Platform #26 - Ricardo Lino

“Ricardo Lino is living the dream - he has managed to make a career out of skating and he's done it on his own terms. The former pro skater is currently working for Micro Skates and has built up a massive audience with his YouTube Channel, which is bringing in a decent income each month. He also runs two skate shops. As a result, he has been able to employ three people and support countless others. I can personally vouch for the fact that Ricardo wants everyone in blading to succeed because he has helped me out on more than one occasion.

In this episode, Ricardo talks about why he returned to skating, how he grew his channel, criticism he has faced along the way, why he is building his own skatepark, what the future holds for Micro Skates, why it's important to grow skating for everyone and not just himself, and much more. This is our longest episode yet, so if you wanna watch two bald, bearded guys deep dive into geeky aspects of blading, you are in luck!”
