How the fuck did he do that, the "kicker" doesn't seem big enough to 50 it let alone nosegrind that.
-

damn john sciano has a lot of ads and a interview in here they put him fully on lakai too which is cool. Gilbert is actually happy on workshop as stated in the interview I'm glad he's staying loyal.

Double dang! I like that everything this dude puts out makes you go " whoah"! Much like Mr. Suciu, he stylishly does all of the tricks that you wish you could do. The photos are bangn and the layout is smooth! Simply stoked.

I don't have any pictures or specific details of them up close, but when I met him at Venue they looked like they were all the old school/classic american style, really well done too. It's not that surprising since that style is HUGE in Richmond, and there are a ton of solid artists there.
-
it's dumb to say that caring about spot and trick selection is a thing of the past.
-
I like when they show something about the spot so that you can find it with some research, like those highway signs. It's as if they want to say, yeah come find the spot, you can't fuck with it anyway
-
i thought the skateboard mag went under?

Who said that?
EDIT: Also, what do ya'll think of gilbert crockett's quote when speaking on quality control of footage and skateboard "genres"?
"If you're down for everything then you're down for nothing. If you like everything, what kind of character is that? How real are you actually being? You can't like everything. People are full of shit."
In a way I feel like its true, but to dictate yourself only to a specific type of skating seems silly to me. Bruce Lee didn't believe in styles...To an extent I think its all fake; all types and styles of skating are studied and can be recreated to an extent, so I don't see how any of it is any realer than anything else. Ah shit, this is turning into some sort of conceptual art/authenticity debate in my head...

I think it was Skateboarder.
GILBY CROCKER IS MY HERO

great to hear he's happy on alien.
-
Can't wait for his shoe to get a Euro release
Also stoked on the Sciano Ad, the guy should get way more coverage

might be over thinking it, probably just saying "everybody likes some things more than others and if you pretend not too then your not being honest"

Love Gilbert and all those tricks in the interview, but that is not a great photo for the cover.
-
Agreed. Could have been a cool cover if the photo was better. Needs more Sturt level shit.
From working in the industry, I can tell you that the pros who were highly picky with which clips they released are the ones who are now regarded as legends. The ones who didn't have high standards for quality control have been largely forgotten. Quality is key.

Oh shit, stoked for that. Makes me wanna watch the Union video...dude had a great style. Feel the same way about Dorian Tucker.

well said, and quite true. BUT, that being said, when you're considered "legend status", I feel like that high standard should go out the window (to an extent). Talking w/ Joe Brook and this came up and he talked about dudes like Rick Howard and other older "legend" dudes, and how they won't just put out anything. And I completely respect that, but when you've reached that status, people just want to see you skate. I guess that's what bums me out a bit, not seeing clips from legendary dudes because it's not "current" or "ground breaking"....
-
Old Gil is probably one of my favorites out right now can't wait until the vans video drops, it will blow minds on a catastrophic level
-
Gil could nose grind a ledge that high without a bump.
-
Yessir

I like everything about this cover except the greenish tint of the photo, shit looks too digital (a tired old argument that you don't hear much anymore, but that's how it strikes me.)

I took it more as some people will try to get a trick on any spot because they can instead of waiting to find one that speaks to or inspires them in some way. That you should consider not only the trick, but how the spot looks and to a lesser degree how you will look skating it. He's saying doing anything you can anywhere you can dilutes your brand. If your job is to have people take photo's and film what you do for a living it only seems natural that you would want to have some control over how it looks. Especially for someone with ocd tendencies like gilbert.
I don't think he's saying you should limit yourself to one specific type of skating. Just use more taste and have a unique style and look that is yours. Like an artist that has a cohesive look to all their work without it being the same.

not many people try to find spots they think are cool, they just skate what everyone else is skating. There are constantly new hot spots and every pro will go there because they know the spot is good, and they can do a hard trick on it.

^^^^Not true. isnt it becoming even more important now that there are so many pros and skate companies ?
