The latest guest on Platform Podcast is my favourite Razors Australia rider, Martin Gade...who is actually from Denmark. Don't worry, all will be explained in the podcast! Martin talks about moving down under and his decision to stay there permanently and gain citizenship. He also discusses two of his amazing sections, Boundaries and 4DaLove. Not only that, we talk about the skate school he is running in Melbourne that is cultivating the next generation of aggressive skaters in Australia. We also grom out on John Bolino, talk injuries and much, much more.

England to Australia transplant Dan Robinson talks about his reasons behind relocating to the other side of the world, how he got hooked up with TNEC and Red Eye Wheel Co, his constant drive to put out regular sections, stay active on social media and attend events around the world. He also voices his opinions on the current state of rollerblading, offers up some stories from his various adventures and advises what we can expect from him in the future.If you want to support this channel, join the Wheel Scene Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/c/wheelscene

TNEC owner Duran Bickmore was a guest on episode 74 of Platform podcast and I enjoyed it so much I've had him a back on a couple of times. The last one was a Patreon exclusive chat, but this time I wanted to see how he was doing now he is back on skates after breaking his ankle, find out a little more about TNEC's team, which has grown quite a bit in the past 12 months, and he completely blindsided me by showing off the new UFS boot he is working on. We also talk about a bunch of industry stuff and he offers a refreshingly transparent insight into how his business is going, the number of sales and trends he is witnessing as a shop owner and company owner.

Billy Murton recently dropped a new section for Blank and, in the process, put himself on the injury list with a nasty break. He talks about filming for the part, how he got hurt, and talks about getting on Blank, having a section in Plastic Pushers 4, filming for What's Brewing, his extensive collection of rollerblading memorabilia and more.

Brandon Bobadilla has impressive sections in the Anthony Medina videos Candy and Ends, and he recently released a new section for Blank called Rookie Season, so it felt like the perfect time to get him on the podcast and have a chat. He talks about how he discovered rollerblading, why he essentially skated on his own for the first five years, his first street sessions with other rollerbladers, filming for Candy and Ends, how he got on Blank and what it's been like living out of a van in recent years.

We also delve into lots of other things, including rollerblading fashion and nostalgia, teams, trends within the sport, injuries, plans for the future and much, much more.
