Platform Episode 10 - Blake Bird

Originally meant to be episode four, hence the intro, this was
moved back because we had some nice photos of Blake we wanted to
use courtesy of Sam Cooper, so we decided to run with the print
interview first. For all of you too lazy to read the several
thousand words of text, here is the video version!
   


Blake is one of the most recognisable faces in the UK blading
scene, working at the famous Bay 66 Skatepark, building ramps for
competitions, judging FISE events and organising yearly
gatherings Capital Jam and Capital Rollas LDN Street Jam. He's
been skating since pretty much the inception of aggressive
blading in the UK and he's still going strong decades later. He
recently released a new street part at the tender age of 38, so
we decided to find out what he's been up to recently, find out
some stories from the booming '90s and see what's going on with
FISE in the wake of coronavirus.
