[decaf]

Dude seemed to be real during his interview, but also a little salty. Thoughts?

How can you hate on Dylan's style. As much as I liked him when I was young, hes a total kook now.

[Dad you're embarrassing me]

I bought a set of Grind King trucks and some Gershon globes due to his influence. I blame myself for being too impressionable.

  He's dead on (sorry Im a pun guy)

[SquintinTarantino]

I met Gershon briefly at an A-team demo in like 97-98 and he was a cool guy.  I still call swass "Gershon booty" to this day. 

[Bumpovertrash]

Shit atleast the guy is honest about his opinions

[Backheels]

Fuck this bitch ass nigga, hating on like EVERYONE. Jealous bastard. Screw thos kook and his little board brand no one has ever heard of

[billyerlife]

Oh boo hoo. Gershon's tight, and he was asked his opinions and delivered, ain't nothing too controversial there anyway. Cool of him to give credit to Yoshi too!

[jomeara1]

90% of that interview he made absolutely no sense.

[GAY]

I loved his shoe.

[MexicanSpaniard]

he unfriended me on social media a few years ago

[Sludge]

Skateboarding = not allowed to have a differing opinion or you're labeled a kook

You have to follow the rules

Praise Dylan and wear dickies, and don't be honest so everybody likes you!

[goldenbullcow]

Reynolds is taking L’s left and right this week... he sounds like a jaggoff in this interview and in Antwan’s 9 club.

[GardenSkater77]

I liked his Reynolds punch to the face story. If Reynolds was talking shit on Gershon he deserved it and it was a good lesson for him.

Welcome to SLAP, Gershon. I liked your Globe shoe.

[Dad you're embarrassing me]

You can't get sweaty not get salty

I loved his shoe.

All I remember is wearing through the paper-thin soles in about a week!

[TwisT]

Everyone complains about skaters not being real, only to call em a kook, when they don’t tow the line...

[Silky Johnson]

Bitter has-been

[augustmoon]

lol, nothing fake about Dylan's style.  Gershon was my hero, but he sounds like he has some mental issues; getting a manic/schizo vibe.  Forever a legend and forever underrated, and always kept it real, even if I don't agree with his opinions. 

maybe a pertinent question:  at what point do you move on from skating?  it's interesting to see these older pros still skating and killing it, but I don't understand how a lot of them get by trying to live off of these weird companies and sponsors instead of just getting a regular job or trade and skating for fun.  A long pro career seems to really stunt your emotional and professional growth.  realistically, what happens when its all over and you're in your late 40s with no marketable skills?

He seemed careful to say that he had a company, but not specify that that is how he is making money.


What do you do for money these days?
So, I have The oBtuseconcept.

I imagine he works, just didn't want to get into it.

Have you seen his YouTube videos?

[PeggyHillsShittySpanish]

He seemed to give his honest opinion, which is always rad. He did seem to ramble a little and harbor some anger. I feel like CTE isn’t talked about enough in skateboarding. Of all the sports that have a high probability of cracking one’s dome (aside from professional fighting) skateboarders seem the least likely to wear a helmet. IMO a lot of the older dudes that appear to be a little off may be the result of cracking their cranium one too many times.

[Style Police]

Dude murdered spots in the late 90s. Seems like he always had a beef with the industry though.

I really wish some of these older dudes would just retire gracefully and make room for the younger guys. Some of them try so hard to hang onto their relevance and stay in the game, but the truth is not everyone can be Andrew Reynolds or Koston. It’s probably very difficult for them to let go because it’s all they know in life.

[hermanos racists]

cant deny some of the things are true...most of slap  forums ride the industry dick hard thats why his opinions are disgusting for a few.
Skateboarding as a career is about being fake and a brand puppet...so what else you want.
