Mad Beef #191 - No Cliff Jump, No Cred (Draft Novel Excerpt)

"In this episode I share another little excerpt from my work in progress. Let me know what you think! I’m working on a literary fiction novel about rollerblading with the working title ‘Fruitbooters: a rollerblading novel’, and am looking for help to set aside the time to get it done quickly and properly. It’s one small contribution towards building the ‘cultural capital’ of rollerblading.”
- Mikey Lynch

Platform #40 - Matty Vella

“Matty Vella is one of my favourite skaters in the UK and I am massive fan of his style and trick selection. I invited him up to film for the first Wheel Scene video about four years ago and we've been good friends ever since. Anyone who has spent time with Matty knows that he has a great sense of humour, doesn't take himself too seriously and knows how to have a good time. Matty talks to us about the various projects he's been involved with this year, including helping Alex Burston build SK Skatepark, doing lessons at various skateparks and working on an upcoming Manchestuhhh project. He also talks about getting on USD Skates and BHC Wheels, what it was like hanging out with Bobi Spassov for the first time, his current injury that he's struggling with and more.” - David McNamara

The Powell Movement #234 - Robert Guerrero

“Robert Guerrero grew up during the intersection of the internet and inline skating. Meaning he made friends all over the world via AOL chat rooms and lived a double life…Loner student during the weekdays and popular street skater on the weekends. Eventually, Rob G became a legend within the sport, known for both insane rails as well as some of the most creative skating ever seen. Throughout this time, Rob lived a spiritual, nomadic lifestyle that eventually takes him to an Ayahuasca retreat in Peru. This is where he ends up getting shot in the face at point-blank range. Hear all the details in the podcast” - Mike Powell

Platform #39 - Sacha Lopez

“Sacha Lopez has been around for a long time, but it feels like he's finally getting the recognition he deserves. He was recently picked up by new boot brand Iqon, as well as skating for the iconic frame company 50-50, and his section in the Barcelona scene video Flama was exceptional. He has just followed up that ender part with an online profile, and he's got another one coming out this summer.
Sacha talks about having to leave his native Argentina because of all the violence, what it was like growing up in Germany, why he moved to Barcelona and what his life is like now. He also discusses why he quit Razors after riding for the brand for several years and his plans going forward.” - David McNamara
