I bought a set of Them Skates Too Easy 909 skates from Alchemyst Skate Shop just so I could try out the new Them Skates Street Frame. If you use discount code wheelscene10, you can get 10% off your next order.

NOTE: I completely forgot I have actually tried these frames with a flat setup of Nils Jansons BHC wheels, which are 60mm, so they can definitely be skated flat at that size.
Any questions, leave them in the comments.

Easily the best of the new generation of current skaters to emerge from Scotland and arguably one of the most interesting skaters in the world at the moment, Dominic Bruce personifies an exciting future for the sport. He is a fierce competitor who is never far from the podium and, as David Sizemore’s 5th Floor highlights, he is an exceptionally creative street skater with an enormous talent to back up his wildly imaginative ideas. If he keeps going on his current trajectory, he promises to take what is possible on skates into unchartered territory.
Dom talks about his astounding section in 5th Floor, his admiration for David Sizemore and his ability to capture a side of his skating he believes no-one else has so far, why he has chosen to call Copenhagen home, his numerous adventures with the Haitian crew, his thoughts on sponsorship and the industry, and much more. I predicted this episode was going to be full of wit, charm and just hint of cheekiness, and Dom did not disappoint. What many people may not know about him is that he is also incredibly thoughtful, reflective and not afraid to criticise himself, making a conscious drive for self improvement. Wherever his life takes him, it’s guaranteed to be a hell of an adventure.

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!

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.

Ryan Parker has been a joy to watch for years, entertaining us with such parts as Multichorus and Port Authority. His one-foot grind control is a sight to behold. He is one of USD Skates’ newest recruits and his introduction section was a big hit due to his perfectionist control, stylish execution and vast selection of switch tricks.
For the latest episode of Platform, I talked to Ryan about moving from Razors to USD, the drastic change in his blading over the past decade, the ways he uses social media to connect with others across the globe, his inspirations and more. Oh, and his flatmate Cody Reffner crashed the party at various points to deliver his exceptionally dry sense of humour.
