Platform Platform - A Wheel Scene Podcast

Seattle resident Alex Same talks to us about being part of the excellent Chance of Rain video series that was created by Carter le Blank and Derek Brown. He also discusses what it was like working on Illegal Smiles with Josiah Blee, Jake Dotson and the rest of his highly skilled crew. In addition to this, we chat about how he got hooked up with Deal With It SF, TNEC and most recently Blank.

Alex has a very interesting approach to skating. The majority of the spots he is interested in are not your typical session obstacles, but one-hit wonders that you get one trick on and then you move on. In many cases, just rolling away from the spot is good enough because he regularly takes on rough, nasty, unforgiving and downright scary setups...and he seems to thrive on it!

Heath Burley talks to us about the best show in blading, which is of course Jumbo! He also discusses his recent visit Winterclash and Barcelona, and why he wasn't a fan of one of Europe's most famous cities for rollerblading. He also expresses his views on tricks which he believes should be illegal and his thoughts on the current state of rollerblading. He explains some of his biggest slams caught on camera...and there have been a few! Basically, we cover a lot of topics and it was a lot of fun to talk to the guy. Still can't believe he shaved off his moustache on camera!

It took almost a year, but I finally managed to get Scott Quinn back on to finish the episode of Platform podcast that was interrupted due to the internet elves wreaking havoc with our connection. It turns out time difference, family life and work commitments can make arranging a time when we're both free for a couple of hours very difficult.

We picked up where we left off, talking about 8Set, last year's CPH Open and this year's event, how life has changed for him now that he lives in Denmark, his plans for the future and loads of other topics.
