ianlunn.co.uk/blog/code-tutorials/recreate-nikebetterworld-parallax/ .
Here you go :
For animating the rotation on scroll .
http://jsfiddle.net/EnSkJ/2/
Code :
var sdegree = 0;
$(window).scroll(function() {
sdegree ++ ;
sdegree = sdegree + 3 ;
var srotate = "rotate(" + sdegree + "deg)";
$("img").css({"-moz-transform" : srotate, "-webkit-transform" : srotate});
});
