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.

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.

Sometimes, a bald Scotsman feels the need to interview an equally bald Frenchman. Freddy White has worked tirelessly to provide blading content over the years, with Frenchie Fries, Be-Mag, FISE, Cayenne Project and more, so it seemed only right to sit him down and ask about it all.  

I managed to make not one but TWO errors in the intro. Nils Jansons' VOD is called Mind Your Step, not Mind The Step, and there are four Cayenne Project videos, not three, even though I listed all four in the intro! I blame old age.

Josh Nielsen's section in the Melbourne scene video Seven Rats back in 2011 was brilliant and I've been a fan of his skating ever since. He also has a great part in Vine St: Chapter II, full of switch and natural variations, and has produced a bunch of entertaining online videos over the years, including Neon Inline alongside Rob Kellett.  

Josh was recently added to the USD Skates team, so it seemed like the perfect time to find out more about him, how he got on the boot brand, what it was like filming for Vine St with Dom West and being in Wuhan, China when Coronavirus swept the planet. He also talks about his time living in Copenhagen, his favourite Australian skaters, plans for the future and more.

Hayden Ball announced a new company this year, Dusty Denim, and he just brought out a stunt-filled street section, so it seemed like the perfect time to quiz him on a bunch of topics.  

At one point I mistakenly thought Hayden Ball had a couple of clips in a Mindgame video, turns out that was actually Hayden Watt. I would feel bad but he called me Daniel at the start of the interview. Haha!  

Hayden talks about living with Jeff Stockwell, going skating with Brian Shima, growing up skating in Reno, Nevada and the impact of spending time with people like Mike Choley, Pat Lennen and Erik Bailey, the ways the San Diego scene has changed over the years and more.

Yandriel Silverio has released four brilliant street sections in the last ten months, including his most recent Magnetician part, so it made perfect sense to have him on the podcast. 

He talks about his recent struggles with coronavirus and injury, filming for his latest section, living with Asperger's symdrome and how it affects his skating, how he got picked up by Razors, his issues with skateboarders, plans for the future and more.

Detroit's Luke Naylor is on the come up. After having a standout clip in We Are Valo 6, and the ender part in recent crew video Rotation, he is making a name for himself as the torch-bearer of a scene that has produced Gary Murphy, Don Bambrick, JC Rowe and Brian Weis. In addition to some strong sections in recent years, he also regularly ends up on the podium at real street events and has walked away with top honours in the past. Luke talks about sponsorship, the various styles of skating he appreciates, his local scene, filming for a new part and more.

Been slacking for the past couple of weeks but Platform is back! For the latest episode we catch up with one of New York's finest, Tim Adams! The former USD and BHC Wheels rider just dropped an excellent new section for Blader Union called Sinner, his first full street project in years, so we had to find out what inspired him to film another part.

Tim talks about growing up in Rochester, filming an insane amount of sections over the years, what cultivated his fast and interesting approach to skating, sponsorship, coming out as gay to the blading community, what he's been doing with himself recently and much more.
