Typical gauntlet that needs to be run before I purchase something at a shop:
1. I like what I am looking at.
2. Do I need it? (If no, skip to step 4)
3. Does the size/shape/fit work for me?
4. Do I want it? (If no, then abort)
5. Do I like the company and the shit that they make? (If no, then abort)
6. Purchase item.
7. Get home. Notice pro's name on said item. Proclaim,"Shit, that's cool good for him."
Why give two shits if somebody has been dropping parts or not it's obvious that the dude contributes plenty to Anti Hero/DLXSF?
With that said, another Anti Hero video release would be fanfuckingtastic.

I cant imagine gerwer calling up a filmer and going to spots. I feel whenever he skates it just happens.

One of my favorite spots, a back tail here is solid shit. Things look a lot different from the ledge up there.
Do people need a tweet or instagram every time someone goes out skating? The fact of the matter is the people who decide to give him the colorway are the ones who know how much dude deserves it. That said, skate around SF for a while and you'll have plenty of Gerwer run-in's, dude is out skating and still rips harder than ever.
Would always like to see more footy for sure,but don't get why this topic has to come up again every 3 months or so.

Lets not forget that before the internet, you'd have to wait for actual videos to drop before seeing anyone's footage. I think jerry said it best in his epicly later'd, something along the lines of "You wouldn't hear anything from a dude in years, and when their part drops you think to yourself 'so that's what they've been up to.'" I think a lot of people have become spoiled with the constant footage, but to be honest i like it better when you don't see too much of someone, and when their part drops your mind is blown.

Frank Gerwer is proof of why I love skateboarding. If you have all the talent in the world, you can get the boot for being a dipshit. But if your a fucking awesome dude who rips (sometimes) you're the man. This isn't football, skateboarders can make professionals out of whoever the fuck they want.

i think the fact that he kickflipped wallenburg when he otherwise doesn't give a shit enough to kickflip a 5 stair should get him pro boards for life, i feel.
frank gerwer is a goddamn institution.

Other skaters get a signature truck and they put out a small part. Gerwer gets a truck and shoots green jello out of his nose.
You don't have to love his skating, but if you don't love Gerwer the person, you should put on some tights and dive off a bridge.

i'd buy a gerwer truck over an o'neill truck without a doubt. different demographics. can't say i'd ever buy a pink truck though, probably one with his nose on it.

The only think I would change is that they could have made a joke about a nose grind. If there was the money available, a little molded metal nose would have been fucking hilarious.
