He is following Alien Workshop instead of Zero now on Instagram
it's pretty hard to fit that i don't give a fuck mentality that dude has when you have an instagram
i'm a fan... but i'm just saying
If he goes to AWS, maybe he'll pull a Crockett and become more fun to watch after. Not a dig at Jamie, I just didn't care about Gilbert until he got on Vans and AWS.
weird what didnt you like about him back then ?, dude was killing it back then too and was super fun to watch
I don't know. I'm sure part of it is because I am a bigger fan of AWS than Mystery, so him getting on there made me take notice, especially because Giblert got on Mystery when they were in that phase of adding a bunch of people that eventually fell off, so I partially chalked him up to that. I just rewatched his 'Ride The Sky" part and it was better than I remember, but his more recent footage looks like a more powerful/faster/grown up version of his Black Box self. Like, you could tell that he was going to be good and him leaving Black Box just coincided with his huge maturation in ability.
Admit it, you like him more now bc he looks more hip and its cool to like him now. he was way more doing his own thing when he rode for blackbox, now he seems to be fitting the modern AWS role/look.
Nah, Gilbert was boring on mystery. Whether he got better or his story is similar to Omar moving from foundation to Alien, he is much more fun to watch now.
Who said John acted like he never gave a fuck, and where did you get that from? He won a week long contest to get sponsored- that's giving a fuck!

He's definitely progressed since then but he was always super fun to watch.

He's trying to say that nobody likes you, Victor.

There is more Bieber coverage on Slap than one would expect from a bunch of manboys arguing the minutiae of rollerboard stunts. Actually now that I type that it kinda makes sense.

The spots Gilbert skates are a lot cooler now, as opposed to the stair/rail variety when he was on Mystery. Not to mention that his footage is edited way cooler now, too.

Yawn. You're debating brand aesthetics, not skating. Are you all a bunch of 15 year old girls?

no, he's talking about skate spots, not brand aesthetics. Are you a twelve year old retard? The spots a person skates are skate spots, the logos and images of a company are brand aesthetics. Do you understand the very obvious difference between the two, or are you stuck on autopilot, automatically claiming that whatever anybody says, that they are really talking about brand aesthetics?
What it sounds like is that you are concerned so much with brand image that you are trying to hate him simply for being on a "cool company," which is way lamer than liking somebody for that reason.
Its okay that you don't get it, you'll figure it out someday....

Skate spots ('not the stair/rail variety when he was on Mystery') and tasteful editing sure sound like aesthetic choices to me.
I didn't think he was great on Mystery and I don't think he's great now. If AWS/Vans is enough to give you an indie rock street cred boner, by all means, enjoy your marketing.

you seem really fucking dumb, you remind me of some skateboarder that has a similar name to your username. ( not debating if the skater in question is good or bad)

i dont know if this has been said yet or not but what if john came to jamie about the one in a million interview and asked if he would do it, not knowing what he was getting himself or jamie into. because everyone associated w that show is getting blasted, and you could tell just by the way jamie was talking, that he wasnt talking about the shows stupid challeneges, but the hardships of ACTUALLY being a pro. he might be pissed he was involved and blames it on john

If something like that happened, which I doubt it did, it would be an incredibly weak move on Jamie's part.

I'm surprised so many guys didn't like gilbert when he was on mystery. He had the best part in their promo, he is better now, but he had the same amazing style and went fast as fuck always.
