Platform Episode 2 - Coco Sanchez

The second episode of our new podcast, Platform, is now online and this time we speak with one of the most recognisable ladies in blading, Coco Sanchez. Coco has competed all over the world and was a member of the Rollerblade pro team, but she decided to relinquish that responsibility for personal reasons. She was later flown out to Barcelona to promote the Razors Loca, a skate marketed towards female bladers, but found the experience so toxic that she ended up throwing the skates in the trash. Coco offers an interesting insight into what it’s like being a woman in the blading industry, the sexism and discrimination she has faced that ultimately let to her stepping away from the industry, and her new life as a nomadic blader travelling around America’s skateparks.
