i was flipping through some random shit on youtube and frank gerwer pped up. i started watching a bunch of his and parts, and re realized how fucking gnarly he is. im going to have to say if gerwer never makes it to a top 10 greatest skaters of all time he is undoubtedly 11th.

If you saw him live at a demo you would not think this.

I've seen him and skated with him live during a demo, and I don't think like you'd think I'd think.

When he came to the Shelter in Albany he sucked the shit big time. Landed absolutely nothing, yet he skated the whole time. Maybe he's got a better showing on a full tranny concrete park.
-
He's dope, skating could use more gerwers and less New era/nike dunk/ allover printing shirt wearing pretty boys.

"Shouldn't your board be a Gerwer board?" - one of my favorite graphics ever

i've seen him around SF a bunch and he kills it. he's also a pretty cool/funny/down to earth guy most of the time and pretty fun to skate with, probably the most affable guy on anti-hero

we have a bunch of post cards gerwer would send us when he was drunk. i wish i could find a scan of a few, they are pretty funny
-
i love frank gerwer and i hate saddam hussein
-
I'd like to drink a beer with frank.
-
i've skated with frank and he rips complete shit, you are a complete fucking moron.
-
def enjoyed his cash money vagrant section; very enjoyable. however, now lets be honest fellas, his personality has done way more for his career than his skills. lets be honest now....
-
Frank is the baddest.

Gerwer is too ill. He's an underground ripper the kids who buy all the all over print t-shirts can't appreciate.
-
his c.m.v. part is one of my favorites. i fucks with frank.

he was probably having a bad day, but it was also the last leg of the tour. he was trying backside nosegrinds and backlips on ledges and not really getting close, dan pensyl and andrew allen owned that day

Frank's part in CMV is classic.

i hope a girl calls you out for a weak performance in the sac in the near future.
-
His ender in Cash Money Vagrant is so sick. I guess no one has ever bombed that hill except for him. Not to mention he did it with a cig in his mouth. Gerwer is one of my all time favorites
-
i apreciate his nose
-
I love half-lazy pros like gerwer. Maybe because I can much more identify to them than to chris cole or johnny demo.

Franks part in 6 Newell was fuckin' great. The dudes a ripper.

im sure his goal was to get his trick count up while you watch
-
Sick as fuck. Now pro for latic skates.
Wait, don't you guys have to hate because he wears fallens, rides fixedgear and does yoga?
Check out the new lowcard - 2 photos.
I want to see a Grewer and Stranger ad soon. Plzkthnx.

I've always liked the guy. I hope he pulls together a few more parts in the future.

Frank is sick! love seeing footage of him. his 6 Newell and cash money parts get me stoked everytime i watch them.

Seen some of the hills he has done in person. The guy is insane. He could have just bombed the hills and he'd be up on my list, but add the wallenberg kickflip, and its just insane to not recognize his skills.

Awesome skating. Gnar.

I agree with you 100%. Seems like an awesome guy to skate and bullshit with.

so by the last leg of a tour he should be bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to blow your mind? more like barely able to still stand up from skating demos and filming constantly and sleeping on floors on an antihero tour.
-
if you've ever stood at the top of Taylor (that bar gerwer tailslid to bomb, and the gonz had the thrasher cover doing a back 5) and imagined bombing it, gerwer is god. i rolled down for about 2 seconds and had to stop, i was already going to fast. and he bombed lombard! jesus christ.
-
he was smoking weed behind my back on a set of bleachers at the beauty and the beast demo
-
peep the JESUSONVIAGR4 posts on page one and try convincing me that hes cool
-
I'm kicking myself for not watching that cash money part until now. Thanks for that.
-
heh, ah lee's reply to him is golden.
if you knew the extent of jesus's taste, and how him and his friends constantly ragged on me for digging east coast shit, while all he would do is hype up jim greco, then you would have realized along time ago that dude isn't cool.

This rail is a little tougher than it looks... but it's Gerwer, front smith, second try:

GERWERS SICK
-
Odd to remeber he was on The Firm far a long while. The Anti Hero fit is it.
-
he bombed lombard thats all you need..
take your ass to SF and try to bomb the hills he has..
-
he bombed lombard thats all you need..
That street's scary enough in a car.
The only thing gnarlier would be someone doing it on a unicycle.
-
yep this guy kicks ass, "Watch out for the slow walking trees!" I love that shit.
-
this dude wins at life. its so weird cause im wearin that frank out antihero shirt today. anyway i agree with whoever said we could use more pros like him. hell i would be happy with only watchin DLX riders to tell you the truth. always hyped on Gerwer

Alright dude I've been trying to be cool with you lately, but siding with this fat little shit named gest is ridiculous. You guys deserve each other though I suppose. You can stroke each other's gut's while landing that first kickflip.
Why don't you go lie about getting laid in the TG some more, huh? Make up some more stories about raping chicks, that'll impress everyone.
-
Greatest Jew on earth. Gnarly as fuck too. I got to see him kickflip into this sketchy ass bank ontop of an L Train station at the Jefferson Street stop.

Who's trying to impress who again? I have no reason to fuck around on the internet and lie about my life. You know we've seen eachother three times in the past two years, yet you continue to act like you know what I'm all about and continue to be condescending. Calling me out for 'lying on slap' is some of the stupidest shit I've heard in a second.
Those rape stories aren't public dog, keep that shit in on chat.
-
wow, guys
way to shit on the totally awesome gerwer thread.
-
fuck you jalopy james, i said something great about gerwer on page 1 already which was like a long time ago
HES GREAT K?

Gerwer is the man on and off his board.
...shitty that some people judge a skateboarder by how they skated at a demo.
-
tugg is correct
in summer comes early he pretty much has about 5 ledge backlips and that was really good enough for me, he has a real good, and dare i say it, "RAW" style. and he just says a bunch of funny shit all the time. DROP IN!
-
Any time he talks in Beauty and the Beast is just hilarious.

Yes!!! All the extra footy with him being a drunken tard is priceless!!!!!! Love that guy.

Frak is the shit. He crack's me up every time I see footage of him. :D

S.O.T.Y.
-
That Gerwer Baby board was hilarious.
-
That dance off in B&B is reason enough to love Gewer
-
I bet Gerwer eats tons of Kielbasa

kinda late on this thread, franks gnarly as fuck tho, i met him at a fallen demo around 5 years ago and made him a turkey sandwich, since i was little i thought it'd be funny to send him a letter sayin what's up. after that he sent me abunch of random ass letters with drawings and tellin me about what he was doin, dudes tight as fuck
-
Extremely stupid question but how old is Frank? Late 20's-ish?
-
frank is the fucking man! I ran into him a couple times in SF, and one time he was like "I got 75 beers in the fridge back at our place 50 of them are cold anyone down?" to me and like 5 other dudes at 12 in the afternoon. One of the guys I was with headed over with him and didnt get back till like the next day. Had multiple stories from just one day with Frank. Dude can seriously shred!
-
there is a gerwer circa add seven inches up from where i write this. anyways, I love the gerwer! hope to session with you when i make it out sf

when the fuck are we going to see another frank gerwer part? i still havent seen beauty and the beast but i wanna see an anti hero video or a transworld part or something. CMON FRANKY

You'd have to get one really fast dolly and a hell of a long track to be able to pull that shit off.
Anti-hero dudes never put out parts. Cash money vagrant is about it, along with cards and trujillo's tws parts.
-
Im a big fan of Gerwer but he hasn't put out any footage in a long time!

I was flipping through some old magazines and found this Last Words with Frank Gerwer page. Some pretty funny answers in there. Portrait is by Dave Chami. From the May 2016 TWS.

I buy the all-over prints and I appreciate Gerwer
-
I appreciate the fact that he's always in the little promos for DLX. Some are better than others but I am grateful for any opportunity to hear him speak. I really liked the old antihero skits, and used to watch this all the time

Was out a bit ago and saw Frank boardslide the cardiel hubba. It ended up in a grimple stix IG edit. Really cool to see in person.

Hands down the person you want to kick it with in SF, no matter the time or day.

Massimo and Brockel don't have parts in Roll Forever

How is the "The Conversation" missing from this thread? It's one of the finest pieces of skate media on the internet. Would watch several more hours of Captain Frank and AA just shooting the shit.

Gerwer's part in the number 9 video was a huge influence on me when I first started skating. Around Long island he was a legend and people would tell stories about all the insane tricks he had done.
-
Saw him in Portland along with Chet Childress and they were getting on the same bus.
I wanted to say hello but kept to myself, there’s nothing else you can say after you fan out......
-
he's funnier than tim oconner but not as funny as he's made out to be. one hell of a ripper though. when he burst on the scene it was all fs boardslides for a while then he had a 411 checkout w/ sick combos down these 2 quick sets. and the fakie 5-0 and bsts on the long ledge over a doubleset was and still is crazy!

one of the greatest to ever do it plus the most marketable nose ever

He was paying dues before dues was being collected.

Frank's professional trajectory is amazing. There were years where we only saw comedy Frank and very little skating and now in his late 40s, the man is on fucking fire. Love it.

i feel like frank peaked in his 411 profile. long island frank was tech, he was gnarly, he was rodentine. he moved out to sf and got drunk for a number of years, shocked us w/ a good part to old dirty bastard then got drunk for twice as long. frank has a little bluebird in his heart but he pours whiskey on it.
