Pardon me I am assuming this thread has been posted before. But re stumbled on this video part again. I remember watching it years ago on repeat all the time and then finding out he stopped skating. Such a bummer. Dude was so sick. Wonder if zero would have ever done anything with him if he kept it up.

Didn't this guy say Skateboarding ruined his life? Mine too, nigga. At least you got to travel and meet people, all I got was bad ankles and disappointment.

IIRC he does a pretty big kickflip in the Cold War friends section. That's about all I remember about him

Also, didnt he live with Jamie Thomas for a bit and then left/got kicked out because Jamie wanted him to help pay bills or something, and Gipper got into a trademark argument with Jamie about how he's a rich asshole who does nothing for his riders?

I honestly miss Gip’s presence. As grumpy as he almost always was.

He used to argue with people on messageboards whether being gay was a sin or not. Same time he was ranting about jacking off being a sin. I think he was living in chief's guesthouse which explains a lot. He was always the store brand version of Sierra Fellers anyway.

This was years before #nofap started trending. Josiah was an absolute visionary.

Was gonna say the same thing. Him, Sierra, and Yoshi T. all kinda blend stylistically together. They’re all super talented, but just kinda got muddled together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
 I was born & raised in Montana, so Sierra always stuck out  to me being as that’s where he’s from too. He was the little shit who was way younger than everyone and fucking ripped. First time I met him was at this weird indoor almost DIY type park in Great Falls called “Set Free”, it was in an old theater with tons of wood ramps and awful lighting. He was the kid finding the tallest qp so he could kickflip off the deck to flat. That park got kinda wild and was shut down after multiple fights and hijinx, I think the final straw was when some kid just straight up took a huge shit in a trash can. Oddly enough I used to skate with everyone’s favorite Aaron Kyro on & off back then, not homies or anything but skate acquaintances. Dude could manual anything. Anyways, I’ve rambled enough for now. Cheers y’all.
