slap circa 2005-2006 would say:

nice fit on krooked/stereo/rasa libre.

honestly though, i hope it was an error, or that he does end up toy. he would bring back a lot of that og toy vibe with his skating. trade billy marks to jamie thomas for john fitzgerald.

Agreed.

I would assume Alien because him and Donovan are good friends but I could also see Toy Machine. This is pretty weird though.

I don't care much for him but for a guy who just got on a company a couple of months ago, that looks bad.

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.

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.

I did admit that. It's funny that you say that because when he was on Black Box, he was fitting that mold a lot too. Skating a lot of rails and not doing as much lines. He even said that he felt pressured to skate a way he didn't want to while on Mystery whereas now that he's on AWS, he feels like his skating is a better reflection of himself. What really got me stoked on him was all of his KOTR footage and that ride on grind gap grind in that TWS issue.

Off the team page and off the cold war site. I never thought about posting here until I saw that no one mentioned this. Does anyone know what happened?
Was he ever on those sites? �Black Box site still lists Windsor, Schultz, and Hardy as ams, Elissa is still listed as a pro.

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!
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”

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