Meeting Gabbers on Thursday, ask away. Will make a post before filming begins marking the cutoff. Keep in mind guests can skip over questions so try to keep the questions good and the troll questions to a minimum.
Name: Gabriel Summers aka Gabbers
Known for: Man Am, Chef, Aussie, Damn It All, 5 years at the bottom

Edit: Here you go guys!! Big thanks to Feedmeseymour once again for the edit. More episodes to come! Once again, keep in mind that guests are allowed to skip any question so keep them good and don’t be surprised if your question got skipped because it sucked.
I’m sure people are only going to be focused on Verso for the next few days but if you wanna take a break from that go ahead and have a listen.

Just wanted to say you always seemed like the most shalom dude on zero and this cements it.
Has The Chief ever told you to go do something again even though you were fine with the footage?
I'm sure he is maybe more chill now, but is his rep for being a hardass exaggerated or pretty accurate?

Best thing about being from australia?
-
as a "man am" How do you explain the to people that you're on the cusp of being a "pro" skater? Is skateboarding your only source of income? Do you just tell people you're pro just to avoid explaining the nuances? The lines these days are so blurred anyway, does being "pro" still mean anything?
-
You’ve made no effort to hide your balding, which I think is commendable. Some pros tried to actively hide any photo or video of their balding heads, but it could be said that only the most charismatic men (such as Donny Benèt or John Lurie) freely show their balding pates. Have you ever felt pressured to hide it because it might not make you as appealing to kids?
A stereotype of Australian women is that they love black men. Do you think this fetishization (which some would say is immature) causes an undercurrent of racism and mistrust among Australians? Has it ever bothered you?
If strangers call you Gabbers, is that weird? Is it a more personal nickname reserved for you and your friends?
Can you do a fakie worm?
During the many years you've been absolutely killing yourself and going through those sponsorship changes, did you ever deeply reflect on the trajectory of your life and think, “This isn’t worth it and I should stop?” What made you stick with it all this time?
Thanks, Gabriel. You're one of the best to do it these days.

Thoughts on Thrasher being the only major skate magazine left in print? Does it leave a void? Do we need other magazine to represent other voices in skating? Do we need thrasher?

Skateboarding is going to be in the 2020 Olympics, what other "extreme" activity would you choose to be in there as well if you had to?

Hey Gabriel, how has it been filming with Vinnie? I skated with him for several years back in the day and it's always fun to see how much he rips at skating himself. I hope he's been able to get some tricks while out on missions with the Zero squad.

Yeah, FMS is putting the last finishing touches on it. Id say in a day or 2. Keep in mind this isn't a weekly show and it hasn't even been a week since the Manderson episode dropped. I'm hyped people look forward to these and you can rest assured we got plenty of good guests lined up and have started having people reaching out to me for a change to do these. Due to other skate shows and podcasts I'm sure its hard for people to wait over a week for new episodes because its the norm but since this is more of a hobby for us we don't give ourselves such a strict timeline. But like Francis said, as soon as its live it will be posted here and I will make an insta post right away. Much love to everyone.
-
no need to rush it or explain yourselves, my Gs.
you all are doing an awesome job. i enjoy it hard

Here you go guys!! Big thanks to Feedmeseymour once again for the edit. More episodes to come! Once again, keep in mind that guests are allowed to skip any question so keep them good and don’t be surprised if your question got skipped because it sucked.

Thanks guys! Another gem. Stoked to have another person answer my dumb questions.
Think we'll ever get Chief to do one of these?

I loved that he tried to do the Rowley flatground tricks after the nosegrind. Some true skate nerd shit.
