“Cody Lampman released his latest section Ashes earlier in the year and reignited our love affair with his skating. His previous section was over two years ago, the excellent CL, and it still endures as the type of video you can watch again and again. Excited at his triumphant return, we decided to see what he's been doing with himself since his last interview for Wheel Scene in 2014. He talks openly about sobriety, his decision to stop skating for the brands he was associated with and his ongoing travelling adventures.” - David McNamara
Platform #6 - Brian Weis
“Easily one of my favourite skaters from the past ten years, Brian Weis has got a formidable catalogue of sections to his name, including a video he filmed exclusively for Wheel Scene. However, since releasing a VOD part for Vibralux two years ago, the only thing we have seen from him is the odd Instagram clip. I decided to check in and see if there is anything coming that we can look forward to and I was pleasantly surprised to find out there are a couple of things in the works. Until then, find out more about what he's been up to the past couple of years.” - David McNamara
Platform #5 - Jake Dotson
“Jake Dotson reflects on how alcohol and drug addiction derailed a promising blading career and how he overcame them to become sober for over four years now. He also advises what inspired him to pick up his skates again and discusses an exceptional 2020 that has included three full-length street sections, each one even more amazing than the last. His incredibly inspiring story is one of overcoming adversity and finding a way back to something you love.” - David McNamara
Platform #4 - Mason Richard
“It's been over five years since Mason Richard's last full street section, but earlier this year Ant Medina dropped Candy and Mason's ender part proved that he is still one of the best street skaters in the world. We thought it was about time we caught up with the Texas native to find out what he's been doing with himself for the last five years, the inspiration behind his comeback section and his thoughts on the industry both then and now.” - David McNamara
Platform #3 - Stefan Brandow
“For episode three, we decided to check in with one of the hardest working skaters of this generation. Stefan Brandow has produced an insane number of videos over the past decade and they just keep coming. In the past month alone he has released full parts for Chroma and 50-50. Stefan tells us about why he decided to quit the Razors pro team, what happened with Roces, his new pro wheel and frame, and more.." - David McNamara
Platform #2 - Coco Sanchez
“Coco Sanchez has travelled across America, Asia and Europe competing in international events and skating for two of the biggest brands in blading, Rollerblade and Razors. She tells us why she decided to step down from the Rollerblade pro team, the toxic environment at Razors while filming for the female Loca skate and her work with All Wheel Sports. We also discover how she coped with living out of her car and her new nomadic lifestyle spent traveling around the country's skateparks with her boyfriend. Coco is still in her 20s and has already lived a fascinating life so far, and she's only just getting started. If you prefer to listen to our podcast, you can find us on Spotify by searching ‘Platform Wheel Scene’". - David McNamara
Platform #1 - Anthony Medina
“For the first episode of Platform, we decided to speak with Ant Medina about his most recent video Candy, which is dedicated to Keaton Newsom and features some of Texas' best skaters. He tells us how the amazing Mason Richard comeback section came about, what it was like working on the video and his plans for various new projects.” -David McNamara
