Platform #22 - Martina Svobodova

“For the latest episode of Platform, I speak to one of my favourite female skaters of all time and arguably one of the best female skaters of all time, Martina Svobodova. Despite the fact she quit professional rollerblading over 12 years ago, there are still very few female skaters who can compete with her on handrails and her style and control is awe-inspiring. Martina talks about what it was like living in Philadelphia and skating with some of the scene's most famous faces, being on the Rollerblade team and being paid generously to street skate with her friends, winning the X Games and Gravity Games and earning enough money to buy a home. She also explains about what drove her away from professional skating, her professional golf career, her comeback and her plans for the future.” - David McNamara
