Gershon Moseley. He used to come to my half pipe when I was a little kid he was pretty cool then I reached out to him on Facebook and he denied ever knowing me and told me not to talk to him
Sounds like par for the course. Of all the pros I've encountered over the decades, the lamest of all, by far and away, was Gershon Moseley. Was at a small party with some skate buddies at a townhouse right near Strands beach in OC. We're all in our late teens and everybody's getting their buzz going. And somehow a raging drunk Gershon shows up. Mind you he's in his early to mid-thirties and nobody knows who invited him. He starts vibing all the guys and talking himself up. Due to the fact that there are a lot of fine females around and he's getting no attention, he starts to get frustrated and belligerent. Then he starts trying to pick a fight with this scrawny teenager who's clearly afraid of him. If you look closely, Gershon is pretty fucking muscular, and probably outweighs the kid by at least 40 pounds. The kid was trying to diffuse the situation but that pathetic bully Gershon was relentless and kept trying to goad him into a fight. Other people had to intervene, and even then he was pushing them away to try to get at a clearly scared teen. Seemed like a big act to try to impress the ladies but it's severely backfired and he ended up looking just so awful.
