Platform #25 - Philip Moore

“Philip Moore, former Blading Cup winner and integral member of the notorious JSF crew, talks politics, that infamous Josh Petty episode of Jump Street, promoting inclusivity in blading, plans for the future with Rollerblade and Sic Urethane...and there is a lot of talk about dogs! I have no idea why I keep saying Philip lived San Francisco in the intro because I know full well they lived in Oakland! I'm putting it down to lack of sleep.” - David McNamara

Blader Union is proud to sponsor the Platform podcast.
